I'm genuinely impressed how good the direction and animation was. Like compared to episode 1 the leap in quality is insane

Agreed. I was going to watch the video full-screen, but the suspense was too much for (a coward like) me when Kitten was approaching the office door to close it.

Speaking of Kitten, it just dawned on me that I don't think any of the characters, not even Marckus, ever explicitly called him by that name. The name 'Kitten' is only used in credits and action-describing subtitles. (e.g. [Big-D places his hand on Kitten's shoulder])

Does anyone else think this is intentional on writers' part? Or was his name ever said out loud in the episodes or audiologs?

Nah, he's only ever referred to by generic nicknames (e.g. "Love" by Marckus), titles (e.g. "Son-in-Law" by Big-D), or pronouns ("You" by Door).

Speaking of Kitten, his rant against Pyotr's self-serving cowardice is my favorite part in this episode.

Prolly a holdback to TTS where Kitten's name was never given in full (and for a while we didn't even get it partially)

The eye-catch in the third episode was surprisingly poignant. It revealed that none of the Licks actually chose to become Vampires. It was something forced on all of them. In light of that, it's not hard to interpret the Card-Carrying Villain antics where they extol being Sabbat as a coping mechanism.

You know, I wish Alphabusa manage to make TTS video again because he would probably have tons of funs trying to explain how the squats manage to get out the retconium and everyone just planing forgetting they were there somehow.

Would require GW to not have their head stuck deeply in their own ass. So that's unlikely to ever happen.

Premiere of a new Hunter:The Parenting.

Also String Storm did a song about the Greatest of them All. [lol]

I'll be frank, I honestly was expecting Chapman to be completely unconnected to any of the supernatural groups, just for the comedy factor of Big-D being paranoid in overthinking the matter — at the very most, I entertained the possibility that he was actually affiliated to a Hunter group. If only I had caught on to his line about respecting titles like "Great and Mighty Kevin" at the very beginning being entirely incongruent with British police training and protocol, instead being a dead giveaway that he's a ghouled agent of the Camarilla, which one of the comments pointed out.

I just listened to new audiolog with Big-D's favorite son - horse named Horse. It was interesting. And, makes me wonder if D knows what exactly is wrong with Horse.

I will become a great writer one day! Hopefully...

Courtesy Link: Something is Wrong with Horse - Hunter: The Parenting Audiologs

The family tend to sixth member of their family, Horse, Big-D's third and clearly most favouritest son, whom has fallen ill with some mysterious affliction.

Since Horse is a horse, the dialogue gets quite one-sided as each and every single family member comes out, tends to him and speaks to him like a bunch of freaks talking to a horse (that is to say any horse owner).

Dressed like Malcador? How?

And what are you referring to as "in the trees"?

According to a vet I've talked to, Horses can't vomit blood. They don't have the parts to be able to do so.

So Horse... isn't a horse.

[up][up][up] In the thumbnail, Horse is depicted rather similar to Malcador (the hood/blanket)

and something is quite obviously moving in the trees top left of the barn.

[up][up] little detail I noticed: after boy notices that the bloodsplatter looks like a drawibg Horse does not vomit blood but pours it.

Could what Kitten killed be somethign else than a vampire? We've seen vampires shrug off grievious wounds, so i doubt simply being impaled would kill one, and they only disintegrate if exposed to sunlight. Kitten also specifically mentions it was an old iron fence... anyone knowledgeable about oWoD can tell me if faeries can be cannibals?

Unfortunately Changeling was always one of my least liked lines in oWoD so I can't honestly say.

That said, Horse's ramblings are worded vaguely enough that he references multiple game lines at once.

See how he uses the word Oracle — which is both a Hunter term and a Mage term, and they refer to two different things entirely.

He speaks of Gehenna.

Some friends of mine think Horse is possessed by a Fallen.

I mean, yeah, it's referencing Wyrmwood/The Red Star/Gehenna, but the parts of the prophecy can also refer to the individual family members' eventual fates too.

I mean, like, there's so SO many ways to interpret, for example, "Of Two, One Falls... One rises" or "The Patriarch, in mastering Luna, ends harmstrung"

Falling on to an iron fence could inflict Final Death on a Vampire if it actually destroyed the heart as opposed to "just" impaling it (that just causes the Torpor paralysis).

Davies fading into dust implies that he was actually turned quite a while ago since Final Death simply reverts the vampire's body to what it would have been if it was a human corpse affected by the passage of time.

Oh yeah the annoying tendecy of world of darkness having a term meaning multiple things at onces.

Just have to ask how many abyss are in Owod.

To be fair, that's realistic. Just look at how "potato chips" mean very different kinds of potato-based food in the UK and the US, and that's just within the same language; now consider all the loanwords that have gained or were given wildly diffferent meanings from the original ones.

Wo D lore is silly cos every once in a while a big time lore term is dropped and its just a hebrew word.

Like what does "Elohim" in the horse's speech refer to? its just hebrew for "God" (yes, that one)
