Holy shit, can't believe I missed this April's Fool's joke from Channel AwesomeThe Cinema Snob and Linkara supposedly review a Power Rangers porn comic. (It isn't)

I think if Cecil was supposed to have a canonical race, they'd have stated so from the start. And given that Baldwin's voice is now iconic for Cecil the character, I highly doubt they're going to change the actor. Part of the difficulty of translating an audio medium where they can be as ambiguous as they like about any of the characters into a visual medium of cards (which is all fanart to start with, we ought to keep that in mind) is that they then have to deal with people's desire for a concrete appearance for main characters. And the writers have been VERY vague with Cecil's appearance, so the idea that they've got some canonical vision for him at this point seems unlikely.

Given that things like their shirts are decided by contests and voting and thus fan interpretation, I don't think we can take the merchandise as definitive canon for any of the characters. Even the third eye is something that the fans generated and spread around.

I loved that joke. Amusingly if ATFW's storylines were done in that format they'd be just as bizzare and surreal as Night Vales.

Okay, um, because the presence of that link in this thread makes no sense otherwise, I'll just come out and say that the Atop the Fourth Wall April Fool's episode was a Night Vale spoof.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

Episode 4 of Alice Isn't Dead is up.

So I have a theory. The details of the narrator's trips are mostly irrelevant. It's primarily about her dwelling on her own words to keep herself company as she "looks" for Alice.

In time, I want to see her say something like "It's been so long, I don't know if you ever existed Alice, and I just made you up to give myself hope of finding happiness".

The Trial of Hiram McDaniels. Also, party in New York for the 4 year Anniversary.

What lame justice. Hiram's four guilty heads are sentenced to execution and his violet head dies by consequence? I hope he escapes.

This is Night Vale we're talking about.

That said, I don't think we've heard the end of this. I feel like having the entire jury abruptly replaced is grounds for a mistrial.

Does Nightvale do mistrials?

Yeah true, so they probably don't have a procedure for mistrial or criteria.

It seems Mc Daniels does in fact pose a threat to these strangers if they made the move to ensure their execution.

Shit, Alice and Night Vale are gonna be coming out the same week for the foreseeable future! I liked them switching off weeks! WHAT IS GOING TO FILL THE VOID IN THOSE WEEKS?

"That cramp in your ankle from holding the gas pedal at the angle just so is the devil". You mean that's normal?

I guess we'll call her Chanterelle until she gets a real name.

Or Chipmunk.

Nice outro music...

The Black Tapes and Tanis? Hello From The Magic Tavern? Wol 359 and Archive 81? I could name a lot of podcasts.

There has to be something in Night Vale that can detach Purple Head and let him live independently. Like a robot body, or something.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Well, they did transplant a little girl who was a hand onto a full grown Russian man.

I bet all of the heads end up living, though.

Hm, a blackout. Stranger protest against the ruling if Hiram Mcdaniels?

Mc Daniels and the strangers are clearly on the opposite side. They replaced his jury to ensure his sentence, and Violet begged Cecil to let him go because he might be the only hope they have against them.
