    a tiny moment that really got me was Jasper smiling and chuckling a little bit when Chloe got flustered and said she wanted hummus instead of cream cheese but as soon as Diane said "Anything that kills something is bad" his smile disappeared instantly.

    I absolutely love how Xander portrays a Malkavian.
    He's not a raving lunatic that makes you wonder how on earth did he survive for more than two seconds as a kindred.
    He's eccentric and clearly has trouble discerning what is real and what is not, especially since much of his visions are in fact real, though in a very allegorical way...
    It's nearly impossible to form coherent thoughts when half of them aren't your own. And yet X manages to pull some meaning out of these visions, even if accidentally.
    The Wolf biting a Crown, the Nosferatu under Griffith Park, the Cold Flame, etc. were all things that he saw in his visions and turned out to be true.

    The first time I saw this, as soon as the sad piano music came in at the cafe, I started to cry. By the time Chloe read and reacted to the note, I was sobbing. They did such a good job with this episode. I also love seeing Jasper one on one in his labyrinth. Things about it that terrified the others only intrigue him. He seems most genuinely happy when down there, solving its mysteries, and it was so nice to see. My friend described him as "living his best life" exploring that place, and I agree.
    Also, let me add, as much as I love the questions they did answer, they didn't answer the one question that's been burning in me since Episode 8: Where and from whom is Jasper going to feed now that Tara is gone?!?!
    And it is very striking at see Alex not in the Jasper make-up. I'm assuming they were in a rush when they filmed the epilogue?

Like Twitch it has chat during streams and VODs after broadcasts. Some G & S content is exclusive to Alpha, and some comes out on Alpha first. If you've seen Dani's Critical Role recaps and noticed the character overlays that don't appear on Twitch or RUclips, those are from the Alpha stream. They get, among other things, an extended Talks Machina segment called Talks Machina After Dark. Deborah Ann Woll's upcoming game Relics and Rarities's episodes will come out on Alpha a few days before it's on G & S's website, starting in February. It costs the same as a monthly Twitch subscription, but Legendary doesn't need to pay Twitch a cut and members get access to more, including invites to certain live events.

    This whole thing was amazing. Jasper's note was so bittersweet. It was self-sacrificing and sweet telling her to move on, but the guy she's seeing is showing classic red flags for abusive relationships too. IRL never tell your friend to consider marrying someone who's in a rush, it's a *very* bad sign. I felt like shouting "No! Move on but not with this Dave guy!" ("I love you" on the first date, followed by getting serious way too fast? Noooo! That at least needs some brakes.)
    Props for such a good job storytelling, it obviously sucked me in- I cared about the relationship of an imaginary woman I only met a few minutes ago. Well done.
