I’m relistening to The Magnus Archives, so I’ll probably be posting some of my thoughts.
I think I’ll also try and identify what Fears appear in each episode.
MAG 1, Anglerfish:
- “I have been working as a researcher at the Institute for four years now and am familiar with most of our more significant contracts and projects.” I’m honestly so curious what kind of projects the Magnus Institute have.
- Jon is so sassy, does he realize that this is going to be on an official institute recording?
- Do they ever explain what the deal is with the anglerfish and cigarettes? Cause cigarettes are Web, right? Addiction and all that.
- Sarah is obviously mentioned again later, and I think Daniel Rawlings is in the taxidermy episode, but are any of the other names brought up again?
- It’s literally the first episode and there’s already a Michael (Michael MacAulay) and a John (John Fellowes) mentioned.
- Obviously this one’s The Stranger.
MAG 2, Do Not Open:
- Two episodes in and we have another John.
- Why is the apartment building completely empty? Just cause it’s spooky? Is it from The Buried? Or The Stranger? Or do the entities just have that effect sometimes?
- “That said, I did mention it to Tim yesterday, and apparently he did some digging of his own.” Do none of them have anything better to do with their free time than more of their job?
- The Coffin is Buried, and I think it’s said that “John” is Stranger, as are Breekon and Hope.
