A fandom thread for a show that doesn't exist.

This episode revealed quite a lot about those Bedford Security Solutions guys. They're a rival mercenary group specializing in "extraterrestrial research." If Vike and Princeton's appearance is any indication, either BSS is the Menace under a different flag or BSS took in the remaining members of the Menace after they disbanded.

~MisterTambourineMan, did you mean to write an episode synopsis in your last post? Because I'm not seeing it.

Yeah people say that the "BSS is the Menace" theory is dead but I really think they're ramping it up with these new eps.

Also I've gotta point out that the manga chapter equivalent of this episode had one of the BSS armor guys speak with Zira's typeface. People are always telling me that its an AU and its not consistent but this is the first time EVER that a main character's typeface has been used for another character so I'm like 99% sure that guy in the helmet is Zira

Oh, I remember that show!, that would be that one that is talked about because they mention some quotes from John Milton and it almost ended banned in Spain?

I had no clue this show almost got banned in Spain. I heard rumors that the last season was supposed to have an arc set there, but it got canned, and now that you mention it those John Milton references probably had something to do with it.

In other news, I finally got around to watching yesterday's episode, "Can't Have Jack in Detroit". This episode involves Jack leading the Fresh Meat Gang heading to Detroit for some weapons and equipment OSP; they'll be fighting a bunch of training robots using only whatever they can find in their cordoned-off area of Detroit as weapons. The new guys, clearly taking notes from their last mission with JUNCTION, try to work on their coordination skills. Emphasis on "try."

The mission doesn't take too long. But when Sandy and Co. try to report back to Jack, he's nowhere to be found! As it turns out, the Bedford Security Solutions guys kidnapped him, and Sandy, Randi and Candie spend the rest of the episode fighting to pry Jack from their claws.

It's important to mention how much this show is taking advantage of being fully 3D animated now. That scene where Randi uses a stop sign to beat up BSS in the Renaissance Center is not something you would've seen in, say, season five.

Sorry about that, it seems I accidentally put up my last post well before it was ready.

The new one-off special where David time travels to meet Isaac Newton was interesting, though very different from the majority of episodes in the series, but did they forget Cann's husband was already named Isaac??? Sure, they were a minor character but having two Isaacs is gonna be confusing!

Bro Cann got MARRIED?!?! WHEN?!?!?!?

I mean, I lowkey shipped it for a week...

Cann x Newton ship when

Like, I knew that Cann got married to Philomena so he could have a beard, but when did he remarry?

I believe it was in the movie.

Anyone catch up on yesterday's episode?

Please note that I made the choice to have this season be episodic so that it wouldn't feel like the same person was carrying the thread in the terms of episode descriptions.

I just saw it.

Debra and Mattias travelled to Springfield, Illinois to check out the Wanderin' John Historical Society, as they have some of his writings on file, but they get stonewalled by one particular member of the WJHS.

The rookie trio come to the same city to look into a series of alien sightings. Candi theorizes that the alien isn't really malicious as it keeps avoiding people and hasn't attacked anyone. Sandy suggests that it's up to something nefarious and just being sneaky. Randy thinks both of them should reserve judgement until they know more.

At the climax of the episode, they corner the alien... And it's the woman from the WJHS who's been causing trouble for Debra. She burns down the WJHS building, and seemingly intentionally gets herself caught by BSS agents.

It's a rare case of Team Rocket Wins on this show.

No episode this week for MLK Day, but we did just get a preview of next week's episode. It looks like the gang is going to be meeting archmage Lysithea in Boston.

Huh. Is that a Three Houses reference? Nice of them to include that.

Wouldn't be surprised if that is why she's named lysithea.

the recent episode... Felt like this image.

(laughing at the context of Suki Giving the orders to Kill someone in a sympathetic voice to a already bored "Black-out")

Guys, I'm new in this fandom. My mom asked me to watch it, but I have no idea where to start.

Can you guys suggest to me which episodes I should watch first?

Smth smth start from the Russia Arc in Season 2 and work your up from there.

In relation to Monday's episode, yeah, none of the new guys were prepared to commit an assassination. I mean, the guy was swarming with Etnes parasites but still.

Also, the official Twitter issued an apology for the long hiatus. They weren't expecting the weekly schedule to be so disliked, so they took a few months off to rethink their game plan. Episodes will return March 25th, on the old Monday and Thursday air schedule.

Good to see them taking initiative again. I’ve been binging old episodes, like that Breather Episode where Karl finds out that Lydia plays dating sims. It even referenced a gam I like.

Gotta say, the animation received a phenomenal bump this week. The reveal of the final Vulcan Technique looked amazing. We even got an actual volcano!

Monday's episode was great. I like how this was the first we've seen Kathleen since Lemonade Arc and she decides to reintroduce herself by going "It's Kathleenin' Time!" and Kathleening so hard she breaks the Orb of Good Tidings. brilliant job, shawty

In all seriousness, I really did like this episode. Kathleen trying (and failing) to adjust to the changes in the Quarters' operations was very entertaining.

it has noticed me that the Pilot was very weird like:

would you tell me show has this vibe...

And later has this vibe?

and later on this?

So I'm new to this show and wanted to ask, do you need to have read the spinoff novel: "With friends like these, the Isaac Story" to fully understand the plot?

Dude, I completely forgot that book existed, which probably tells you everything you need to know about its plot relevance.

The novels are nothing more than side stories. Some of them are novelizations of the show, while others are completely original stories. You don't have to read them if you don't want to. That said, a lot of them are great. The novelization of Archon's Gate was spectacular, and The JUNCTION Journals is a series of neat little insights into the minds of each of the JUNCTION members before and during the whole Orator Stone debacle.
