Spoiler: Kirsten wakes up from her poison dream. Whew! That was close.

This is the episode where Tyler returns to the Museum of Civilization, with a bone to pick with various parental units and the whole scheme in general. Kirsten's not so into being locked up, but the rest of the troupe are kind of cool with it, as long as they get warm water.

Old bearded dudes make out, which proves that gays aren't always young and hot. They can be old and hot for their ages too.

Daniels enjoys pointing out how Clarke goes full Lear while also being part Claudius (adding up to over 100% but whose counting, besides Jones?), and Smashmouth ties the whole thing together with a Christmas Train you'll have to listen to to understand. All to say you don't want to miss this almost penultimate episode.

Welcome to the 69th episode!

Flashback warning: this one is about Kirsten hallucinating-remembering the bad old days while she's dying of poison in worse new days. (Don't worry, she survives.) If you were missing the whole thing about the months in Frank's apartment and why they left, well, here's the makeup exam. Tune in for Jones just kind of killing it in his textual analysis while Daniels goes damn son you're on fire.

The *hit's really hitting the fa* in this creepy, culty, dystopian, fiery episode. But no Shakespeare references, or are there? Kirsten joins "The Undersea" while the rest of the troupe get frog marched into the airport. The conversation swings wildly in his unpredictable episode of the podcast, so don't miss it!

Jones is, like, really into airplanes, which means he was happy as a pig in s*it for this airport-set episode. The Museum of Civilization is also Daniels' favorite storyline. This episode's got it all: Shakespeare, dystopia, pandemic quarantine, angry pre-teen, fake identities...and more!

Daniels gets to talk about one of his favorite subjects: Rozencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead, the Tom Stoppard meta-drama about two bit players in Hamlet, here referenced in one of the best S.E. episodes yet. A huge bounce-back for the podcast after the last episode.

This is a catch-all plot episode where much is revealed but it's all pretty rushed and montage-ey. Daniels finds the author of the Station Eleven comic book the weakest storyline. Perhaps it's better developed in the novel. Also, someone (we aren't saying who) forgot to push "record" at the start and so we're using the phone's crappy audio. All in all, pretty much the podcast's worst episode but here it is in all its ugliness.

Daniels gets to pontificate on Shakespeare in this Hamlet-heavy episode. A lot of plot decoding this time. All pretty entertaining and essential for fully supplemented enjoyment of the show.

Jones claims a pandemic can't work like that. It either spreads very fast or it's very lethal, but not both. Daniels accepts this take without pushback, though secretly he's a little skeptical of where Jones gets this sort of information. Note that neither have the slightest knowledge of virology or immunology. Steve also for some reason hates the name Kirsten. Daniels defends his friend named Kirsten. Also Shakespeare. This is the level of depth of analysis fans have come to expect from the fellas, and they don't disappoint in this scintillating episode.
