I started listening to Midnight Burger (on ep 20) here are some of my thoughts (in no particular order):

• I like all the characters, but I’d say my favorite character is Caspar.
• I totally thought it was going to turn out that Caspar was a child when he first found the diner, and the Mucklewains (No clue how to spell that) where kinda his psuedo parents and that’s why he was so distressed when the channel changed, and why he was so defensive of them.
• also thought that the “Management” that Caspar mentioned in ep 1 was who took him after the diner wasn’t open for 3 days.
• Good for Effie and Zebulon on being the Hot Ones.
• Also thought that Caspar was somehow what made the diner be able to time travel
• I will admit, I honestly didn’t like Gloria’s Ted rebellion, mainly cause I feel like the diner is a neutral party, just that being that active in conflicts felt antithetical to what it is. Not that it would necessarily help the Teds, but like it just wouldn’t be such an active opposing force. (I don’t know what I’m trying to say here, it just felt off to me.)
• no offense to Chuck, but their voice creeps me out.
• I know this is going to be a long rant, but honestly, Caspar shouldn’t have been the only one to apologize.
• He never would have tossed her into space if she hadn’t put them all in that situation. Like, what Ava did was, to me, way worse.
• Caspar told her what his plan was, Ava gave absolutely no warning.
• Caspar gave her a choice to do it willingly, Ava didn’t give anyone a choice.
• Caspar checked that it was safe, Ava had no idea if she was putting everyone in danger.
• Maybe I’m being too harsh, and I know I am biased towards Caspar, but Ava is honestly being such a hypocrite.
• “No. I’m not going to forgive you. I’m also not going to apologize for betraying your trust and doing the one thing you asked me not to do. Yeah, you were right, the suit was safe, but I’m still not going to forgive you for making my actions have actual consequences for me.
• Actually, I’m even going to insult you, and say that you’re being a selfish asshole for having feelings, and insinuate that you always get your way, never mind the fact that I, Ava, almost always make everyone go along with what I say, because I’m smart and the rest of you are idiots.
• And now I’m even going to insult you further by basically telling you to your face that you’re useless and nobody even likes you, we only tolerate you.”
• Honestly, if you ask me, Caspar didn’t need to tell Ava about his son, he doesn’t need to justify his place at the diner. The diner is a place for people who need it, and no one should have to tell the others why.
• Sure, Caspar knows the others’ reasons, because he’s been at the diner the longest, but he’s not prying, or demanding they tell him.
• I felt the same about Effie and Zebulon not wanting to tell them about why people left their church. They clearly didn’t want to talk about it, (I think they might have said that word for word) the others should have just dropped the subject.
• Like sure, eventually Caspar should have told them about his son, but it should have been because he trusts them and wanted to share it. Not because he was made to justify his place at the diner.
• I know I just bashed Ava a lot, but I don’t hate her, I just think she’s in the wrong here, but the narrative kinda makes it seem she’s right.
• I know Caspar calls her out, but he’s the only one to do so, and he folds on the point pretty quickly.
