TMAGP 19

Hey y'all,

Just thought I would try something this week and give a couple of thoughts on today’s episode. (I might do it again in future, I might not, let’s see.)

Personal Thoughts:
I have to admit I was nervous about this one. I have taken lead researching the historical elements of Protocol and part of me is always terrified that someone will drop me a line and be like “FYI this makes no sense” and then I realise they are right.

That said, I have checked and double checked though so it’s probably fine right? Also frankly I didn’t really have to make that much stuff up. History in this period is absolutely bananas.

Fun fact for this episode: The Gilded Gallows. Look it up.

Backstage insight: I don’t deliberately keep including Newton in my work. The guy just has a lot of links to him on Wikipedia y'know? Also I super enjoy writing old-timey.

Further Reading:
If you are interested in the topics I recommend the following (on the understanding that they do not contain secrets for the show or anything I just think they are good):
1) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
2) Outliers Podcast S2E1 Crack of Thunder by Gabrielle Urbina of Wolf359 fame
3) The Ritman Library in Amsterdam

I know you probably can’t answer because of spoilers, but is there any chance you could confirm we don’t hear any harm done to children in Protocol? Jack’s introduction has set me a bit on edge, things happening to kids is a huge trigger for me.

Happy to answer this one. We are following the same rules as Archives, if you are introduced to an animal or child as a character, (basically if they are named) they will be all right in the end. They may encounter peril but will not be harmed. (see ep 19 as an example).
