      It's either got to do with their secret plan or because Jon and Elias want Martin as a possible backup archivist. I don't think his motive was primarily that Martin doesn't get hurt. Would be terribly out of character as well. Might still be a secondary or tertiary motif.

  • @theprideling
    @theprideling 3 ปีที่แล้ว +454

    Okay there's something fascinating going on here with Jon and Martin that I don't see a lot of people talking about so I wanna put it down. MILD SPOILERS in the sense that this is all stuff we know by now, but it might not me 100% clear until the next couple of epsiodes. NO PLOT SPOILERS tho!
    We all know now that Martin has a crush on Jon, that's super clear. Jon's also straight up said to Tim that he's listened to ALL of the statements so we know he heard Basira and Melanie talking about it. We also know that "It was Martin's idea" ... whatever they're going to do with Elias. Dasiy said so.
    So... even though it's really cute, Jon being protective of Martin and telling him to stay behind... it was Martin's idea. He's pretending to be shocked and affronted. Jon's pretending like he just thought of it to protect him. This was a calculated move against Elias even if we don't quite know what they're planning yet.
    BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN THE MOST INTERESTING PART. I'm pretty sure Martin knows everyone knows about his crush at this point. He's not dumb. He knows people, he's insightful. And Jon? Jon heard it discussed in a statement. In the office. Where Elias seems to know everything that's happening. So... they both know, but more importantly, they both know that ELIAS knows. So this move? Jon wanting to protect Martin? Martin hating the idea and railing against it but ultimately doing what Jon asks of him?
    They're actively weaponsing their feelings for each other against Elias and I think that's very sexy of them.

    • @b-blythe6763
      @b-blythe6763 3 ปีที่แล้ว +119

    My theory from this episode and what we know so far:
    I think that the reason why Martin and Melanie will stay behind is because they've planned for them to do something against Elias/the Eye while Elias will be focused on John and the rest trying to stop the Stranger's ritual and, thus, he will be distracted. They've already established that he doesn't in fact see and know everything at the same time they're happening, so they'll use this opportunity to do something against him.
    Other than that nothing much else in this episode, things were pretty straight-forward with the info we were getting, only thing that bugs me is that the name Wolfgang sounded somehow familiar and I couldn't remember if it is because we've heard it before in this series or if it's because it reminds me of Wolfram, a name I know from my studies :3

  • @kingofpoliwhirls7464

    Seeing as this is The Stranger, confusion is an obvious thing, but with what Gertrude said, did The Slaughter, or one of their avatars at least, stop The Stranger's ritual? The soldier fired the cannon, which stopped the performance, and then Gertrude mentioned it was an Avatar of the Slaughter. I suppose the entities don't entirely want the others to finish their rituals before they do, but I still find it odd.
