Echo Chamber

Holy sh*t that was intense. (I posted first cause I stayed up til midnight here in Aus so yay I saw this first.)

Zack and Gaelyn finally pay off but we don't see the kiss. Come on you guys should have had it there. The tension between Tom and Dana while working on the Big Damn Kiss had so much tension, plus the ending result of that was hilarious. Also when did you guys quit on on not showing Zack's face?

As for the ending... wow just wow that was intense. Zack quits and then we find out that Mr. Administrator set everything up including [citation needed] and wants Echo Chamber to succeed and needs Zack to do so because he can suspend belief. What just happened? This was the biggest Wham Episode ever.

This was a brilliant ep. Kudos on those really fast credits also. So how many eps do we have left on this season anyways?

Wham Episode indeed. Because he can "suspend disbelief"? I sense some serious fourth wall leanage, if not approaching outright breakage.

Also, Mr. Administrator's emotion is showing. That's kind of a first, isn't it?

I liked the way Zack going to his house was shot, in particular the brief use of shadows on the street.

The Zack/Gaelyn and Tom/Dana parts were cutting between each other too fast; it became hard to follow, especially when the speech didn't match the camera. That Big Damn Kiss was genius, though! Did Dana get chocolate smeared on her face? And then the ending... I agree with this being a Wham Episode.

Edit: : There is one left — quick, start guessing what the trope is!

Great googily moogilies.

ahhhhhh zach's face put it back ahhhhhhhh

So who was filming Tom and Dana when they realized Zack was missing?

Drama...

It was a little hard to follow, but it looks like the ball got tossed from Dana to Zack.

Zach's evil twin brother Chaz was filming.

Cool episode. I guess the next one is either wham episode or xanatos gambit or something of the sort? Also, Mr Administrator's plan is to break the fourth wall and connect the worlds of fiction and reality.

I like how Toma & Dana are no longer the sole protagonists of the series with Zack as a camera-holding punchline. It adds a lot of narrative depth to the story.

Pardon the in-joke, it's just my favorite TV-Tropes-project-that-never-got-off-the-ground.

Thought it was pretty clear the next one is Big Damn Kiss.

^^^that's because the punchline job got taken over by Dave The Sound Guy

Reading these WMG's is my favorite thing about making this show. By far.

just wait until we break out the shipping charts

then you will regret everything.

It amused me a little when the WMG I made about [citation needed] getting cancelled came true sort of.

The guesses regarding Mr. Administrator's identity are the most hilarious to me.

Mr. Administrator is Lord English etc.

What are all the different guesses about Mr. Administrator's identity, anyway?

My personal theory is he's Eddie and Wales' clone-baby.

Echo Chamber. All the guesses are on the top.

I really like this episode.

Finale is up.

Be sure to check out next Tuesday's bonus goodie. Go ahead. Ask what it is.

Not tellin'

[[JokingMode Fast Eddie is mouldy, stupid, and assive]].

That was some episode! It was definitely a Mind Screw, and I really liked the beginning and how it doesn't answer the questions that brings up. But... I was expecting Tom and Dana and all to have some part. It feels kind of unresolved, great as it was. There had better be another season!

Well....... that was different and certainly defined it's title of Mind Screw.

So the main Admin is Administrator Prime and all the other admins are his kids/creations (which explains the Mysterious Employer stinger) and he is controlling nearly everything. The concept of Echo Chamber is an experiment to make tropes become reality through the show. They need Zack so they can help the show keep up and make people believe in it. If they are to explain Zack's departure via retcon or so the many meta layers of the show will be messed up or something because of how massively meta it has gotten... ... How the hell do you guys write this stuff and not get confused. This explanation I just gave doesn't seem to handle all of it.

This ep was still good even if it was off the walls crazy. The humorous moments were pretty funny.

Overall you've done an ingeniously deviously great job of keeping me hyped for next season. Unless that goodie Fast Eddie mentioned explains some things or acts as some continuation.

This entire season has been fantastic and large step above season 1. You guys found your footing, added new and intersting characters and made a much better story essentially Growing the Beard. The real question is, where the hell does it go now? There so many freaking possibilities. WMGs here we come.

I agree with all of that, but especially the last paragraph.
