00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:16.179
Welcome to Shoujo, an anime podcast where I,

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.719
Sarah, introduce my good friend Joe to anime

00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.600
from the Shoujo genre. We're currently covering

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.300
the Rose of Versailles, and this week we're discussing

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:29.059
episodes 31 through 33. But before we jump into

00:00:29.059 --> 00:00:32.869
the drama, of the show. Let's catch up. Joe,

00:00:33.630 --> 00:00:38.810
what have you been up to? Yesterday, I so I've

00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:41.270
been showing my friends all of the Matrix movies

00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:43.310
because they have not seen all of them. And I

00:00:43.310 --> 00:00:45.969
like all of them. So I've been showing them them.

00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:50.530
And yesterday was the culmination in the Matrix

00:00:50.530 --> 00:00:56.109
four. Is that the new one? Resurrection. That's

00:00:56.109 --> 00:00:58.740
what it's called. Yes, that is the new one. a

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:02.460
movie that seems to not enjoy its own existence

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:08.239
in a way that I find very fun, but not everybody

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.000
else loved as much as me. Bang. Bang. Stupid

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.359
fly in my apartment. Sorry. OK, now that's going

00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.099
to be distracting. But that brings that little

00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:24.040
exercise to a close, which is good. And no, it's

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.840
just good. I think it's fine. Yeah, so that's

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.799
been fun. I'm trying to think of what else that

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.719
I've done that's been noteworthy. The whole week's

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.819
a blur. I'll throw it back to you while I think

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:40.579
of more things. So I as soon as I heard this,

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:43.359
I was like, oh, my God, I must tell Joe. So I've

00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.599
been I've been sitting on this. And so I was

00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.959
at my mom's place and we were like talking about

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.159
my sister's wedding and stuff. My sister was

00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.680
there. We were planning like the or getting.

00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:59.439
the trip booked for her bachelorette trip and

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.700
she and she brought up a concern she had that

00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:08.060
um because her fiance wants i think it's like

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:11.780
an uncle or something to be the what's the person

00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:18.860
the person who marries them uh yeah yeah um and

00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:21.259
he's done like other weddings in the families

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:27.120
before but she told us that he has an eye condition

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.580
that has worsened recently and that he now wears

00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:35.580
an eye patch. Oh, wow. And she's like, I don't

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:38.639
know if I want a guy with an eye patch officiating

00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.560
my wedding, but like, you know, her fiance like

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.539
really wants it to happen. And it's like, oh,

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.379
but what about the photos and this and that?

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:51.259
And I'm like, no, this is going to be sick. You

00:02:51.259 --> 00:02:53.780
should definitely have him do it and let him

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:57.099
keep the eye patch on. That'd be so fun. That'd

00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:59.360
be awesome. Yeah, that's really interesting.

00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:08.520
So good. Oh, man. Let's see. What? I guess I'll

00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.939
just do my. Yeah, same been playing Monster Hunter.

00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:14.139
I haven't been gaming that much. I've been rewatching

00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:19.860
Survivor, like I mentioned, and. But now on Tuesday,

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:23.819
Patch 8 of Baldur's Gate 3 comes out, which introduces

00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:26.039
a bunch of new subclasses and this and that.

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.960
And I have multiple different groups of people

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.560
who are like, oh, yeah, we should play that.

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.460
And I've, you know, up to this point, I've been

00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.669
like, oh, yeah. Yeah, you know, like whenever

00:03:37.669 --> 00:03:40.930
that comes out thinking I had more time before

00:03:40.930 --> 00:03:43.990
this happens, because now I'm like, oh God, I

00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:48.409
haven't finished Monster Hunter. You have witnessed

00:03:48.409 --> 00:03:51.270
what trying to play this game with me is like.

00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:53.189
There's just no way you're going to be able to

00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:56.909
do a multi -person playthrough. The scheduling

00:03:56.909 --> 00:03:59.930
alone will be will be killer. Yeah, we'll just

00:03:59.930 --> 00:04:05.349
have to see how it goes. Yeah, so that's a thing

00:04:05.349 --> 00:04:11.610
on the horizon. I'm trying to think of anything

00:04:11.610 --> 00:04:14.830
else of note is happening in my life. I feel

00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:18.529
like it has not been very exciting lately. I

00:04:18.529 --> 00:04:22.610
got a new pillow. Your new pillow? Yes. Well,

00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:27.189
I just got it in the mail today and fluffed it.

00:04:27.670 --> 00:04:30.629
And so I'll try it tonight and see how it is.

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.899
I just have terrible quality of sleep and, but

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:38.199
also it's, I don't know. Yeah. It's, here's hoping,

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.100
as I do with all my impulse purchases late at

00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:45.100
night, that this one little purchase is going

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:50.079
to change my life for the better somehow. Oh

00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.839
man. Speaking of buying stuff, I've been like

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.439
- Yes. I have been like, should I buy a dedicated

00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.180
MP3 player or music? Was it DAP? Did I talk about

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:01.360
this last time? I feel like I talk about this

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.120
all the time with a bunch of people. And I feel

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.959
like I just have the same conversation over and

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.839
over and over again. What do you mean? I got.

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:15.180
What are those? There's like a type of earbud

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:19.360
or whatever that's like they use for like audio

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.160
testing. You can buy them very cheaply anyway,

00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.180
so I got that and Now I'm like, ooh This is this

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.980
is wired. This is a wired thing That I have and

00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:34.360
that doesn't really go into my phone anymore.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.639
Like your phone doesn't know doesn't have a jack

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.399
anymore So I of course I'm like what if I got

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.920
like a you know Like just like an mp3 player

00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.639
that I could just have and I could just dump

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.980
a bunch of music on it listen to it whatever

00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:50.120
I want and And there is a market for that and

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.379
it is extremely expensive. It's so intense. In

00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:55.939
terms of like all the different things you can

00:05:55.939 --> 00:06:00.720
get. Yeah, but they make those, but they're like

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.779
audio file things, right? So there's like all

00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:04.540
these different brands and they can range from

00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:09.339
costing like, you know, $40 to like a thousand

00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:13.540
dollars or like $2 ,000. It's wild. The like

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:20.139
extent. that you can go like hard on whatever.

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.680
So the thing I got was an in -ear monitor is

00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.860
what they're called. So they're IEMs and they

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:28.300
sound good because they have like all the different

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:30.040
frequencies and they're wired. So they're like

00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.399
intense. But I'm like not an audiophile guy.

00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:36.459
So I like don't really understand And every time

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.220
I go to these websites because I'm like, what's

00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.800
a good like entry level model to get read it

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.839
and it's like I'll go to these websites and they're

00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.639
showing me like the circuit diagrams of like

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.959
the audio processor and I'm like, wow, this means

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.240
absolutely nothing to me What is any of this

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.620
stuff so I have been I've been having and of

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:55.720
course I'm doing this because I'm like well What

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.180
if tariffs happen they may never happen because

00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:00.399
they seem to be just doing whatever they want

00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.899
now electronics are Not included, but they're

00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:06.100
gonna be included later who knows so I keep being

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.720
like I need to get this now Maybe but also maybe

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.699
I don't need to get this now. I don't know But

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:13.620
mostly I just want to stop using Spotify. I'm

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:16.740
tired of it. I'm sick of Spotify The quality's

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:19.379
gone down. Their, like, recommendation stuff

00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:21.319
is not as good. I don't like all their little

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.019
AI -generated names of stuff. It's annoying to

00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:26.579
me. It doesn't... I know it doesn't, like, pay

00:07:26.579 --> 00:07:28.319
artists anything, so it's not like I'm helping

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.339
them at all by using this. So, yeah, I'm sick

00:07:31.339 --> 00:07:33.680
of it. I'm tired of using services. I want to

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.120
have... I want to have everything... ...locally.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.699
That's right. Yeah, I just only use Spotify for,

00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:48.930
like... specific like what I know I want to listen.

00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:52.189
I basically I just like songs that I know and

00:07:52.189 --> 00:07:55.089
then just shuffle through the thousands of songs

00:07:55.089 --> 00:08:00.290
I have on my light songs. I don't have like recommendations

00:08:00.290 --> 00:08:05.529
or anything like that, really. But and then you

00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:09.610
get ads for Amazon music or whatever. And it's

00:08:09.610 --> 00:08:15.199
like one ad free podcast and like, well. Amazon

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.939
video isn't ad free anymore, so I'm like, surely

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:21.579
the Amazon music app will also have ads sometime

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:25.139
soon. Right. Yeah. I feel like it doesn't have

00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:30.040
very good ratings. But yeah, I know I used to

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.000
I used to do the whole iTunes thing because I

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.000
was like because on campus it was like, if you're

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.950
caught hiring music. You'll be in big, big trouble.

00:08:41.250 --> 00:08:45.669
And I was like, oh, no. I'll just buy my song

00:08:45.669 --> 00:08:48.769
through iTunes. I can't get in trouble. Oh, man.

00:08:49.649 --> 00:08:58.480
Yes. Yeah. Scary. Well, yeah. But yeah, so like,

00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:00.120
it's just been a lot of that. It's been a lot

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.000
of like, I don't want to use any services anymore.

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.600
I got this Plex server that I've been setting

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.600
up, but it's like, I usually like to buy Blu

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.600
-rays. People don't even release Blu -rays anymore

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.340
and stuff like that. I'm just like, dang, I don't

00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:14.159
know. You know what also is annoying to me? I

00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.639
can't find a good way to like host or to have

00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.100
ebooks. Like I don't have any, like there's all

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.700
these different ebook readers. I know people

00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:26.500
like like all this stuff, but like Amazon has

00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:29.080
just kind of locked down all of the stuff with

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.799
Kindle so I don't really want to get a Kindle

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.320
but then there's like all these other ones that

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.120
are like very it's the same kind of thing where

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.399
it's like there's if I look for an e -reader

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.600
it's gonna like give me the specs in like a way

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.159
I don't understand or it's gonna like do all

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.700
this stuff that I'm just gonna say all these

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:46.539
things about like ooh this is the different lighting

00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:48.120
options here's all this other stuff and I'm just

00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.659
like what are you talking about and also like

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:54.320
where do you even get ebooks? I feel like it's

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.139
not easy. You think this would be incredibly

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:58.419
easy, like an electronic version of a book. How

00:09:58.419 --> 00:10:00.039
hard can that be? But it's like you got to go

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.740
to all these marketplaces may have all these

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.360
proprietary things you got to read from. So it's

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.279
like, where do I buy this stuff from? I think

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.200
bookshop now does it, but I don't know how they

00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.720
do it. Because like I'm running out of book case

00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.059
storage. I can't keep buying physical books.

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:22.470
You just start having just hoarder. Turn into

00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:25.090
a book hoarder. I'm trying to read more books,

00:10:25.090 --> 00:10:26.669
but I'm trying to be like, how do I do that?

00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:28.389
And it's like, you know, try to get them for

00:10:28.389 --> 00:10:30.250
the library. They have all those weird stuff

00:10:30.250 --> 00:10:33.529
around it. It's just like it's constant. It's

00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:35.230
terrible. The easiest thing, the thing that should

00:10:35.230 --> 00:10:38.549
be the easiest to get is somehow the most complicated

00:10:38.549 --> 00:10:41.389
one. Like how hard should it be to get a PDF?

00:10:41.570 --> 00:10:42.929
It should not be hard. It should be incredibly

00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:47.230
easy. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I guess I haven't

00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:50.370
been reading outside manga as much lately, but

00:10:50.370 --> 00:10:54.419
I like. Don't there's only select books that

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:57.840
I actually keep most of them all just after I've

00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.159
read them I'll just either Give them to someone

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.700
I recommend it to and then it's their problem

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:10.360
to deal with the physical book but yeah, I Yeah,

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.279
I've already got I'm already at past capacity

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:19.279
on the bookshelf situation Yeah, and I'm now

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.710
I'm doing the new collecting which is just vinyl

00:11:23.710 --> 00:11:27.750
records, which are so expensive. Why are they

00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:32.570
so expensive? But I got last week or maybe like

00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:35.929
two weeks ago, I got Linkin Park's Meteora album,

00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:38.789
and then I got Evanescence, whichever the one

00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:43.809
with like Wake Me Up and stuff is. So I just

00:11:43.809 --> 00:11:48.970
like collecting things, I guess. But I have systems.

00:11:49.250 --> 00:11:52.960
It's not like hoarding up to the walls and creepy

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.820
dolls I collect, you know, it's it's organized

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:58.320
and yeah, I don't know. And then no one's here

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.539
to appreciate my sweet collections. It's just

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:06.779
me. Right. I'm just impressing myself. I did

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:08.659
recently just watch a movie starring dinosaurs.

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:09.899
I don't know if we should talk about that. I

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:12.179
guess we shouldn't. Are we talking about the

00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:13.940
one we're recording tomorrow? We're going to

00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:18.419
be recording a bonus episode. Yeah. On the second

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:20.860
Jurassic Park movie. Yeah. That is not called

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:26.179
Jurassic Park 2. Well, I wish they just wouldn't

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:29.100
have called it Jurassic Park 3. You got like.

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.440
Oh, but you're always like about the you're always

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.159
about the titles being like, I don't like these

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.580
titles that are complicated. Well, either. Well,

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.820
like either it's one thing or another, but like

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:44.139
if it. But the lost world came out first. So

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:47.360
that setting the standard that shouldn't then

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.860
become JP three. Like you got it right. Because

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.740
like Jurassic World isn't like that either. So

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.159
Jurassic Park three is the outlier of having

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.240
a number. Yeah, it's the worst one ever. And

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.600
there's someone I know right now who are the

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.549
person I went to the. movie on the lake thing

00:13:06.549 --> 00:13:08.450
and we watched the first movie and they're like,

00:13:08.669 --> 00:13:10.990
oh yeah, I remember Jurassic Park 3 being my

00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:13.710
favorite. I was like, have you watched that recently?

00:13:14.309 --> 00:13:16.389
I would like you to rewatch it and then come

00:13:16.389 --> 00:13:19.470
back to me. It's like that's still the best.

00:13:19.570 --> 00:13:22.210
I do feel like the naming convention for Jurassic

00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:24.669
Park 2 is weird because it's the lost world colon

00:13:24.669 --> 00:13:27.590
Jurassic Park, which is like you're putting the

00:13:27.590 --> 00:13:30.460
the series. on the right side of the colon, instead

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:32.379
of the left side. All of the Jurassic World,

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.559
it's like Jurassic World, colon, dominion, or

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.860
whatever. So like none of them follow the same

00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:41.220
pattern. I guess in Michael Crichton's, well,

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.879
the movie might be different than the book, but

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.080
it wasn't planned that there was going to be

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.419
a sequel. It's supposed to just be one book.

00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.980
But then when Steven Spielberg is like, hey,

00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:53.059
my guy, I want to make another one of these movies.

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:54.840
Can you make another book that I can base it

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.759
off? You can't say no. The Steven Spielberg.

00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.620
Yeah, you can definitely tell. But then you scramble.

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:02.960
That it was not supposed to have a sequel in

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.259
Jurassic Park 2, a movie that I would argue doesn't

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:06.980
have a plot. Well, even the movie is very different.

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:10.480
So, but we'll talk about that later. OK. Oh,

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.120
my God. We'll talk about this. No, just wait

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.820
till we watch JP3. What? Oh, I'm going to be

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:19.600
horrified if you like it more than the second

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.259
one. OK. All right. I don't know anything about

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:24.960
three. I feel like I watched it a lot because

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.529
I had it on like DVD or VHS or something. So

00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:30.649
I've seen that one more than two. I don't think

00:14:30.649 --> 00:14:32.230
I've ever like I don't remember anything about

00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:34.870
tail So we'll see we'll see what we feel about

00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:39.009
that But also in terms of bonus episodes because

00:14:39.009 --> 00:14:42.970
you know, I do now have all of the Rosa Versailles

00:14:42.970 --> 00:14:47.470
manga Viz offers a thing we can read all the

00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:49.990
key. Maybe we'll start banging out some of the

00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:52.330
the manga versions of stuff that we've watched

00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:57.720
so far so you have enough of a You have community,

00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.899
okay? Viz has that as part of their subscription

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:02.899
thing, so it's like three bucks a month or something,

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.279
so you could probably just bang through that.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.759
You're using bang a lot in the last two minutes.

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.460
That's because it's... Bang it out. That's right.

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.059
Just banging it out. We're doing that. Oh, goodness.

00:15:16.059 --> 00:15:19.720
I don't know. It just happens. Listen, some stuff

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.580
explodes these episodes, so I've been thinking

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:26.200
about explosions. Oh, dang. Ah, yes. Yeah, I

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.039
guess on that note should we? Talk about I feel

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.139
like there's some other stuff that I had to say

00:15:32.139 --> 00:15:35.279
I was thinking too hard about all the different

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.000
things No, I was really hoping to finish gears

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.039
tactics by now, but I saw like two missions left.

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.940
So rip to that. Well, well, stay tuned, folks.

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:48.899
Well, we'll get to the end of my evaluation of

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:51.860
the Gears of War franchise. But yeah. All right.

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:56.960
Let's go into it then. Okie dokie. So episode

00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.340
31 of the Rose of Versailles is called Lilacs

00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:02.440
Bloom in the Barracks. I believe Lilacs is the

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.539
metaphor we're using for men. Yes. Right. Yeah.

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.879
Yeah. Disappointing. I was like, I don't know,

00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.980
the title implied that it was just going to be

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:16.879
like we're shutting down being a lady all together.

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:19.950
But I guess that's what Oscar said. That's what

00:16:19.950 --> 00:16:21.409
she said she was going to do. Let's see what

00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:23.429
happens. We haven't even gotten to that. Let's

00:16:23.429 --> 00:16:26.210
see what happens in this episode. We open on

00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:28.289
a bakery being looted as the narrator tells us

00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:31.129
that bakeries are being looted all around Paris.

00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:35.470
Lawlessness is breaking out as heavy taxes fall

00:16:35.470 --> 00:16:39.269
upon the commoners. The younger generation has

00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:42.909
begun engaging in terrorism to fight back, especially

00:16:42.909 --> 00:16:45.269
guys like Saint -Just, our favorite little terrorist

00:16:45.269 --> 00:16:49.850
guy. Saint -Just. Yeah, Saint -Just. We also

00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:52.690
learned that Oscar has been in her new post for

00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:56.470
only a month as the OP plays. We return to get

00:16:56.470 --> 00:16:58.950
a scene where Alon's sister brings him some fresh

00:16:58.950 --> 00:17:00.909
laundry. He gives her a new batch of clothes

00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:03.070
to wash along with his earnings for the month

00:17:03.070 --> 00:17:05.369
so that they can buy their mother's medicine

00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:07.769
because moms are sick. If you're a commoner,

00:17:07.849 --> 00:17:11.789
your mom is sick. 100%. All the boys at the barracks

00:17:11.789 --> 00:17:13.710
love Alon's sister and think that she's very

00:17:13.710 --> 00:17:15.869
cute. They all want to date her, but are too

00:17:15.869 --> 00:17:21.410
afraid of Alon. There's a guy who, like, rips

00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:24.609
his nose hair out while they're talking. It's

00:17:24.609 --> 00:17:28.710
disgusting. Why would you do that? You don't

00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:31.109
think they're good enough to bury Diane, Elan's

00:17:31.109 --> 00:17:33.210
sister? No, I've got more to say about her in

00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:36.069
a bit. Okay. While leaving, Oscar runs into Elan

00:17:36.069 --> 00:17:38.950
and his sister, who's named Diane. She greets

00:17:38.950 --> 00:17:40.650
them, and everybody has a good time, because

00:17:40.650 --> 00:17:42.349
we're all on good terms with each other now.

00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:48.299
Everybody's friends. Oscar goes to her office

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:51.559
to find General Buell. She apologizes for her

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.140
stunt at the marriage ball last episode because

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:55.759
he was hosting that ball, so I guess she was

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.200
kind of insulting him by doing all that. Buell's

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:59.640
like, ah, it's cool. Like, I'm friends with your

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.380
dad. We get it. You know, whatever. That's also

00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:04.660
not why I'm here. He says he's here for work.

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:06.779
And then he explains that he needs her troops

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:10.519
to guard Duke Ardellos from Spain while he's

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.740
here on a goodwill trip. Oscar is like, shouldn't

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:17.460
the royal guard deal with like... Guarding emissaries

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:19.440
and stuff like that, but well tells her that

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.339
they're too busy and no other commander knows

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:24.200
how to handle Royals properly, but her so she

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.299
has to do it We cut to a troop lineup where Oscar

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:29.619
tells everybody what the job is while explaining

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:32.359
What the job is she sees a soldier without a

00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.819
rifle. She's like, hey Soldier, where's your

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:37.559
rifle? And he's like, oh, I don't know and she's

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.450
like you don't know You're in the royal you're

00:18:40.450 --> 00:18:42.569
the French Guard like your rifle is your most

00:18:42.569 --> 00:18:45.049
valuable possession They execute people for losing

00:18:45.049 --> 00:18:46.829
their rifle you need to figure out where your

00:18:46.829 --> 00:18:49.470
rifle is But he just apologizes and says that

00:18:49.470 --> 00:18:51.589
he really just doesn't know where he left it

00:18:51.589 --> 00:18:54.289
And I guess he'll just have to be punished and

00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:56.769
she's like, okay. What's your name? And he says

00:18:56.769 --> 00:19:00.309
his name is Lazare, and she tells her lieutenant

00:19:00.309 --> 00:19:03.109
to find Lazare another rifle as Elan looks on.

00:19:03.329 --> 00:19:05.329
They ride out to guard the Duke's procession.

00:19:05.650 --> 00:19:07.670
She's got a lot of guys, but there is also like

00:19:07.670 --> 00:19:09.430
a lot of different angles that terrorists could

00:19:09.430 --> 00:19:10.769
attack from because they're just going out to

00:19:10.769 --> 00:19:13.690
the countryside. So she splits her troops into

00:19:13.690 --> 00:19:16.450
two columns and start patrolling the area. Elsewhere,

00:19:16.609 --> 00:19:18.269
Sanjist is planning to kill the Duke and his

00:19:18.269 --> 00:19:19.869
family. He's like, we're going to kill them all

00:19:19.869 --> 00:19:22.119
because the shock factor... of the murder will

00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:23.960
discredit the monarchy and further the cause

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.859
of revolution in some vague way. His underlings

00:19:27.859 --> 00:19:29.319
tell him that the Duke's procession has moved

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.000
out, but they're under heavy protection from

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.539
the French Guard. So maybe we shouldn't do this.

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.160
But Sanjus is like, hey, don't worry about it,

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:38.839
man. I've got an inside man in the guard. He's

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.859
going to he's going to get us in. Can we talk

00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:46.400
about St. Just has very pretty eyelashes. Yeah,

00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.180
pretty boy. He's a pretty guy. He does like a

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:51.420
whole ass Phantom of the Opera thing later in

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:55.920
this episode. Oh, yeah. Mm hmm. It's pretty good.

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:59.579
Yep. We cut back to Oscar and Company B. They

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:01.920
reach a chateau out in the fields that I guess

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.359
is abandoned. I don't know what this is or why

00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.319
they're checking it out, but they check it out.

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:09.700
Oscar takes Andre to lawn to search it with her

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:11.839
while the rest of her men are to stay behind

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.829
and keep watch. We cut back to Sanjus riding

00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:17.430
to the duke's procession. He tells his guys that

00:20:17.430 --> 00:20:19.690
the spy is supposed to kill his commander and

00:20:19.690 --> 00:20:24.589
create confusion so Oscar is gonna Is under death

00:20:24.589 --> 00:20:26.809
threat again back at company B. We see a big

00:20:26.809 --> 00:20:29.849
guy We see the big guy who dueled Oscar like

00:20:29.849 --> 00:20:33.539
a couple episodes ago walk to the chateau Inside,

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:35.619
Oscar, Andre and Alon have split up to search

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:38.859
for clues and Oscar is going up one of the towers.

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.059
Suddenly, the big guy comes up from behind her

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:42.920
and she's like, hey, man, I told you to stay

00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.019
back there. But he's like, I'm here to help you.

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.200
And she's like, whatever, and continues to search

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.859
because she is not on guard at all. No, she should

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:54.069
know better. It's embarrassing. She walks out

00:20:54.069 --> 00:20:55.890
to the balcony when suddenly the big guy points

00:20:55.890 --> 00:20:58.609
his rifle at her. He's like, haha, I wasn't actually

00:20:58.609 --> 00:21:01.890
here to help you. I'm a spy. And Oscar is like,

00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:04.170
you're a spy? How could I have known this would

00:21:04.170 --> 00:21:07.029
happen after you defied orders and I just didn't

00:21:07.029 --> 00:21:11.049
care. He fires at her, but unfortunately for

00:21:11.049 --> 00:21:13.549
him, this isn't her first quick draw. She dives

00:21:13.549 --> 00:21:15.269
out of the way to avoid the shot while shooting

00:21:15.269 --> 00:21:17.730
him in the shoulder with her pistol. He's left

00:21:17.730 --> 00:21:20.029
with just a knife in his offhand and he tries

00:21:20.029 --> 00:21:23.230
to stab Oscar, but like, She can easily get around

00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:25.990
him. This is not really a threat to her. Yeah.

00:21:26.150 --> 00:21:28.789
Speaking of the Matrix, this is some Matrix stuff

00:21:28.789 --> 00:21:31.829
here when she did the dodge. This is great. I

00:21:31.829 --> 00:21:33.910
love Oscar just being like, I've been in a duel

00:21:33.910 --> 00:21:36.250
before. I know how to get out of the way. She

00:21:36.250 --> 00:21:38.349
tells this guy to surrender so she can interrogate

00:21:38.349 --> 00:21:40.630
him, but he does not because he says he's committed

00:21:40.630 --> 00:21:44.109
to the cause with his life. Just then, Andre

00:21:44.109 --> 00:21:46.250
and Oscar rush to a nearby balcony after they

00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:48.730
hear some commotion, and they see that Oscar's

00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:50.650
being attacked, and they shoot this big guy dead

00:21:50.650 --> 00:21:54.490
before Oscar can stop them. Outside, Sandjust

00:21:54.490 --> 00:21:57.210
and his crew realize that the spy has failed,

00:21:57.430 --> 00:21:58.869
but they're going to continue with their plan

00:21:58.869 --> 00:22:01.789
anyway, so don't worry about it. Later, Duke

00:22:01.789 --> 00:22:04.170
Ordelos arrives at the village of Hollincourt

00:22:04.170 --> 00:22:07.809
for the night. Company B stands in patrol. In

00:22:07.809 --> 00:22:09.789
the dark of the night, Andre and Alon are on

00:22:09.789 --> 00:22:12.140
patrol as they stop to take a break. Alain tells

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:14.400
André to give up on Oscar. She's an impressive

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.839
woman for sure, but she's also like clearly running

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:18.740
away from something. I don't know, man. Seems

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:20.720
like nothing but trouble. You'll get caught up

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:22.759
in it and maybe get injured. That would be bad

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:24.700
if you got injured being caught up in Oscar's

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:27.000
stuff, wouldn't it, André? And André's like,

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:31.880
I'm way ahead of you, man. Alain tosses his flask

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.180
at André, whose vision hasn't improved and he

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:36.180
misses the catch. Along goes and picks it up

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:38.019
and hands it to him, but he's like, You're really

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:39.740
going to commit your life to her, huh, Andre?

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:42.240
Does she even know about your eye, like your

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.400
vision's failing? And Andre says that she doesn't,

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:46.740
but don't tell her anything about it. Elsewhere,

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:49.180
Oscar is patrolling the grounds. Son just gives

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:52.359
the order. Sorry. Son just gives the order to

00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.140
his men to start the operation, and they shoot

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:58.720
arrows tied with dynamite at the Duke's parked

00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.220
carriage outside, and it causes an explosion

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:03.920
and a fire. Oscar rushes to the Duke's room to

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.079
find two of her guards that are standing watch

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.059
dead, and she rushes into the actual room that

00:23:09.059 --> 00:23:11.500
the Duke is in and sees Son just in a mask moments

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.940
away from stabbing the Duke and his family. This

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:15.480
is like where the Phantom of the Opera thing

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.759
happens, because he like puts on a mask and then

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.579
like rides down a rope and then like rushes in.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.920
It's like ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah. We can still

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:27.599
see his beautiful eyes through the mask. That's

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.259
right. We can. San just sees Oscar and makes

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:32.779
a break for it. He runs away and mounts his horse,

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.799
along with some of his goons. Alon and Andre

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.359
show up with a horse, and they pick Oscar up,

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:41.900
and the three of them ride in pursuit. San just

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:43.359
sees that it's just three of them, and orders

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.240
his men to shoot dynamite at them, and they do,

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.480
which blows up everything in front of them, throwing

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.359
them from their horses, and then knocking them

00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:51.819
all out. We see a pass out, Oscar, Andre, and

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:55.019
Alon lying on the grass as the sun rises. Along

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:56.839
gets up first and sees Oscar and Andre lying

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.960
on the ground. Oscar's, no, Andre's hand is grasping

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:02.640
Oscar's wrist and he laughs and tells Andre to

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.839
do his best and then starts doing some stretches

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.920
as Andre and Oscar both wake up. I love a lot.

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.460
He's ridiculous. Yeah, I'm glad the horses didn't

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:14.960
get hurt. They were all totally fine. Yeah, they

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.880
just got thrown. I think they like must have

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.819
shot like in front of them. So it's just like.

00:24:18.910 --> 00:24:22.049
spooked them all and the the dynamite situation

00:24:22.049 --> 00:24:25.130
is crazy like it looks like a volcano going off

00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:28.329
massive explosions this seems like a very effective

00:24:28.329 --> 00:24:30.230
thing i'm surprised people are not doing this

00:24:30.230 --> 00:24:33.230
more uh back at the barracks general buwell congratulates

00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:36.650
oscar on protecting the duke uh however there's

00:24:36.650 --> 00:24:39.420
another matter to attend to One of his men shows

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:41.720
her a rifle. The general says that this gun was

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.200
found in a pawn shop. The serial number indicates

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.420
that it's from her company and Oscar immediately

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:48.660
thinks of Lazaray. Remember that scene that was

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.539
out of place earlier? In the pouring rain. Three

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:53.880
cloaked military police come and seize Lazaray.

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:56.839
They place him under arrest. We cut to Oscar's

00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.000
office as Alon and Andre come in. Alon is like,

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:02.660
hey Oscar, what do you think if I had Andre marry

00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:05.039
my little sister? And Andre's like, what? But

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.210
Alon's like, hey, I'm doing a thing. Oscar, I

00:25:08.210 --> 00:25:12.250
knew he was going to do that. I knew I did. It

00:25:12.250 --> 00:25:14.250
was the earlier note where I was like, he's going

00:25:14.250 --> 00:25:15.890
to try and set him up with the sister when they're

00:25:15.890 --> 00:25:18.130
on the bridge. I was like, he's going to try

00:25:18.130 --> 00:25:21.910
and give him a different option because his sister

00:25:21.910 --> 00:25:25.869
is pretty. It's true. Oscar's like, I don't know

00:25:25.869 --> 00:25:27.549
what you're talking about. Andre's business is

00:25:27.549 --> 00:25:29.190
his own. So he's free to do whatever he wants.

00:25:29.569 --> 00:25:32.130
Alana is like there. See, see that, Andre? See,

00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:34.430
I knew it. She doesn't know anything about you.

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.960
She isn't piecing together anything. It's crazy.

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.019
So that means there's no need for you to stick

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:41.940
her neck out for her. Andre's like, OK, but even

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:43.839
if I'm not sticking my neck out for her, I still

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:47.279
don't think that she would have done this. But

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.720
Alon turns and orders Oscar outside, and she's

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.579
like, why? And he tells her that Lazaré was taken

00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:55.259
because she sold him out. She must have sold

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:56.859
him out. Otherwise, how would they know that

00:25:56.859 --> 00:26:00.460
he sold his rifle? Oster starts to object, but

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:03.220
Elan hits her and drags her outside. In the pouring

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:05.220
rain, Elan tells Oscar that he's disappointed

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:07.400
in her. He was just starting to like her. She

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.119
says that she didn't sell Lozare out, but he

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.359
doesn't believe her. He tosses her her sword

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.180
and says that they're going to duel. The two

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:17.799
of them unsheathe their swords as we cut to credits.

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.319
Very dramatic in the rain showdown at night.

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.480
Yeah, this is a good ending. Yes, you see how

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:28.839
much larger he is then. Oscar is a big dude.

00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:34.519
Yep. Big old dude. That's right. Yeah. So we're

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:38.319
in the barracks. So I'm just doing a little heist

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.220
that Oscar barely foils. Mm hmm. It's pretty

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:44.599
good. Yeah. Well, yeah, because basically this

00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.299
episode was very much depicting that Alon is

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:51.339
kind of in the little group now and they're all

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:54.380
getting along good and kind of in sync with their.

00:26:55.170 --> 00:27:00.230
Actions and then this happens. Yeah. And next

00:27:00.230 --> 00:27:03.990
episode's title is incredibly ominous. Yeah,

00:27:04.150 --> 00:27:07.289
I do. I do like the basically confirmation is

00:27:07.289 --> 00:27:09.430
episode that a lot is like a cool guy, essentially

00:27:09.430 --> 00:27:12.630
like he's not going to be like super weird. He's

00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:15.869
just like a fairly normal upstanding guy who

00:27:15.869 --> 00:27:20.630
likes his friends and his sister. I was worried

00:27:20.630 --> 00:27:24.990
because when they shot the guy trying to like

00:27:24.990 --> 00:27:27.569
assassinate Oscar. I was like, oh, she said,

00:27:27.910 --> 00:27:31.329
don't kill him. But if he's also in on this,

00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:34.130
then it makes sense to kill the guy so he can't

00:27:34.130 --> 00:27:38.470
squeal on who. So I was like, maybe he's like

00:27:38.470 --> 00:27:43.009
a part of it, too. Oh, I guess not. Yeah, I don't

00:27:43.009 --> 00:27:44.589
think the other represents normally bear that

00:27:44.589 --> 00:27:47.450
out at all. I was like when they shot him. I'm

00:27:47.450 --> 00:27:49.269
like, I don't know if I really want Andre with

00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:52.730
his eyes shooting that stuff. For real, he could

00:27:52.730 --> 00:27:56.470
have hit Oscar and then the amount of blood gushing

00:27:56.470 --> 00:27:59.109
out that guy's arm. I'm like, we do not see blood

00:27:59.109 --> 00:28:03.529
very much on this show. It's just going in that

00:28:03.529 --> 00:28:09.009
scene. That guy's messed up. Yeah, I'm pretty

00:28:09.009 --> 00:28:11.269
straightforward episode. I feel like again, we're

00:28:11.269 --> 00:28:13.569
planting flags. We're replanting flags, right?

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:15.609
We're going to we got the sister. She's in the

00:28:15.609 --> 00:28:18.769
mix now. We got. So I'm just doing some stuff.

00:28:18.869 --> 00:28:20.130
Not really sure how it's going to turn out, to

00:28:20.130 --> 00:28:24.490
be honest. I do I do enjoy a lot of being like,

00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:26.750
hey, man, I don't think you should be in the

00:28:26.750 --> 00:28:29.529
Oscar. The vibes seem bad. But then Andre is

00:28:29.529 --> 00:28:31.730
like, no, I'm doing it. And Alon's like, all

00:28:31.730 --> 00:28:34.430
right, that still seems bad. But I go for it,

00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:37.710
I guess. Very same. I am the same way a lot.

00:28:37.809 --> 00:28:39.589
I'm looking at the relationship in the exact

00:28:39.589 --> 00:28:46.710
same way. Yep. More to say. But yes, I. It just

00:28:46.710 --> 00:28:51.509
seems like a real downer, their whole dynamic

00:28:51.509 --> 00:28:54.569
Oscar and Andrei at this point. Yeah, it's just

00:28:54.569 --> 00:28:56.230
very funny to have a new guy come in and be like,

00:28:56.250 --> 00:28:59.789
ooh, this is weird. Like, this seemed kind of

00:28:59.789 --> 00:29:01.509
fun for a little bit. Now that I've seen you

00:29:01.509 --> 00:29:05.529
together, this is this is bad. But we'll see

00:29:05.529 --> 00:29:08.450
how it develops in the next episode. So you want

00:29:08.450 --> 00:29:12.950
to move on? Yeah. Episode 32 is called Prelude

00:29:12.950 --> 00:29:16.099
to the Storm. We open on Oscar and Alon drawing

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:18.539
their swords to duel. We see that Alon fights

00:29:18.539 --> 00:29:21.160
with one sword in his right hand and his sheath

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.420
in his left hand, which is awesome. He's like

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:26.059
duel wielding, it's sick. The duel begins. Alon

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:28.119
is very good, but Oscar is no slouch herself.

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:31.240
Suddenly, one sword breaks the other as the OP

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.740
plays. We return to see that it's Alon's sword

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:35.920
that's been snapped. He now holds a broken sword

00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.019
in a sheath. Oscar tells him to give up, but

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:40.619
he refuses. He's like, the battle has just begun.

00:29:41.349 --> 00:29:43.170
They continue fighting with a lot of becoming

00:29:43.170 --> 00:29:46.009
more acrobatic as this goes on because we love

00:29:46.009 --> 00:29:49.349
doing flips and stuff and jumps It's so good.

00:29:49.930 --> 00:29:54.809
Yes He sends a pretty like hefty jab down into

00:29:54.809 --> 00:29:58.009
Oscar's elbow causing her to drop her sword They

00:29:58.009 --> 00:29:59.829
sit there for a while as the men kind of egg

00:29:59.829 --> 00:30:02.309
him on to like finish her but he kicks the sword

00:30:02.309 --> 00:30:05.019
back to her before throwing down his own sword

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:07.140
and sheath. He reveals to the onlookers that

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:08.859
she actually got a hit on him while he was doing

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:11.259
that maneuver and declares that he loses. He

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:13.960
then tells Oscar that she should pity Lazaray.

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:16.619
Everybody needs money. Even Alon has sold his

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:20.079
gun once or twice before. I mean, you know, I

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.160
did it in a way that I wouldn't get caught immediately

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.980
because I'm not a moron, but everybody in the

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:26.539
garden secretly sells their stuff. They don't

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:28.480
get paid and even though they're risking their

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.039
lives and stuff, it's still not enough. Oscar

00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:35.019
is like, all right. We cut to Oscar meeting with

00:30:35.019 --> 00:30:37.500
General Buell. She asks him to acquit Lazare

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:39.720
as a thank you for their work with the Spanish

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.200
Duke. Buell's like, oh man, all right, well,

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:44.480
I'll see what I can do. We jump to Alon and Diane

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.700
meeting up again. She tells him that she's gotten

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:49.779
engaged to a tall and kind man. She's so happy

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:52.400
she's brought to tears. Alon is like, oh, that's

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:54.680
surprising, but that's great. I'm so glad you're

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.099
getting married to a guy that you're in love

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:59.420
with. He's like, I'll be sure to go home and

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:01.980
see you as soon as I can. to meet this guy, and

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:05.099
they part ways. While leaving, Diane runs into

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:08.259
Oscar. She's like, oh, Oscar is like, oh, did

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:10.700
you meet up with Alon? And she says yes. And

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:12.700
then Diane adds that her brother told her that

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:16.099
Oscar means God and sword in Hebrew. Then she

00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:18.539
adds, God, sword and blonde hair. Am I right,

00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:22.440
ladies? Just like how God is depicted, she says

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.180
to Oscar unprompted. And then she's like, yeah,

00:31:25.259 --> 00:31:30.180
anyway, I'm going to go now. Bye. OK. I don't

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:34.660
know if you noticed this. It was so like caught

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:39.380
my attention, but she only moves in slow motion.

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.980
His sister all like she does not move at a normal

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:50.420
pace. It's all slow, like dramatic, like leaving

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:53.039
her brother and then running into Oscar and then

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:57.430
parting ways with Oscar. It's just like. I didn't

00:31:57.430 --> 00:32:01.690
notice. Yeah, I was like, she's the only character

00:32:01.690 --> 00:32:03.769
in the whole show to be walking slow -mo and

00:32:03.769 --> 00:32:06.029
I don't know why. Well, she's like kind of ethereal.

00:32:06.210 --> 00:32:07.609
She's a little out of place, you know what I

00:32:07.609 --> 00:32:10.769
mean? Yeah, I guess so. She's like much more

00:32:10.769 --> 00:32:12.910
of a callback to the early parts of the show,

00:32:13.769 --> 00:32:15.650
right? This is like she's acting the way like

00:32:15.650 --> 00:32:17.829
Marie was introduced when she was like 16 or

00:32:17.829 --> 00:32:22.059
whatever, right? Yeah. Oh, maybe this is just

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:25.759
a whole, like, a nice, innocent gal who just

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.559
can't cut it in the new Paris or something. Yeah,

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.799
I mean, like... Well, part of this episode is

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:35.579
talking about how, like, the times have changed,

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.680
and this would be like, oh, if this was the beginning

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.339
of the show, then she would have a whole thing.

00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:41.640
And by the end of the episode, she doesn't make

00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.680
it. So, times have changed. I guess I'm giving

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:49.000
away what happens. Spoiler alert. Yeah. Back

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.859
at the barracks. Oh, yeah, back at the barracks,

00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.200
Andre congratulates Alon on his sister's engagement.

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:58.180
Alon seems stoic about it, but says that it's

00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:00.339
just weird how fast his sister is growing up.

00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:02.819
Suddenly, one of the guards run up and tells

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:05.839
him that Lazaré is back. They didn't execute

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:08.440
him. He's banged up pretty bad, but he's free.

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:11.359
They go to see him and Lazaré tells Alon that

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.980
Oscar asked him for a favor to get him released.

00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:16.440
Alon smiles and looks over at Andre because he's

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.920
like, dang, that commander of yours is really

00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:22.059
something. Alon goes to see Oscar in her office.

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.299
He apologizes to her and then jokes about how

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:26.420
they can all sell their guns now without any

00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:29.079
fear of reprisals. Oscar's like, what? He's like,

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:32.039
I'm kidding. But she seemed to be warming up

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:34.099
to him, so that's fun. Later that evening, Oscar

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:35.880
tells Andre to come with her to thank General

00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.339
Buell. They get in a carriage and ride to the

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:40.460
opera house in Paris where he's watching the

00:33:40.460 --> 00:33:43.220
opera. Back at the barracks along gets word that

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:45.339
Andre went with Oscar to Paris and comments that

00:33:45.339 --> 00:33:46.960
if they're in a noble carriage That would be

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.660
like super dangerous because the mom has been

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:53.220
really unruly lately. Yeah stupid again Why wouldn't

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:55.980
she like for real? You would think Oscar would

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:59.319
know this Oscar's losing it French a commander

00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.200
of the French Guard that like this stuff would

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.960
happen But you know just like last episode where

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.859
she's like, hey, you're not supposed to be here

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:08.340
And then she's like, ah, whatever and then immediately

00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:11.429
ovals get shot like come on Oscar Looks like

00:34:11.429 --> 00:34:15.429
her touch. Yeah. For real. The carriage drives

00:34:15.429 --> 00:34:17.130
through Paris, but suddenly gets surrounded by

00:34:17.130 --> 00:34:19.309
a mob that ambushes it. A ton of men and women

00:34:19.309 --> 00:34:21.190
with pitchforks and torches rush the carriage.

00:34:21.309 --> 00:34:24.090
They beat the driver and bodily drag Andre and

00:34:24.090 --> 00:34:26.349
Oscar out of the carriage. The mob shouts to

00:34:26.349 --> 00:34:28.309
kill the nobles while Oscar yells that Andre

00:34:28.309 --> 00:34:30.590
is not a noble. They get beat up while the carriage

00:34:30.590 --> 00:34:33.969
is lit on fire. OK, this is almost like a zombie

00:34:33.969 --> 00:34:40.070
movie scene. Like mindless, just like. People.

00:34:40.849 --> 00:34:43.630
Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. This sequence is genuinely

00:34:43.630 --> 00:34:47.030
kind of scary. It's pretty impressive. Yeah.

00:34:47.650 --> 00:34:50.250
Shoujo taking a dark turn. There we go. This

00:34:50.250 --> 00:34:53.730
show's got it all. At the Opera House, General

00:34:53.730 --> 00:34:55.949
Buell is told about a riot that's happening and

00:34:55.949 --> 00:34:59.269
that he needs to slip out back. He asks a colonel

00:34:59.269 --> 00:35:01.250
that's with him if his men can handle the right

00:35:01.250 --> 00:35:03.590
and the colonel agrees The colonel is briefed

00:35:03.590 --> 00:35:05.730
that a carriage with a blue with the crest of

00:35:05.730 --> 00:35:08.070
a blue lion holding a sword was attacked The

00:35:08.070 --> 00:35:10.110
camera pans up to see that the colonel is Furson

00:35:10.110 --> 00:35:12.989
and he recognizes the crest of George's family

00:35:12.989 --> 00:35:16.050
crest He's like it could it be Oscar? Is it her?

00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:18.809
He rallies his men and they ride out. Okay, we

00:35:18.809 --> 00:35:21.730
gotta talk about Furson's hot again They made

00:35:21.730 --> 00:35:26.409
him ugly for a second and now he's gorgeous The

00:35:26.409 --> 00:35:32.269
first is back to being hot, baby. Oh, no. His

00:35:32.269 --> 00:35:37.889
eyes are so pretty. It's just like, I don't know

00:35:37.889 --> 00:35:39.469
what they're doing with the first one, but he's

00:35:39.469 --> 00:35:41.849
like, he's back. He's gone. He's back. He's here.

00:35:41.889 --> 00:35:44.489
He's gone. He's not here. Him and Oscar part

00:35:44.489 --> 00:35:47.050
ways. Him and Oscar are reunited in the worst

00:35:47.050 --> 00:35:49.170
possible circumstances you could ever be reunited

00:35:49.170 --> 00:35:54.369
in. That's right. It's a lot. Oh, God. Back at

00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:56.690
the riot all hell is breaking loose Oscar has

00:35:56.690 --> 00:35:58.250
managed to get on her feet and tries to make

00:35:58.250 --> 00:36:00.230
an effort to break for it But she falls right

00:36:00.230 --> 00:36:03.150
there, but she falls But then right then the

00:36:03.150 --> 00:36:04.789
first thing and has been right up under the crowd

00:36:04.789 --> 00:36:07.110
scattering them First and carries Oscar to an

00:36:07.110 --> 00:36:09.550
alleyway and she panics asking where Andre is

00:36:09.550 --> 00:36:12.110
first and earth No, she I'm sorry. She says specifically

00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:15.929
asking where her Andre is first and is like You're

00:36:15.929 --> 00:36:18.170
Andre. They both look surprised that she said

00:36:18.170 --> 00:36:21.110
that, but first and says he understands. He swears

00:36:21.110 --> 00:36:23.889
he'll save Andre and he rushes off, leaving Oscar

00:36:23.889 --> 00:36:27.489
alone, who repeats the words she said. My Andre.

00:36:27.849 --> 00:36:33.610
Why would I say that? The vibes are bad. I hate

00:36:33.610 --> 00:36:38.250
this so much. I am just it makes me mad. It's

00:36:38.250 --> 00:36:42.579
like I don't know where. He just assaulted you.

00:36:42.739 --> 00:36:45.380
I don't love that we're like rewarding that with

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:47.880
return to affection. She said she wasn't mad

00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.260
and then she forgot and then several months passed

00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:52.960
and it's like it didn't happen. It is the most

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:56.219
like it didn't happen. It's ever been. Hate this.

00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:01.019
Hate it. Wild. Oh my God. In person. Don't be...

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:03.340
But also first in. Why you gotta be showing up

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:08.659
now looking so fine? And then Oscar's like...

00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:12.119
Look, I'm not into you anymore. Oh, it's so good.

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.280
Especially like pulls her out of a riot. And

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.559
the first thing she says is like, oh, where's

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:18.099
my Andre? And he's like, oh, you're not into

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:20.280
me anymore. Dang. But don't worry, I got it.

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:22.260
Nah, Furson's a cool guy here, though. We like

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:26.079
Furson. Furson writes back to the crowd to see

00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.440
that Andre is about to be lynched. Furson fires

00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:31.559
his gun in the air and declares that he is Hans

00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:35.800
Axel von Furson. It's me. The crowd's like, Hans.

00:37:36.729 --> 00:37:39.369
Axel Von Fersen. That name sounds familiar. Why

00:37:39.369 --> 00:37:40.869
would I know that name? And then they're like,

00:37:40.969 --> 00:37:42.570
wait a minute, he's the guy that was having an

00:37:42.570 --> 00:37:44.570
affair with the queen that we all hate. Remember

00:37:44.570 --> 00:37:47.849
that from forever ago? Forget this random guy.

00:37:47.969 --> 00:37:49.929
Let's go kill Fersen. And then they all chase

00:37:49.929 --> 00:37:51.989
after him while Fersen books it, leaving Andre

00:37:51.989 --> 00:37:56.429
alone to escape. I was very worried. I was like,

00:37:56.489 --> 00:37:58.110
great, now they're going to kill him. Now that

00:37:58.110 --> 00:38:00.969
it's been confirmed, Oscar's not into him anymore.

00:38:01.670 --> 00:38:04.570
Queen Marie done with him. And then he was just

00:38:04.570 --> 00:38:06.130
good. I thought he was going to get killed by

00:38:06.130 --> 00:38:09.329
the mob like right then and there. First, jumping

00:38:09.329 --> 00:38:14.489
to extremes. Yeah. Good guy first and stay saving,

00:38:14.710 --> 00:38:17.150
saving Andre. His his friend, question mark.

00:38:17.269 --> 00:38:19.110
Were they friends? I don't know. They romped

00:38:19.110 --> 00:38:23.070
on horses together. That's true. There's a apples

00:38:23.070 --> 00:38:25.269
together this episode of the next episode real

00:38:25.269 --> 00:38:27.869
question of who's Andre actually friends with?

00:38:28.730 --> 00:38:30.769
Back at the jar Jays Manor granny brings Oscar

00:38:30.769 --> 00:38:33.329
some hot chocolate She's like things are rough

00:38:33.329 --> 00:38:35.090
out there, but I'm glad you got out of there,

00:38:35.090 --> 00:38:38.449
you know more or less intact Oscar asks how Andre

00:38:38.449 --> 00:38:40.250
is but granny tells her that he's just bruised

00:38:40.250 --> 00:38:42.050
up, but he's you know, he's alright He's not

00:38:42.050 --> 00:38:45.760
like super injured or anything He's got 26 bruises.

00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.719
Can you believe it? It turns out Oscar has like

00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.059
11. Yeah, she's in a similar state. Mostly just

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:55.940
bruised up. She thinks about how she called him

00:38:55.940 --> 00:38:59.119
my Andre as Andre walks up to her. He tells her

00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:00.500
that he got word that first had made it back

00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:02.739
to the palace without any problems. So everybody

00:39:02.739 --> 00:39:05.920
got away. Oscar offers Andre some hot chocolate,

00:39:05.940 --> 00:39:08.840
but he refuses and leaves. Oscar thinks to herself

00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.480
that she definitely would have gone to save first

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:14.230
if the roles were reversed. Yeah, I... God, I

00:39:14.230 --> 00:39:20.550
can't, I will have to talk. The conflicting,

00:39:21.190 --> 00:39:23.409
I don't know. I just don't know how I feel. I

00:39:23.409 --> 00:39:26.769
think I don't like what's happening, but like,

00:39:26.849 --> 00:39:28.050
I don't know that I have a good enough reason

00:39:28.050 --> 00:39:33.519
that too, but it's just like, ugh. It's several

00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:35.219
weeks later and everybody is talking about how

00:39:35.219 --> 00:39:37.500
Lon hasn't returned from his leave yet. It's

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:39.920
been like two weeks. Where has he been? Oscar

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:43.119
and Andre decide to go give Alon's pay to him

00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.659
personally and see what's up. They go to his

00:39:45.659 --> 00:39:47.320
apartment, but on the way up his neighbor stops

00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.119
them to tell them that if they're gonna go see

00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.059
Alon, tell him to like take care of whatever

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:53.400
the smell is coming out of his apartment. It's

00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:54.880
been like that for days. He probably just bought

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:56.739
like bad meat or something, like tell him to

00:39:56.739 --> 00:40:00.289
get rid of it. Andre knocks on Alain's door,

00:40:00.409 --> 00:40:02.929
but there's no answer, so he just walks in. The

00:40:02.929 --> 00:40:05.429
smell is terrible. Inside, they see Alain's mother

00:40:05.429 --> 00:40:07.710
looking extremely depressed. She says that Alain

00:40:07.710 --> 00:40:10.210
is with his sister, that he loved her so much.

00:40:10.690 --> 00:40:12.929
Andre walks in to see Alain sitting next to a

00:40:12.929 --> 00:40:16.170
dead Diane laying on the bed. The mother explains

00:40:16.170 --> 00:40:18.389
that the day before her wedding to a noble man,

00:40:19.010 --> 00:40:21.190
he got a proposal from a wealthy family and dumped

00:40:21.190 --> 00:40:25.429
her. Heartbroken, she hung herself, and that

00:40:25.429 --> 00:40:28.519
he threw her away like she was nothing. Alain,

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.179
clearly in shock, tells André and Oscar that

00:40:31.179 --> 00:40:33.420
he won't be going back for a while. Until he

00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:35.260
can come to terms with the fact that his sister

00:40:35.260 --> 00:40:38.039
is gone, he can't go back. In the streets, protesters

00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:40.159
demand for a meeting of the Estates General.

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:42.239
The narrator tells us that the Estates General

00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.460
is a meeting where all three estates get representation

00:40:44.460 --> 00:40:47.179
in the legislation. Then the narrator tells us

00:40:47.179 --> 00:40:49.380
that Oscar's mind is faced with the foreboding

00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:51.940
that this coming era might be a tragic one as

00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:57.550
we cut to credits. Oh, man. Well... All the Andre

00:40:57.550 --> 00:41:00.989
stuff doesn't super get addressed in the next

00:41:00.989 --> 00:41:05.849
episode. So what do you think, Joe, with how

00:41:05.849 --> 00:41:10.329
she's now all of a sudden? Well, let me tell

00:41:10.329 --> 00:41:14.949
you, throwing your entire person into your work

00:41:14.949 --> 00:41:17.849
to become a true man and not think about romance

00:41:17.849 --> 00:41:22.820
or emotion definitely hasn't worked. I feel like

00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:25.260
both her and Andre think about romance and their

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:29.820
feelings all the time in their job. Well, now

00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:32.539
I'm worried that it's like, oh, she's been messing

00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:35.840
up lately. It must be because she's just thinking

00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:39.440
about romance and now she's incapable of leading

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.380
and blah, blah, blah, because she's just got

00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:45.599
girly thoughts in her head. She's been like,

00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:48.260
not that anyone's calling her out on the bad

00:41:48.260 --> 00:41:50.659
judgment call she's been making lately. Yeah.

00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:54.059
The thing about it is like Oscar has been taking

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:55.880
L's, but she's been taking L's in the same way

00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:57.860
she's been taking L's the entire series. You

00:41:57.860 --> 00:41:59.840
know what I mean? Like it is not particularly

00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:03.099
out of character for her to like have one of

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:04.739
her men be like, oh, I came here to help her

00:42:04.739 --> 00:42:06.639
and her just be like, yeah, whatever. I feel

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.880
like she gets blindsided a lot. I remember early

00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.519
on being like, how come she's not suspicious

00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:14.480
of this? How come she's not like doing this other

00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.679
thing? I feel like that's just an aspect of Oscar.

00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:19.400
I don't feel like that is that is her doing worse.

00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:24.519
Yeah, it shows the kind of sheltered upbringing

00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:27.420
where she hasn't had to like distrust people

00:42:27.420 --> 00:42:31.699
like these other people around her. Yeah, have.

00:42:33.030 --> 00:42:35.650
Her mind doesn't go to worst case. Both of those

00:42:35.650 --> 00:42:37.929
things are the same level as like, I'm going

00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:41.889
to go get Jean alone. And I definitely won't

00:42:41.889 --> 00:42:43.489
get ambushed because there's two people in there

00:42:43.489 --> 00:42:47.789
or I'm going to go to Duke Orléans cellar by

00:42:47.789 --> 00:42:50.809
myself in the parlor where everybody hates me.

00:42:51.409 --> 00:42:53.349
It's like both in line with those things. So

00:42:53.349 --> 00:42:56.190
I don't really... She could also just like be

00:42:56.190 --> 00:43:01.130
over confident in herself, like overestimating.

00:43:01.929 --> 00:43:05.710
her abilities to handle any situation by herself.

00:43:05.889 --> 00:43:07.809
It definitely feels like that. So I don't I don't

00:43:07.809 --> 00:43:10.409
think I'm not viewing this as like, oh, Oscar's

00:43:10.409 --> 00:43:12.630
been worse at her job because she's too busy

00:43:12.630 --> 00:43:14.690
thinking about other stuff. I think that's just

00:43:14.690 --> 00:43:19.329
she's just like that. Yeah, I do think a lot

00:43:19.329 --> 00:43:20.909
is right, though, it's like Oscar just seemed

00:43:20.909 --> 00:43:22.670
like she's running away from something like,

00:43:22.670 --> 00:43:25.050
again, she's just not processing her emotions,

00:43:25.070 --> 00:43:27.849
which is why, like, she's so freaked out when

00:43:27.849 --> 00:43:29.989
she calls him my Andre. Because like, where's

00:43:29.989 --> 00:43:32.409
that coming from? Who knows? I could know if

00:43:32.409 --> 00:43:34.010
I thought about it, but I'm not going to think

00:43:34.010 --> 00:43:36.650
about it. We're going to shove it down as deep

00:43:36.650 --> 00:43:38.869
as possible so we don't have to think about what's

00:43:38.869 --> 00:43:41.210
going on. I don't have to process my extremely

00:43:41.210 --> 00:43:45.230
complex emotions about this guy who I know is

00:43:45.230 --> 00:43:47.429
in love with me, but also refuses to acknowledge

00:43:47.429 --> 00:43:48.929
that he's in love with me. And then there was

00:43:48.929 --> 00:43:51.170
that one thing we all decided to forget about.

00:43:51.429 --> 00:43:56.710
And also, yeah, I just like. Yeah. Yes. It's

00:43:56.710 --> 00:44:01.010
her responsibility now. I well, like with first

00:44:01.010 --> 00:44:05.510
and it was very subtle, like build up of realizing

00:44:05.510 --> 00:44:10.489
emotion and we saw it, you know, and then but

00:44:10.489 --> 00:44:13.250
like this is just out of nowhere. It feels like

00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:16.210
like, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, she is kind of

00:44:16.210 --> 00:44:17.710
isolated. She's gone to a situation where she

00:44:17.710 --> 00:44:21.360
is pretty isolated, right? Trauma bonding. A

00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:25.199
little bit. Yeah. I mean, yeah, for the most

00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:26.659
part, especially in this situation where they're

00:44:26.659 --> 00:44:28.260
all going to be like, he's going to get killed

00:44:28.260 --> 00:44:32.219
by a mob. You know what is weird? Or I guess

00:44:32.219 --> 00:44:35.539
I wonder, right. This is a shojo, but no one

00:44:35.539 --> 00:44:39.420
blushes like blushing is such a like iconic anime

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:43.019
shojo thing these days, but it doesn't exist,

00:44:43.019 --> 00:44:45.219
I guess, at this point. Yeah, that's not like

00:44:45.219 --> 00:44:50.539
a trope, I guess. No. So then I can't be like,

00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:56.519
oh, look, they they're feeling, you know, also,

00:44:56.639 --> 00:45:00.579
I guess people back then just didn't like. A

00:45:00.579 --> 00:45:04.579
moat as much openly as they do now, but. Well,

00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:06.480
I feel like the different like it is instead

00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:08.800
of blushing, it's like you staring at somebody,

00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:10.960
right? It's like, who are you looking at is like

00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:12.760
the indicator of that, because we see like a

00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:14.599
lot of shots where like Oscar was looking at

00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:18.639
person or like. Andre is looking at Oscar. So

00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:20.940
I guess that's the that's the indicator instead

00:45:20.940 --> 00:45:23.480
of blushing. Yeah. But yeah, what do we think

00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:28.159
about Alon's dead sister? That was really short.

00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.519
Well, I was surprised Oscar and Andre don't recognize

00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.739
the smell of decaying. It looked like she had

00:45:34.739 --> 00:45:37.699
like some stuff on her, like she had some like

00:45:37.699 --> 00:45:41.519
flowers or something to mask it. Oh, yeah, I

00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:43.760
guess so. Because she looks like blue. like coated

00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.760
and she's like white. She's like white. But there's

00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.420
like flowers on her. So I think that's probably

00:45:47.420 --> 00:45:50.579
like. Some kind of flower to mask the scent.

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:56.300
Yeah, it's a bummer. Or a lawn just trying to

00:45:56.300 --> 00:45:59.780
be. Oh, and then we find out in this next episode,

00:45:59.900 --> 00:46:03.579
but it's just this. He pulled it together fairly

00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:08.579
well, but I yeah, just a lot of bad stuff happening

00:46:08.579 --> 00:46:12.139
to a decent guy here. Yeah. I mean, again, the

00:46:12.139 --> 00:46:14.099
tone shift, we introduced this, we introduced

00:46:14.099 --> 00:46:16.840
this like young woman just to kill her. Yeah,

00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.199
for real. To demonstrate how the times have changed.

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.559
Remember how this almost happened to Rosalie?

00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:24.320
Remember how this happened to Charlotte? And

00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:25.880
then this almost happened to Rosalie, although

00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.440
it was kind of different. Just being like treated

00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.679
like. Although we never found out the details.

00:46:30.900 --> 00:46:35.219
Yeah. Yeah. With Rosalie. Man. OK. All right.

00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.780
You want to go to the next one? Yep. Here we

00:46:38.780 --> 00:46:41.480
go. Before we talk about all three of them. Episode

00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:43.980
33 is called In Twilight, the Funeral Bell Rings.

00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:46.500
We open on the pirate man lamenting that everything

00:46:46.500 --> 00:46:51.760
has gone bad. This the CNCNA, the river, you

00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:53.699
know, the river that they had to clean up for

00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:56.260
the Olympics. It turns out it was polluted back

00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:59.900
then too. And all the people are ravenous. Everything's

00:46:59.900 --> 00:47:03.079
gone wrong. The narrator tells us that the French

00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:06.019
financial situation is busted, new taxes are

00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:08.300
being levied all the time, and no one knows what's

00:47:08.300 --> 00:47:10.969
happening and everybody is pissed off. We cut

00:47:10.969 --> 00:47:13.670
to what I think is the assembly of notables where

00:47:13.670 --> 00:47:15.429
a bunch of powerful people in France come together

00:47:15.429 --> 00:47:18.250
and try to pass new financial reforms. One of

00:47:18.250 --> 00:47:20.050
the nobles insists that if they're going to pass

00:47:20.050 --> 00:47:21.869
totally new taxes, that they're going to have

00:47:21.869 --> 00:47:23.829
to convene the estates general so that all of

00:47:23.829 --> 00:47:25.530
the estates can approve it because they're supposed

00:47:25.530 --> 00:47:27.429
to be doing that. They're kind of not doing that,

00:47:27.809 --> 00:47:30.289
but they're supposed to be doing that. Several

00:47:30.289 --> 00:47:32.070
other nobles object, saying that the commoners

00:47:32.070 --> 00:47:34.829
are too dumb to understand finance, but it looks

00:47:34.829 --> 00:47:37.670
like the majority supports the motion as the

00:47:37.670 --> 00:47:40.650
OP plays. We return to Andre listening to Bernard

00:47:40.650 --> 00:47:42.690
give a speech about how the King must call the

00:47:42.690 --> 00:47:44.469
Estates General so they can all be treated as

00:47:44.469 --> 00:47:46.909
equals. Afterward, Andre catches up with Bernard

00:47:46.909 --> 00:47:48.730
and they both act like one of them didn't blind

00:47:48.730 --> 00:47:52.250
the other. Bernard invites him over to his house.

00:47:52.530 --> 00:47:55.469
I guess they're friends now. I guess so. I guess

00:47:55.469 --> 00:47:58.889
so. Andre comes to Bernard's house and find that

00:47:58.889 --> 00:48:01.269
he and Rosalie are married now. Bernard's like,

00:48:01.309 --> 00:48:03.110
oh yeah, after the whole Black Knight thing,

00:48:03.130 --> 00:48:05.530
we really hit it off. Cool that it worked out

00:48:05.530 --> 00:48:09.380
for me. Ha ha ha. Right, Andre? called it out.

00:48:09.579 --> 00:48:13.119
I called that. I knew it. Andre tells Rosalie

00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:15.639
that Oscar is doing well and tells her that nothing

00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:19.480
has changed, which. OK, Andre, sure, nothing

00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:24.519
has changed. OK, I I just realized we have never

00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:28.940
gotten to watch a like successful relationship

00:48:28.940 --> 00:48:31.400
really in the show. Like we've never seen like

00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.880
a happy couple and like the build up to that.

00:48:35.579 --> 00:48:38.800
It's got. Bernard and Rosalie, it's the best

00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.039
we got. Nothing to get excited about. I mean,

00:48:41.119 --> 00:48:43.840
we like Bernard and Rosalie. Watch it! I know,

00:48:44.019 --> 00:48:46.840
but we just skipped to it. It's the most bummer.

00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:49.820
Rosalie used to be so important, and now she's

00:48:49.820 --> 00:48:52.159
so, like, throwaway character. Like, what about

00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:54.679
all the cool sword fighting you learned, girl?

00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:56.500
What happened? She's not going to sword fight

00:48:56.500 --> 00:48:58.179
anybody by the end of the show. It's going to

00:48:58.179 --> 00:48:59.719
get to the end, and she's never going to have

00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:02.739
to fight anybody. Bummer. I know. This is the

00:49:02.739 --> 00:49:04.019
most I've been, like, bummed out, being like,

00:49:04.059 --> 00:49:05.900
ah, man, I wish we got more time with Rosalie.

00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.519
Yeah. Duh. Rosalie has to go to her new job working

00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:11.880
for Robespierre's organization to make pamphlets.

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.159
Bernard tells André that he should join up with

00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:15.860
them. Why else would he be attending a rally?

00:49:15.980 --> 00:49:17.800
But André deflects saying that he just happened

00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.840
to be there. Suddenly some men come to Bernard

00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:23.159
and tell him that the king has decreed the meeting

00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.079
of the estates general for the first time in

00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:27.699
200 years. This is a big deal because it allows

00:49:27.699 --> 00:49:29.800
the three estates to meet as equals along with

00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.559
the king. This could fix everything. We cut to

00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:35.360
Oscar riding out to the castle of Mueldaan. I

00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.019
don't know how to say this. where Marie and her

00:49:38.019 --> 00:49:40.280
son Joseph, the first prince, are staying because

00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:43.579
he's gotten super ill. Oscar goes and sees Joseph

00:49:43.579 --> 00:49:46.659
who really wants to see her because he likes

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:49.940
her a lot. Marie tells Oscar that he maybe has

00:49:49.940 --> 00:49:52.000
six months to live with his condition and it's

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.519
getting worse so who knows if even that is enough

00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:57.320
time. We also learn that he's only seven years

00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:59.679
old. In his sick bed, Joseph protests that he

00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:01.849
wants to get out of bed. Oscar comes to see him,

00:50:01.989 --> 00:50:03.989
and Joseph is happy to see her. He wants to go

00:50:03.989 --> 00:50:06.150
ride a horse with her, like the old times. A

00:50:06.150 --> 00:50:07.750
crying Marie says it's fine, they should just

00:50:07.750 --> 00:50:10.030
go. Like, just go have fun with him, it's cool.

00:50:10.309 --> 00:50:12.710
Oscar and Joseph ride around on her horse. Joseph

00:50:12.710 --> 00:50:14.710
says that he wishes he could ride like this forever

00:50:14.710 --> 00:50:17.070
before falling asleep. They take a break, and

00:50:17.070 --> 00:50:19.110
Joseph asks Oscar about the Estates General.

00:50:19.409 --> 00:50:21.789
He wants to be in Versailles for it. Because

00:50:21.789 --> 00:50:23.449
he should be there, right? He's going to be the

00:50:23.449 --> 00:50:25.170
King of France one day. And Oscar's like, yes,

00:50:25.170 --> 00:50:26.650
of course, you are going to be the King of France

00:50:26.650 --> 00:50:29.429
one day. Joseph, who absolutely knows that he's

00:50:29.429 --> 00:50:31.969
going to die, leans up and kisses Oscar saying

00:50:31.969 --> 00:50:34.469
he loves her. He'll definitely grow up to be

00:50:34.469 --> 00:50:37.050
a fine young man. So wait for me, OK, Oscar?

00:50:37.150 --> 00:50:39.989
And Oscar is like, yeah, OK. She's like 30 years

00:50:39.989 --> 00:50:43.289
older than you, my guy. Also, everyone just loves

00:50:43.289 --> 00:50:45.210
Oscar. Everyone loves Oscar. Who doesn't love

00:50:45.210 --> 00:50:49.469
Oscar? Who doesn't love a the what is it? Sword

00:50:49.469 --> 00:50:52.969
and Shields that means in Hebrew and also gorgeous

00:50:52.969 --> 00:50:54.969
blonde hair. We never talked about how Diane

00:50:54.969 --> 00:50:57.530
just hits on Oscar in the middle of last episode.

00:50:58.730 --> 00:51:06.110
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's so funny. It's just strange

00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:08.969
that they like set up for them to have an interaction

00:51:08.969 --> 00:51:14.019
that doesn't really go anywhere. and Oscar doesn't

00:51:14.019 --> 00:51:17.239
take away anything from seeing like what happens

00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:20.119
to her and stuff. Everybody loves the ideal night.

00:51:20.340 --> 00:51:23.320
Everybody loves the idea of Oscar being the ideal

00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:25.280
night. Too bad the ideal night can't actually

00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:27.800
do anything to resolve any situations, but she

00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:30.840
sure is nice to look at. No, that's right. In

00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:33.000
the chapel, Marie prays for Joseph to live as

00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.500
long as possible. Count Furson sees her and is

00:51:35.500 --> 00:51:37.659
about to go in and join her, I guess, when King

00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:39.679
Louis comes up from behind him and joins Marie

00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.079
instead. Furson takes this as his cue to leave

00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:45.820
and goes. Back in Paris, Alain finally returns

00:51:45.820 --> 00:51:47.699
to the barracks. The men comment that it's been

00:51:47.699 --> 00:51:49.460
six months and they heard that both his sister

00:51:49.460 --> 00:51:52.480
and his mom have died in that time. Alain plays

00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.739
it off saying that he needed to return because

00:51:54.739 --> 00:51:56.739
the Estates General is happening. This is a huge

00:51:56.739 --> 00:51:58.539
deal and he wants to be there for it. We cut

00:51:58.539 --> 00:52:00.639
to André telling Oscar that apparently Fursten

00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:03.219
took that cue to leave France entirely, so I

00:52:03.219 --> 00:52:06.980
guess he's out of the story now. Yeah. Again.

00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:11.099
We thought he was gone for good before. I'm like,

00:52:11.099 --> 00:52:13.980
now I'm like... Who knows? Is he going to make

00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:17.900
some crazy? Like, what is happening with the

00:52:17.900 --> 00:52:21.159
story of Furson, you know? The last we see of

00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:24.920
Furson is him considering going to comfort the

00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:29.199
woman he loves the most about her dying son and

00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.820
then not doing that because her actual husband

00:52:31.820 --> 00:52:37.719
shows up. So he goes home. Pathetic. Yeah, weird.

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.909
Just very just off. You know throw away comment

00:52:41.909 --> 00:52:44.369
on the fate of first not only that Oscar does

00:52:44.369 --> 00:52:46.690
not seem to care at all And instead says that

00:52:46.690 --> 00:52:48.510
they need to do special security training for

00:52:48.510 --> 00:52:51.739
the Estates General. Yeah Just no reaction. Well,

00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:54.199
I'm assuming Andre would have been like, oh,

00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:56.860
she's still totally into that guy. So I was expecting

00:52:56.860 --> 00:52:58.960
her to have more of a reaction. I mean, Andre

00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:00.579
is always delivering the news about first and

00:53:00.579 --> 00:53:02.340
like he delivered this news. He delivered the

00:53:02.340 --> 00:53:04.440
news that he came back from the Americas. He

00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:06.940
delivered the news that like he made it back

00:53:06.940 --> 00:53:09.780
to Versailles last episode. Totally fine. He's

00:53:09.780 --> 00:53:11.119
like torturing himself by doing that, man. I

00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:16.869
don't know why he does that on May 4th. 1789,

00:53:17.130 --> 00:53:18.929
the day before the opening of the Estates General,

00:53:19.429 --> 00:53:21.769
a grand mass was held for all of those in attendance.

00:53:21.969 --> 00:53:25.090
I mean, mass as in like the religious ceremony

00:53:25.090 --> 00:53:29.050
or the, yeah. May the fourth be with you. Mm

00:53:29.050 --> 00:53:32.789
-hmm, also Star Wars is happening. The French

00:53:32.789 --> 00:53:34.510
Royal Guard and the Swiss Royal Guard are here

00:53:34.510 --> 00:53:36.349
to do security. I don't know how much this is

00:53:36.349 --> 00:53:38.690
gonna matter, but using foreign mercenaries was

00:53:38.690 --> 00:53:40.849
extremely common back then, but having a bunch

00:53:40.849 --> 00:53:42.869
of foreigners point guns at people in your own

00:53:42.869 --> 00:53:46.030
city is bad for popular opinion. This comes up

00:53:46.030 --> 00:53:48.389
in, like, the Revolutions podcast, so just keep

00:53:48.389 --> 00:53:50.409
that in mind, I guess. We'll see if it matters.

00:53:50.889 --> 00:53:52.670
Oscar thinks that Joseph should be in the building

00:53:52.670 --> 00:53:54.690
right over there, watching the mass procession.

00:53:55.010 --> 00:53:56.849
Joseph is there, and he wonders where Oscar could

00:53:56.849 --> 00:53:59.579
be. Andre tells Oscar that the men are in position

00:53:59.579 --> 00:54:01.559
and Oscar tells him that she almost became the

00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:04.000
queen. That's like a little joke. Yeah, that

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.119
was fun. We come back to Oscar having humor.

00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.280
We come back to Joseph and he tells his younger

00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.360
brother, Louis Charles, to go watch the meeting

00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.679
up close. After all, he might be the first prince

00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:20.019
one day because I'm super going to die. The processions.

00:54:20.699 --> 00:54:23.619
To the mass starts with the third estate, all

00:54:23.619 --> 00:54:25.420
of the third estate representatives wear black

00:54:25.420 --> 00:54:27.480
and their ranks include guys like Robespierre,

00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:30.179
he's there, and also some disaffected nobles

00:54:30.179 --> 00:54:33.480
elected by their own constituents. Partway through

00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:37.039
the procession, Joseph passes out. The next day,

00:54:37.139 --> 00:54:40.000
the Estates General opens. The opening ceremony

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:41.539
involves both the King and the Queen walking

00:54:41.539 --> 00:54:43.760
out to preside over the meeting. King Louis is

00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:45.579
announced and comes out to applause and takes

00:54:45.579 --> 00:54:48.070
his seat. Queen Marie is announced and comes

00:54:48.070 --> 00:54:50.690
out to dead silence and takes her seat, realizing

00:54:50.690 --> 00:54:53.130
that she has lost the support of absolutely everybody

00:54:53.130 --> 00:54:56.789
there, meaning that the people might not really

00:54:56.789 --> 00:54:59.150
hate the entire royal family. They might just

00:54:59.150 --> 00:55:02.050
actually hate her. She thinks to herself that

00:55:02.050 --> 00:55:03.670
she's going to have to stay strong to get through

00:55:03.670 --> 00:55:07.150
this. Girl, I can't believe you're only just

00:55:07.150 --> 00:55:10.369
now figuring this out. Like, it's been years,

00:55:11.030 --> 00:55:14.389
years and years that people have felt like this.

00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.360
Yep. Oh my god. People were feeling this way

00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.219
in like episode 20. Yep. A month passes and nothing

00:55:22.219 --> 00:55:25.179
happens. Outside the Estates General, Andre and

00:55:25.179 --> 00:55:27.000
Alon talk about how they've been meeting every

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:29.699
day, but they seem to be in an impasse. Andre

00:55:29.699 --> 00:55:32.039
is like, or no, Alon is like, too bad I can't

00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:34.639
get in there and start, you know, making some

00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:38.079
speeches. Oscar comes up and Elan asks her how

00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:40.440
it's going. She says it as disorderly as usual.

00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:42.800
And then she apologizes to the men for having

00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:45.119
to like for having them work every day without

00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:49.039
any breaks. When the general ends, they all get

00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:51.300
time off. She notices a bottle on the ground

00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:53.139
and is like, hey, guys, didn't I ask you to pick

00:55:53.139 --> 00:55:54.960
up the trash around here? Like, you know, it'd

00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:57.059
be bad if somebody like slipped on this or something.

00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:59.139
And Andre is like, oh, my bad. And she's like,

00:55:59.139 --> 00:56:00.440
yeah, it's cool. Can you just throw this out

00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:03.059
for me? She tosses the bottle to Andre, whose

00:56:03.059 --> 00:56:05.380
eye starts acting up and he misses of the very

00:56:05.380 --> 00:56:08.900
easy catch, and the bottle shatters. Alon's like,

00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.119
oh, Andre, you're such a butterfingers. I'll

00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:13.400
clean this up. But Oscar's like, hey, Andre,

00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:16.340
is your vision OK? Like, is your eye OK? But

00:56:16.340 --> 00:56:19.000
Andre and Alon both cover it up. We get a scene

00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:20.780
of the King and Queen rushing off because Joseph

00:56:20.780 --> 00:56:23.420
is in bad condition again. Back at the Jarjeys,

00:56:23.460 --> 00:56:25.760
Andre tells Oscar that apparently the Estates

00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:27.360
General adjourned so that the King and Queen

00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:30.239
can go visit their dying son. Oscar says that

00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.199
he's had episodes like this before and has pulled

00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:33.739
through. So, you know, hopefully this time won't

00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:36.570
be any different. Then Oscar takes out a knife

00:56:36.570 --> 00:56:39.909
and holds it up to Andre to ask him if he knows

00:56:39.909 --> 00:56:42.289
that she's holding up a knife to him. She's like,

00:56:42.449 --> 00:56:44.250
can you see this? And Andre is like, yeah, of

00:56:44.250 --> 00:56:45.869
course I can see it. It's like two inches away

00:56:45.869 --> 00:56:48.969
from my face. Come on, Oscar, I'm not blind.

00:56:50.349 --> 00:56:54.489
There's a very visual indication that there's

00:56:54.489 --> 00:56:57.050
a delayed reaction to his eyes seeing it. Like

00:56:57.050 --> 00:57:00.489
we see that. Oscar, you should be able to see

00:57:00.489 --> 00:57:06.000
that too. And through lies, my god. Yes. Oscar

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.599
returns to her seat, but hears something and

00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.619
goes back to the window. It's the church bells.

00:57:09.860 --> 00:57:12.059
That must mean that Joseph is in critical condition.

00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:14.099
The narrator tells us that those bells signal

00:57:14.099 --> 00:57:16.639
a 40 -hour vigil because the prince might die.

00:57:16.900 --> 00:57:19.280
In a sickbed, Joseph asks why the representatives

00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:21.380
at the Estates General aren't able to make a

00:57:21.380 --> 00:57:23.440
compromise. Marie is like, you don't need to

00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:25.539
worry about that. You're only seven years old.

00:57:26.300 --> 00:57:28.000
Joseph says that he wishes he could make it back

00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:30.000
to Versailles one last time, and King Louis is

00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:31.880
like, of course, you'll definitely get better

00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:33.519
and we'll go back there, and you can even go

00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:35.679
writing with Oscar again, just like before. And

00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:38.639
Joseph is like, ah. Oscar, that would be great.

00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:41.780
And then he dies. He dreams of a white horse

00:57:41.780 --> 00:57:44.099
before fading to black. Marie and Louis are left

00:57:44.099 --> 00:57:46.380
to mourn. The narrator tells us that Joseph died

00:57:46.380 --> 00:57:49.380
on June 4th, but maybe his early death, which

00:57:49.380 --> 00:57:51.340
left him unaware about the future fate of the

00:57:51.340 --> 00:57:54.539
family was a blessing in disguise, which, oh,

00:57:55.019 --> 00:58:01.570
what a thing to say. Yeah. Yeah, well, yes. E.

00:58:02.050 --> 00:58:05.190
Yes, probably, but also grand. Probably. Oscar

00:58:05.190 --> 00:58:07.449
rides off to give the royal family her condolences.

00:58:07.630 --> 00:58:10.650
The narrator tells us that an ominous that tell

00:58:10.650 --> 00:58:12.690
us ominously that is unclear what the future

00:58:12.690 --> 00:58:15.849
of France holds as we cut to credits. Bum, bum,

00:58:15.969 --> 00:58:22.889
bum. OK, OK. Like stuff is happening. These next.

00:58:24.329 --> 00:58:27.250
Episodes are going to be so crazy. Breakneck

00:58:27.250 --> 00:58:31.750
speed. Yeah, I'm excited. And I'm also concerned.

00:58:32.789 --> 00:58:39.449
Oh, man. Like, God. OK. All right. How do we

00:58:39.449 --> 00:58:41.010
feel about this? What are we talking about first?

00:58:41.170 --> 00:58:43.050
Do we want to we want to do our final farewell

00:58:43.050 --> 00:58:46.250
to Ferson? If it's the final farewell is right,

00:58:46.349 --> 00:58:49.489
like he can't come because the thing is the amount

00:58:49.489 --> 00:58:52.230
of time, like the amount of literal time between

00:58:52.230 --> 00:58:56.070
the state's general convening and the royal family

00:58:56.070 --> 00:58:58.610
being executed, I don't think is that long. Well,

00:58:58.690 --> 00:59:01.289
maybe he'll come back to grieve Marie Antoinette.

00:59:01.590 --> 00:59:03.349
Oh, yeah. Like, we'll get one final say with

00:59:03.349 --> 00:59:06.409
him. At the very end or something. Yeah. Uh -huh.

00:59:06.789 --> 00:59:08.750
Maybe. Let me look up a French evaluation timeline.

00:59:09.050 --> 00:59:11.309
Yeah, well, tragic that you're hot again and

00:59:11.309 --> 00:59:13.789
now you leave. Like, you should have just gone

00:59:13.789 --> 00:59:16.250
away when they were animating you not hot and

00:59:16.250 --> 00:59:18.429
then let us see more of you when you did look

00:59:18.429 --> 00:59:21.789
good. Because I feel like I remember, like, when

00:59:21.789 --> 00:59:24.440
we... God, you know who's gone through it the

00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.699
most? Andre visually. Like he looks so different

00:59:27.699 --> 00:59:33.400
and so down and like gloomy and the emo cover

00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:38.639
my eye with my hair and this and that. Like he

00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:42.860
used to be so jolly. I guess maybe Oscar's just

00:59:42.860 --> 00:59:45.500
into that more and that's why she's into him

00:59:45.500 --> 00:59:49.099
now. She's into the more doom. I don't know.

00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:51.900
I mean, she's like in a totally different spot,

00:59:51.900 --> 00:59:53.539
right? She lives for the drama. She lives for

00:59:53.539 --> 00:59:55.739
the drama. Yeah. All right. So let me, let me,

00:59:56.019 --> 00:59:59.219
okay. August 8th, the Royal Treasury declared

00:59:59.219 --> 01:00:02.340
entry and the King calls the Estates General.

01:00:02.539 --> 01:00:09.300
Okay. So that's August 8th, 1788. Let's see.

01:00:10.340 --> 01:00:18.360
And then Marie gets executed on October. 16th,

01:00:18.360 --> 01:00:22.460
1793. So it's four years in between those things.

01:00:22.619 --> 01:00:25.659
So I think we're at the Estates General. We're

01:00:25.659 --> 01:00:27.420
about to do the tennis court oath. So that's

01:00:27.420 --> 01:00:31.719
when things are really taking a turn. That's

01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:35.159
in 1789. So she's got three years left. So we're

01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:36.860
going to cover three years and seven episodes,

01:00:37.139 --> 01:00:39.460
which is plenty of time for person to come back.

01:00:39.539 --> 01:00:44.630
Yeah, he could totally come back. Well, I guess

01:00:44.630 --> 01:00:52.309
we'll see. OK. What do we think? I'm like. Oscar,

01:00:52.690 --> 01:00:54.710
I'm still convinced Oscar is going down with

01:00:54.710 --> 01:00:58.030
the ship. So close to not. Is Andre going down

01:00:58.030 --> 01:01:01.309
with her or is he going to pull her out of it?

01:01:01.309 --> 01:01:04.130
Because he's very clearly leaning more towards

01:01:04.130 --> 01:01:07.929
the revolution, but his loyalty to Oscar is keeping

01:01:07.929 --> 01:01:10.989
him from aligning with. what he agrees with.

01:01:11.130 --> 01:01:14.670
It's going to be so tragic if like us or if Andre's

01:01:14.670 --> 01:01:17.590
love for Oscar is what gets him killed. I mean,

01:01:17.670 --> 01:01:18.989
that's what they're all setting up. This is what

01:01:18.989 --> 01:01:20.969
Alon is saying every episode. Sounds about right.

01:01:21.829 --> 01:01:23.389
He's just like, dude, you need to let her go.

01:01:23.449 --> 01:01:24.590
Like this is going to you're going to get caught

01:01:24.590 --> 01:01:27.170
up in something. Is that what's going to happen?

01:01:27.750 --> 01:01:30.630
Maybe Andre dies and that's what it takes for

01:01:30.630 --> 01:01:35.929
Oscar to like cut ties fully and and side with.

01:01:36.170 --> 01:01:39.590
the revolution and then she's just going to be

01:01:39.590 --> 01:01:42.989
bombed out forever. You think so? Or like disappear

01:01:42.989 --> 01:01:47.190
after the after Marie. I don't know. I but then

01:01:47.190 --> 01:01:50.849
like she's not that she has a close relationship

01:01:50.849 --> 01:01:53.409
with Marie anymore, but like how is her death

01:01:53.409 --> 01:01:57.989
going to? I don't know. It's so it's so Oscar's

01:01:57.989 --> 01:02:00.769
very dramatic, so who knows? It's so good how

01:02:00.769 --> 01:02:03.139
unclear this is, right? Because it's like. There

01:02:03.139 --> 01:02:05.579
are many threads pulling Oscar to the revolution

01:02:05.579 --> 01:02:09.699
at this point, right? Like, Alon likes her and

01:02:09.699 --> 01:02:11.780
would definitely gear her towards that. Like,

01:02:11.780 --> 01:02:13.380
she's hanging out with the man. Like, she helps

01:02:13.380 --> 01:02:15.699
Lazaray in this episode. Like, she knows what's

01:02:15.699 --> 01:02:18.119
up. Like, she understands the situation more

01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:21.739
than she ever has in her position now, right?

01:02:22.300 --> 01:02:24.599
And she also is experiencing violence firsthand

01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:27.980
at the mob. So I think she understands what that

01:02:27.980 --> 01:02:31.550
means as well. So I still feel like there's room

01:02:31.550 --> 01:02:33.750
for her to basically get exiled at the end, which

01:02:33.750 --> 01:02:37.449
is the ending I was wanting for her. She gets

01:02:37.449 --> 01:02:42.650
convicted of siding with the royal family, but

01:02:42.650 --> 01:02:45.769
because of her relationships with Bernard and

01:02:45.769 --> 01:02:48.309
those guys, they get it reduced to her just being

01:02:48.309 --> 01:02:51.769
exiled. I still think that could be what happens.

01:02:52.329 --> 01:02:56.630
Rosalie appeals to Bernard, who gets him to commute

01:02:56.630 --> 01:02:59.769
some of the sentence. I'm still I'm still pulling

01:02:59.769 --> 01:03:02.170
for that ending, but I don't know. I mean, it

01:03:02.170 --> 01:03:04.030
seems like she's going to die and also going

01:03:04.030 --> 01:03:06.769
to drag Andre down with her. Yeah, that seems

01:03:06.769 --> 01:03:09.949
that's just going to be a very tragic end to

01:03:09.949 --> 01:03:12.469
the show. It's not like we've had like excessive

01:03:12.469 --> 01:03:16.530
happiness ever. This show does not for any punches.

01:03:17.949 --> 01:03:20.449
Like if any show is going to kill its main character

01:03:20.449 --> 01:03:24.539
at the end, it would be this one. Yeah. I don't

01:03:24.539 --> 01:03:26.840
know. We'll, we'll freaking see, I guess. Do

01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:28.860
you think, do you think Andre would join the

01:03:28.860 --> 01:03:31.099
revolution? Just like as it stands now? I mean,

01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:33.900
he was hanging out with Bernard. Maybe. Oh, OK.

01:03:34.139 --> 01:03:38.840
What if it's like Oscar somehow gets punished

01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:43.539
for having like what? OK. What if Oscar gets

01:03:43.539 --> 01:03:47.219
killed by the Royals for like some kind of, I

01:03:47.219 --> 01:03:50.099
don't know, having loose ends or like she could?

01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:53.440
side against us to take her out now before she

01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:56.579
does and then that pushes him to become more

01:03:56.579 --> 01:04:02.119
radical and side with them to like avenge Oscar

01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:06.679
maybe? Yeah, maybe. There's also a third thing

01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:09.019
that could happen because I don't think this

01:04:09.019 --> 01:04:13.280
will, but it could, which is that France is going

01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:17.000
to go to war with Austria and Prussia, I think,

01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:20.420
during this time. like in between the years when

01:04:20.420 --> 01:04:24.320
they. So the timeline is a little weird for the

01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:25.739
French Revolution, because it's like we always

01:04:25.739 --> 01:04:27.260
talk about this domestically, but then there's

01:04:27.260 --> 01:04:29.400
the stuff internationally, which is like all

01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:32.019
the other powers of Europe are looking at France,

01:04:32.019 --> 01:04:34.079
like devolving and being like, yeah, this is

01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:36.320
great. Our hated enemies, France, are devolving.

01:04:36.380 --> 01:04:37.659
And then they see that they're going to form

01:04:37.659 --> 01:04:39.780
like a like a representative government and get

01:04:39.780 --> 01:04:41.400
rid of the king. And they're like, oh, shit.

01:04:41.900 --> 01:04:44.059
If our people realize they could do that, that

01:04:44.059 --> 01:04:46.159
could be a problem for us. So then they all like

01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:49.019
try to invade France. So like during the French

01:04:49.019 --> 01:04:51.139
Revolution, France is constantly at war with

01:04:51.139 --> 01:04:55.380
everybody around them. So it could also be disaster

01:04:55.380 --> 01:04:57.500
could also get dragged off to war. I don't think

01:04:57.500 --> 01:04:58.920
that would happen because I wouldn't make a very

01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:01.639
good story, but that is an ending for Oscar potentially.

01:05:01.860 --> 01:05:05.139
Like she gets put on the front lines away from

01:05:05.139 --> 01:05:09.090
everything as she sees. Marie one last time and

01:05:09.090 --> 01:05:10.610
then here is the matter getting executed later.

01:05:10.610 --> 01:05:13.110
That's another thing that could happen. Yeah,

01:05:13.110 --> 01:05:15.909
that sounds like a possibility. I guess we're

01:05:15.909 --> 01:05:18.809
just going to wait and see, but not for too much

01:05:18.809 --> 01:05:22.849
longer. OK, so making the revolution seem like

01:05:22.849 --> 01:05:27.650
a real bummer. We have we have three more episodes

01:05:27.650 --> 01:05:30.750
next week. We're going to watch thirty four,

01:05:30.849 --> 01:05:34.030
thirty five and thirty six. And then we're going

01:05:34.030 --> 01:05:39.239
to watch. 37, 38, and then 39 and 40 as two separate

01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:40.880
episodes. So we'll have three left just because

01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:42.500
we want to have time. We don't want to put all

01:05:42.500 --> 01:05:45.280
four episodes into one last episode of the podcast

01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:47.760
because that would be, we're going to have, I

01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:49.199
feel like we're going to have a ton to talk about

01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.199
in the show overall. So we're going to have one

01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:55.980
full episode next on like maybe a shorter one

01:05:55.980 --> 01:05:57.940
after that or who knows, maybe we have a lot

01:05:57.940 --> 01:05:59.960
of stuff to talk about in that one. And then

01:05:59.960 --> 01:06:03.320
one final wrap up episode where we kind of go

01:06:03.320 --> 01:06:07.300
over the whole series. and do our end of show

01:06:07.300 --> 01:06:10.260
stuff. You know, where we do the rankings and

01:06:10.260 --> 01:06:12.960
stuff like that. I am fascinated to see what

01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:16.119
our rankings is of all the shows we've watched.

01:06:16.139 --> 01:06:18.639
Oh, yeah. The show is going to have a big impact.

01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:24.039
This one's going to be wild. Oh, boy. Yeah, that's

01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:28.360
going to be fun. We've been behind the scenes.

01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:30.340
We've been working out kind of the next shows

01:06:30.340 --> 01:06:32.619
we're going to watch as we wrap up the Rose of

01:06:32.619 --> 01:06:35.530
Versailles. Um, what are we going to do for the

01:06:35.530 --> 01:06:39.230
movie? We haven't really talked about that. Oh,

01:06:39.230 --> 01:06:45.989
yeah. Uh, I guess do it immediately after our

01:06:45.989 --> 01:06:49.429
show coverage ends. But do we have that be like

01:06:49.429 --> 01:06:53.650
a normal episode instead of a bonus? Uh, yeah,

01:06:53.650 --> 01:06:55.090
I feel like we should cover it as a normal episode

01:06:55.090 --> 01:06:57.809
because that is like part of the content of the

01:06:57.809 --> 01:07:01.690
show. But do you want to do it immediately afterwards?

01:07:01.909 --> 01:07:04.750
Yeah. I think so. That way it's all together.

01:07:05.530 --> 01:07:08.869
And then we can have, unless, no, cause we like

01:07:08.869 --> 01:07:11.070
this. So it's not like we need a break from it,

01:07:11.070 --> 01:07:12.889
you know? Yeah. And it's been like, you know,

01:07:12.949 --> 01:07:18.130
we haven't watched the first 10 episodes in two

01:07:18.130 --> 01:07:21.250
months or whatever. Sometime. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:07:21.250 --> 01:07:24.769
Yeah. Yeah. It'll be cool to see. So I think

01:07:24.769 --> 01:07:30.190
that's what we'll do. And yeah. So this is think.

01:07:31.299 --> 01:07:35.500
Excellent choice, Joe. Excellent choice. And

01:07:35.500 --> 01:07:38.780
it's going to be hard finding things that get

01:07:38.780 --> 01:07:42.639
us this invested moving forward. Yeah. I mean,

01:07:42.659 --> 01:07:44.280
I guess we can go ahead and say we are the next

01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:45.460
thing we're going to do is we're going to we're

01:07:45.460 --> 01:07:48.559
going to do season two of Chiayi Fury. So we're

01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:51.340
going to go back to that and finish that up.

01:07:52.539 --> 01:07:54.920
And then we're... Go back to feeling bad for

01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.679
Tai Chi. Go back to normal stakes for a show.

01:07:57.679 --> 01:07:59.539
And being mad at Chi Hai. Where the stakes of

01:07:59.539 --> 01:08:01.780
the show aren't gonna be like, hey, is the entire

01:08:01.780 --> 01:08:04.420
government gonna fall apart? It's gonna be like,

01:08:04.579 --> 01:08:11.000
can I make rank whatever, eh? Yeah. Uh -huh.

01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:13.360
Yeah, so... It'll be a nice palette cleanser,

01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:14.519
maybe, a little bit. Quite the shift in tone

01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:18.020
once we get to that. Uh -huh, yeah, for sure.

01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:23.449
Oh, boy. OK, well, I guess as we're coming to

01:08:23.449 --> 01:08:26.189
an end for the Rose of Versailles, hopefully

01:08:26.189 --> 01:08:29.470
you guys have enjoyed the coverage of this. And

01:08:29.470 --> 01:08:32.770
if you want to tell us what shows you want us

01:08:32.770 --> 01:08:34.710
to cover, if it's something similar to this or

01:08:34.710 --> 01:08:39.229
you do need a lighter, lighter show, feel free

01:08:39.229 --> 01:08:44.569
to leave us reviews and in those reviews, tell

01:08:44.569 --> 01:08:49.489
us that's the way we'll hear your requests. You

01:08:49.489 --> 01:08:52.789
can also email us at showjopod .gmail .com. That's

01:08:52.789 --> 01:08:55.069
another good way to send us direct questions

01:08:55.069 --> 01:08:59.630
or comments, but mostly questions. So go ahead

01:08:59.630 --> 01:09:03.010
and do that. Tell your friends, this is a good

01:09:03.010 --> 01:09:06.310
show. It's a great show, actually. They should

01:09:06.310 --> 01:09:09.270
know about it. If you know about it, they know.

01:09:09.750 --> 01:09:12.250
Go ahead and spread that around. Let them know.

01:09:12.510 --> 01:09:15.439
They can listen to this if they... I want some

01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.380
companion pieces to talk to them through it because

01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:22.000
this is a fun way to consume media, I guess.

01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:27.819
Yeah, for sure. No guessing about it. For sure.

01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:30.680
All right. Well, we should have an episode. We

01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:33.100
should have a bonus episode out sometime in the

01:09:33.100 --> 01:09:37.699
near future when you're hearing this. Yeah, probably

01:09:37.699 --> 01:09:40.279
a few days afterwards. Something like that. And

01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:44.159
then we're going to finish up the show. Watch

01:09:44.159 --> 01:09:47.760
the movie. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Excited. We're

01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:49.800
reaching the end. We're rushing to the end to

01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:53.899
watch Marie get her head cut off. I can't wait

01:09:53.899 --> 01:09:58.000
for that. I mean, my hatred isn't as passionate

01:09:58.000 --> 01:09:59.680
as it used to be because we don't have to see

01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:02.640
her as much. Did you like it when she came out

01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:07.579
to total silence? Well, it's like. Yeah, it's

01:10:07.579 --> 01:10:09.800
the most like I'm like, it's over for you. You're

01:10:09.800 --> 01:10:12.239
so done. I mean, does the king think nothing

01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:16.149
of it? Or is he aware, like, have they not made

01:10:16.149 --> 01:10:19.289
public appearances before this? You know, what

01:10:19.289 --> 01:10:23.789
have they been doing? Yeah. Should be more aware.

01:10:24.390 --> 01:10:28.710
They should be more aware. But yeah. Yes, have

01:10:28.710 --> 01:10:35.319
have. Remember, have awareness of. Things happening

01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:37.819
around you, please. Remember to pay a little

01:10:37.819 --> 01:10:39.539
bit of attention to your polling numbers. You

01:10:39.539 --> 01:10:41.560
know, you don't want to be walking out to complete

01:10:41.560 --> 01:10:44.659
silence. That's bad. Yeah. That's a pressure

01:10:44.659 --> 01:10:47.260
to get tomatoes thrown at or something. I guess

01:10:47.260 --> 01:10:49.260
they would have gotten killed for that. Probably.

01:10:49.460 --> 01:10:51.659
These are like nobles and stuff. They're not

01:10:51.659 --> 01:10:53.560
going to be like this is like walking out in

01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:55.380
front of Congress. Well, like they're not going

01:10:55.380 --> 01:10:58.119
to be throwing tomatoes. Now, the mob will be

01:10:58.119 --> 01:10:59.760
throwing tomatoes. We're finally going to see

01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:03.279
for sure. Yeah. Well, if I see the return of

01:11:04.029 --> 01:11:08.210
God, what's his name? First bad guy? Ducor Leon?

01:11:08.670 --> 01:11:12.949
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because he's been gone. It's

01:11:12.949 --> 01:11:16.890
yeah, the pacing of this show has been the time

01:11:16.890 --> 01:11:21.729
it covers and the coming and going of characters,

01:11:22.170 --> 01:11:26.710
you know, as the stakes have gotten higher, the

01:11:26.710 --> 01:11:29.010
less like intimate moments we're getting with

01:11:29.010 --> 01:11:31.789
our side characters that we used to get. We don't

01:11:31.789 --> 01:11:34.250
get sendoffs like we did with Madame Dewberry.

01:11:35.170 --> 01:11:38.970
Ah, she got out of there. My good time. Bad news

01:11:38.970 --> 01:11:41.729
about her because she's going to come back in

01:11:41.729 --> 01:11:44.310
a very bad time. I don't know if the show is

01:11:44.310 --> 01:11:47.529
going to cover it, but historically, yes. Yeah.

01:11:47.989 --> 01:11:51.869
OK. All right. OK. All right. Remember. Thank

01:11:51.869 --> 01:11:55.430
you, everyone. What are you remembering here?

01:11:57.470 --> 01:12:00.390
If the woman you love is praying for her son's

01:12:00.390 --> 01:12:02.670
recovery and her husband goes to pray with her,

01:12:02.670 --> 01:12:04.510
maybe you should just leave the country. Maybe

01:12:04.510 --> 01:12:08.289
it's time to get out of there. Know when the

01:12:08.289 --> 01:12:10.670
going gets good that you should get gone. The

01:12:10.670 --> 01:12:12.850
first time he's ever seen them interact as a

01:12:12.850 --> 01:12:17.130
couple. Yeah. Good, good time to leave first.

01:12:17.649 --> 01:12:19.729
Honestly, like just get out of there, man. If

01:12:19.729 --> 01:12:22.409
you see dynamite just run for the hills. That

01:12:22.409 --> 01:12:25.369
stuff you underestimate the power of dynamite.

01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:28.100
If one of your underlings starts acting very

01:12:28.100 --> 01:12:30.000
suspicious and wants to follow you, don't just

01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:33.020
let them. Don't just let them do that. Yep. Yep.

01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:37.520
Yep. OK. So many lessons learned. We should get

01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:39.560
a sword fight. I'm mad that we don't get a sword

01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:41.899
fight. Oh, my God. We're going to get one. We're

01:12:41.899 --> 01:12:43.500
going to get to the end of this story and I'm

01:12:43.500 --> 01:12:45.779
not going to happen to Rosalie. It's going to

01:12:45.779 --> 01:12:50.090
be sad. She could have been. They could have

01:12:50.090 --> 01:12:52.689
been like a vigilante couple. It would have been

01:12:52.689 --> 01:12:54.989
so cool. I'm just imagining like a better reality

01:12:54.989 --> 01:12:57.310
where Andre became the Black Knight and Rosalie

01:12:57.310 --> 01:12:59.369
is also there. They all just became the Black

01:12:59.369 --> 01:13:00.869
Knight together. You know what I mean? Like they

01:13:00.869 --> 01:13:02.649
all have the outfit and they're all like tag

01:13:02.649 --> 01:13:04.930
teaming and they're all just swashbuckling and

01:13:04.930 --> 01:13:07.949
cool. Imagine. Yeah. Imagine. He was really good

01:13:07.949 --> 01:13:12.869
at it. He had fun with it. Oh, goodness. OK.

01:13:13.189 --> 01:13:16.569
All right. We're wrapping it up here, Joe. Thank

01:13:16.569 --> 01:13:20.039
you, everyone, for listening. We appreciate it.

01:13:20.779 --> 01:13:24.300
We hope to hear from you guys and we'll catch

01:13:24.300 --> 01:13:27.659
you. We'll catch you next time with our bonus

01:13:27.659 --> 01:13:32.539
episode and then the end of The Rose of Versailles.

01:13:32.739 --> 01:13:35.560
Three episodes left of the podcast. We'll catch

01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:39.939
you guys. Yes, forever. The end of Shoujo. We're

01:13:39.939 --> 01:13:41.319
done. Forever. We're calling it done. We've covered

01:13:41.319 --> 01:13:43.180
all of Shoujo after this show. It's like what

01:13:43.180 --> 01:13:45.279
else can we possibly do? The show can't be topped.

01:13:45.859 --> 01:13:52.170
Yes. It can't be bested Yeah, all right. See

01:13:52.170 --> 01:13:53.210
you guys later
