#WelcomeToNightVale Novel #2 "It Devours!" (17-Oct-17).
The last novel was a high spot. Can this Novel #2 follow suit?
Review: soon.

Third and final part and well pretty much nothing happened. To think I rushed through this 3-parter to get to Novel #2.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #115 "Council Member Flynn (2)" (01-Oct-17).
OK we are getting 3-part stories in this Year Six. Hopefully that consolidates the storytelling and stops it being too nebulous which was a huge issue in Year Five.
Will they kill off Tamika?

@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #114 "Council Member Flynn (1)" (15-Sep-17).
Ok I though Tamika Flynn was going to become a hero in this fiction but no she's just a fascist? A bit disappointing for me as her rise to prominence has been one of the better mananged plots.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #113 "Niecelet" (01-Sep-17).
Nice intimate self contained ep. I liked there being an actual resoution to the plot which was clued in earlier. More of this please. I did LOL at Cecil realising nobody fucking listens to his radio show.
@creativemagpie.bsky.socialThings that have HEAVILY been on my mind recently.

Ok there's an extra 32 minutes at the end of this which seems to be a completely different podcast? Why am I even being subjected to this? It's like 32 minutes of a promo stuck in after a mere 25 minute WTNV ep. Insane.
I skipped it.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #111 "Summer 2017, Night Vale, USA" (01-Aug-17)
After some large scale nebulous lore toss in recent eps it's good to have a more smaller ep that maybe is building a new arc properly this time.
This is the start of Year 6 of WTNV.

More hiatus filler.
Novel #2 comes out 17-Oct-17 so I will wait til I have read Novel #2 before I listen back to this.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Bonus Podcast #9 "The Tragic Story of Louie Blasko" (01-Jul-17).
Hiatus time again!
This is the bonus track that was on the recent Live Show #106.5.
Good background given on the performance in that it was just one night only and the final night.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #110 "Matryoshka" (15-Jun-17).
This tidies up some of the chaos in recent WTNV. For me it's just cleaning up the mess of previous eps so for that I'm thankful.
If I ever hear the word "Multiverse" on WTNV or elsewhere again I may scream.

I was liking the pod as TFOWWSLIYH was in it but then they go and retcon her raison d'être too. So I got nothing out of this
I guess I liked Cecil sinking the island by mistake as an aside. That's at least the crazy WTNV goodness well done.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Donor Bonus Podcast 1 cont'd.
Well it's not great mainly as Carlos only exists to flesh out Cecil. He's a one joke character who actually makes Cecil uninteresting.
Who do I like less that Carlos?
Sheriff Sam needs Poochieing.
The rehabilitated Steve Carlsberg now needs killing.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Donor Bonus Podcast #1 "Holiday" (05-Jul-16).
As I completely missed that Cecil & Carlos were married I skipped this ep thinking it was 2018 as the dates were confused on the feed.
So now i know about the marriage I went back and listened to it.

@quercuas.bsky.socialSounds almost like something on #Welcometonightvale

So after this bad faith attempt to line every clashing idea up in one history they then say "Oh there's a multiverse now" (almost the exact words).
WTNV may lose me at times with its lack of story structure but i never expected plodding imagination.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast 109 cont'd.
Why are the writers tidying up a non-existent problem? WTNV's unique strength is that it's contradictory hokum. Trying to box every differeht entity together as having the same background is just self vandslism. It sounds even worse in the finished ep.

Crazy world building. Remember RTD tried to harmondise all the large scale Doctor Who villains into one pantheon. This tries the same.
Also seemingly they are going full 2010's with a fucking Multiverse too.
If this weren't a walkthrough I'd jump off here.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #109 "A Story About Huntokar" (01-Jun-17)
A jumping off point. WTNV is deliberately illogical as it's an amalgamation of ideas from different influences. This ep tries to square peg all its clashing ideas into one mythology square hole.
@bernardjkd.bsky.social#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast 108 cont'd.
OK me missing the marriage of the main character shows WTNV isn't getting my full attention. LOL, sorry WNTV but still kind of funny.
I'm worried WTNV is gonna start doing multiverse stuff. OMG 2010's F you for that lazy trope but WTNV is copycat fiction.
