Episode 5.4 - "Powerless Against Really Bad People"
Jenny and Ted discuss Hive 5.4.
Episode Notes:
• Jenny’s worst chapter • When school is everything • Will any institution in Worm do better than Taylor’s high school? • Perhaps worst of all, these failings are so grounded and real • Does Alan achieve Emma-levels of bullying in this chapter, or merely Taylor-levels of planning and strategy? • Does Madison achieve any levels of strength or relevance at all? No, of course not! • Jenny hopes that Sophia will eventually somehow work with Taylor against the story’s true villain… Emma • Taylor picked defensive righteousness over maximizing her odds of success (even though her maximum odds were probably quite low) • The selfish reason why the principal won’t transfer Taylor • Jenny requests some reassurance from Ted about what’s in store • We still love Danny and think he’d be a great cape Dad (though it’s up to Taylor) • Oh no, are we older than Danny? • If Jenny can’t get a happy ending, she will accept Taylor (and Amy?!?) going on a rampage • Capes are just people, but people can be villains • We wind down by circling back to the school’s failure, and some particularly bad actors within the school • Predictions on how Taylor can win the arc
