Jenny and Ted discuss Hive5.3.
Episode Notes:
- Jenny thinks this could be the worst chapter of Worm for her, but just wait one episode!
- The world of Worm has a state-sanctioned violence problem
- ACAB (all capes, especially Shadow Stalker, are bastards)
- Taylor, don't become a cop!
- What if this chapter is a microcosm of the novel and Jenny's gonna be this mad the whole time??
- Theories on Emma the superpowered puppetmaster
- If only Taylor were a worse person, she'd be so much better at this
- You know what might make Taylor a permanent Undersider? Emma joining the Wards
- The system loves Emma, because the system is not good
- Assault and Battery: not siblings, not dating, but a secret third thing??
- Taylor learns that nobody is special
- People don't want the real story, because they like their heroes
- Every time we see Danny, we just love him more
- Danny values people over rules
- Does Alan know about Emma?
- The problems with hero worship
- Battery is a cool cape name...Assault, not so much
- The war on Taylor begins
- Reality doesn't matter. Only appearances matter. Taylor's not so good at appearances.
- Who turned Massachusetts upside down??
- Jenny already wants to burn all the heroes to the ground. Uh-oh
- Jenny starts on her evilness rankings. Apparently Emma is worse than Purity
- Is this conclusively not YA yet?
- Where could things go from here?
- Oops, we had more to say! An ACAB addendum
