CR2 Quick Reacts - EP136

Episode Digest: 

I gotta say, in spite of my frustration and my backseat TTRPGing, I love the fact that this is continuing. Lucien was allowed to Monologue, we got hints that a PART OF HIM, the PART THAT WAS ONCE MOLLY was, in fact, alive. It’s in there, and it’s stopping him from killing them. 

Something tells me that it’s not the same as Molly being... in there... it’s more like a leftover ghost, a phantom limb of attachment, a feeling that these people ARE his friends. And that hurts all the more. 

Now we’re in the Astral Sea. Good news? We did not need to use spells to get here. Bad news? We are almost out of all the other spells. No one got a long rest. And something tells me they won’t be getting one. 

As for the T-Dock discussion... 

I find it fucking fascinating, and also wonder if it will be at all addressed later. It feels like The Big Test Matt put in front of Caleb at the last leg of his arc, basically giving him everything he desired at the onset - with a bow on top, Essek, who can actively HELP accomplish these goals, and could be convinced to be an active aid - and is baiting him into taking the swipe. 

Instead, Caleb actually turned away - for now. He turned away FOR THE TIME BEING, knowing there’s other things at hand. And we KNOW that he can prioritize. 

But what about..... .after? 

I’m now eagerly wondering if they address it in-game or if Liam and Matt literally just left this giant ass mousetrap sitting there for future one-shots and just went :) “Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Who can say?”

(Don’t tell me the answer to this, this is a rhetorical question y’all. I wanna watch it on my own.)

Molly is literally screaming inside Lucien upon hearing his friends voices in his head, it's taking everything Lucien has to keep him from getting out or making some kinda of psychic connection with Beau or Caleb. Especially when Caleb refers to him specifically. I feel it in my bones.

wow I really just made myself sad with my own brain by reading a time travel discussion in youtube comments and thinking how sad it would’ve been if present-Caleb managed to save his parents leaving past-Caleb in the dark so he’d still meet M9 and complete the time travel research, but it took present-Caleb so long to achieve the safe time jump, by the time he comes back to present with the knowledge he needs to seek out his parents they’re already dead of old age having lived out their days in the place where present-Caleb took them after the fire.

Holy FUCK Molly is still in there!! Oh my GOD oh my G O D.

#catching up on critical role #critical role spoilers #cr2 ep136 #this is the first time I really hoped they could get him back #fucking LUCIEN #MOLLY IS STILL IN THERE!!!!!!!! #also fuck yeah this campaign is SO not ending with Aeor

[critical-escape]

Caleb verbally referenced the leaving the world better than they found it line to Lucien, I believe to see if it caused the same reaction as when he psychically called him circus man and it didn't. Maybe because there is a small presence of Molly in Lucien's mind, that he doesn't seem to even know about, that heard Caleb and Beau and reached out in some capacity. I think it's more complicated than reminding or triggering different memories and emotions out of Lucien.

The M9: *talking over themselves, trying to figure out how to light up the room*

Beau: Yasha, your hair looks good

oohohoho they can now pierce through illusions? see better in the dark?? saying this as somebody short sighted, accidentally selling your soul to a bunch of ancient mad scientists seems like a nice trade off

Lucien to the M9 after setting the Intuit charges:

#lucien set them right?? #do we have this confirmed?? #cr spoilers #cr2 ep136 #the meighty nein

[hold-the-fjord]

I AM SCREAMING

#cr2 ep136 #I cannot fucking believe matt did this lmao

[yashaslionett]

"It's complicated" - Caleb to Jester about Essek

#gimme the shadowgast crumbs!! #cr2 ep136 #cr spoilers

[hold-the-fjord]

Essek and Caleb: *excitedly share theories about the temporal/transmutation time travel circle they just found*

Essek: perhaps we can come back here afterwards and--

Jester: --change the past?

Essek: --exchange theories.

Jester:...

Jester: Caleb, I think he’s totally coming onto you

what I find an endless source of Incredible, is how even after M9 literally murdered 3/5 of TT members, Lucien is still talking like a slightly disappointed parent whose child misbehaved but it’s nothing they can’t talk out using terms like “trust is important in our relationship”.

amazing. you can really feel how the multiple deaths and soul-splitting did nothing for his mental health.

his thought processes are like a single hair growing in, getting all twisted and convoluted under the skin.

I can’t be properly enraged at Lucien for doing to M9 exactly what they’ve done to Tomb Takers, but nevertheless omfg fuck that guy
