It also plays when she fights the different "Otho" in the match - which was also a nice detail I noticed the first-time I watched the scene. Especially showing that IT has the Upper-hand during the first half of the fight, until Lex pops in and saves the day (with help from Webby of course).
Y'know usually it breaks my immersion when a character is played by someone else than they were before but Joey as Ethan is actually pretty great casting

Both versions of Ethan are weirdly heartwarming and sweet. He really does try to keep Hannah happy, even to his own detriment. She's not even related to him.
@@larissafracalossi9847 Tinky's sadistic, but his sadism is born in being a trickster. He just doesn't view people as people because he thinks they are toys; Blinky doesn't view people as people because they are property. Tinky tosses people around and treats them as nothing more than playthings, getting them to do as he wants while providing an illusion of choice. After all, he didn't just plain out torture them, he drove them insane by stirring everything around them into a curious little cocktail. But in the end, I don't think Tinky cares that he is hurting them, he's just doing it to see that he can do it. Blinky, on the other hand, is a one person police state. His whole thing is cruelty. He's as clever as he needs to be and as tricky as whoever he's catching, but all in all it's stomping on his victims that fuels him. I'd have to rewatch it to be sure, but iirc in Watcherworld there was something of a constant tension. There were basically no moments of reprieve. When in TGWDLM, Emma and the titular guy would've gotten just a moment to flirt, or Black Friday would've given someone a second to ponder how tragic it all is, Watcherworld leaves its family of victims moments to, still stuttering from fright, exchange a quick recognition of the other's survival state, trying to create a period of pause, before something bad happens that interrupts it. Because Blinky is Always Watching. And he won't let you catch a break. You are his, so you better behave like it, you belong in Watcherworld, you belong to Watcherworld.
Okay, but between her nailing the Alanis-Morissette-inspired title song and her acting the HELL of out of Lex's anger / self-loathing at her inability to care for Hannah, this is Angela's finest turn in a Starkid production and it's awesome to see her prove what a first-class talent she is.
I just realized that at the end of killer track Duke is trying to get the school to pay for Hannah's medical bills. I didn't even realize that until I went back and watched it.
@@SirGiradon283 oo, was there any indication of this? I didn't see any blue slime or such... If it's just typing the event, I'd say Tinky is more likely. You're not really bringing people together just because they all die from the same thing. Meanwhile, the whole invading your mind and do what you think contrary to how you might want to act, and the whole existential breakdown of this is very T'noy Karaxis to me, 7"#0; (4&4/15.
SPOILERS Why is the Webby sleepover so funny to me. When Webby poked her head in to ask if Webby wanted a snack and then Webby told her to get out I laughed so hard.
okay but is no one gonna talk about how ethan greene is everyone's best boyfriend? and joey did such a great job with him, he's so endearing, imperfections and all
Well that ending hurt like hell. God Lex and Hannah are my favorite characters in this universe. Angela is just an unbelievable actress. What an underrated piece this is
The fact that Pokey “Hates every voice that is not his own” makes me think he might even want to get rid of his fellow lords in black. A fight between all the lords would be interesting
I fully believe the lords in black only don't go for each other is because they have countless timelines to mess with so they never really get in each others way. if they were confined to one universe I think they'd fight one another for full control.
it's such a payoff seeing the blue goo and the meteor from tgwdlm getting tied into the growing hatchetfield canon. you guys are killing it with these stories!
not to mention webby mentions pokey's been freed before!!!! i think this ties into him being "sealed" in the meteor and attempting to return to hatchetfield in various ways - cause in tgwdlm the meteor crashed, while in this timeline scientists visited that materials and brought the "blue shit" back
Here after Workin’ Boys was released on digi ticket & Nick said NMT3 is coming if the views on NMT2 went up & I’m shocked at how they’re not at 100k. These are INCREDIBLE stories & immense acting with absolute bangers. NMT3 is apparently pro shot as well so they’ll be short movies!? I come watch these all the time, they’re so good & i NEED more
@@autisticandproudsnephew3636 yes! Nick said in the halloween livestream that NMT3 has stories all done for it but they aren’t going to produce it unless NMT2 gets some more love, which I’m shocked it hasn’t!
I love how you can hear an almost ominous version of the instrumental of the lyrics “Will tomorrow come? Will tomorrow not come?” sometimes when Hannah is the focus
This season was a lot more wins for the protagonists than usual, to be fair. The nighthawks didn't take over, nor did the Killer Track; Frank Pricely made it out alive, as did the main Abstinence Camp campers; and Hannah, Lex, and Webby worked together to kill the elder god that so easily took over the world in the first Hatchetfield installment. Sure, Nibbly ate Linda, but she's a (lovable) villain anyways. It's a much higher loss ratio on the side of the antagonists than last season.
I don't know; can Emma really be said to have a "win" at the end given that they're arrested? I guess it's better than being enslaved by the nighthawks, but it still doesn't seem like a desirable outcome. And "Abstinence Camp" ends with the main characters still being held at the camp by someone threatening them with an axe; it's just that now it's Grace doing that instead of Lumber Axe. And unlike Emma and Zigs, Frank does *not* escape slavery. One could argue this season has less victories for protagonists since it only has this one and "Killer Track" wheras the last one had "The Hatchetfield Ape-Man", "Watcher World" *and* "The Witch In The Web."
I also don't think they "killed" the god itself per se. They destroyed his only fully viable physical vessel at the time, but there's nothing stopping him from (sooner or later) getting another one, probably with Charlie's help. Otho was (allegedly) just the thing that got created with a bit of Pokey's goo from a meteor. Still a win, relatively speaking, of course.
i was honestly kind of upset that we didn’t get kendall playing hannah in this one, but even though her voice and face were obviously completely different i think lauren absolutely nailed the character, she was so good
Another fun fact: that’s not actually a costume, according to the episode talkbacks from November that’s a puppet controlled by Nick Lang, just like Lumber-Axe was in Episode 2!
Spoilers below Well the good news is, they escaped from the awful! The bad news is, they are now separated from Ethan and are now on the run from Charlie.
Well given that her actress has quit the acti rofessionf r a while to concentrate on her studies, we may not see her for a while in any future starkid thing (unless thy gt someone else to fill in the role)
I actually kinda find the fighting rink wholesome? Because like- the kids aren’t butt hurt that they are made to fight each other, they just do it and then hang out with no hard feelings. They form like some kinda friend group? Also, 1:22:42
Once again, Curt Mega absolutely killing it as both and actor but definitely editing too! Also, Joey as Ethan and Lauren as Hannah were both incredible. And oh my god Bryce as Spitfire crushed it!!!
Now, we've properly seen all of the Lords in Black and not only that, we now know we already saw one in TGWDLM. Since he was dominating people without it here Pokey made the conscious choice to make his world domination into a musical and that makes him the best Lord In Black.
That was 100% the influence of crashing into the theatre. The first people possessed were theatre kids, so Pokey was just like, “Huh. This is how they communicate? Weird, but Imma go with it 🤷🏼♂️”
@@mattwood1562 Honestly that's kinda what I was seriously thinking too :P Though the thing about matching his frequency makes me think that music is still a part of it to a degree? (Also how the dolls were "sing-along pokeys"; probably meant as just a TGWDLM in-joke, but you could take it as an in-universe hint too :P)
@@Idran Pokey defintively seem to have a thing about voices/music. In TGWDLM the professor did tell the zombies had a special gland to communicate through harmonic vibrationa nd here we see him do the frequency thing so it seems voice is a bit of a theme with him.
To be honest I am not sure if pokey was the one in TGWDLM or was it actually just a hive mind alien but it does seem like they are teasing pokey to be the one in that so it would make sense
Aw, I'm still in the beginning, but I just wanted to say that Ethan is such a sweet guy. I kept waiting for him to turn out to be part of the problem, but he didn't get upset with Lex, even when she threw the wrench, and then when she was all stressed wiht her test and he says anything you forgot I'll take care of, knowning she forgot Hannah's birthday, and then he was being so sweet with Hannah taking her to do something fun for her birthday even though they are obviously tight on cash. Lex and Hannah are lucky to have him in their lives. I hope those 3 are ok.
Aw that one ended kinda sad. Ethan was a good guy, he really would have said no to Charles regardless of the amount of money, not that I think Charles would have let it go, but still, he really did love Hannah and Lex and was trying to be the dad Hannah needed and the partner Lex needed. Too bad he didn't just take Hannah to Vegas and hit Megabucks. Well, guess that can't happen when you live in Hatchetfield.
Anyone else groan when Frank appeared with his "Excuse me, Alexandra". Good job, Corey, 'cause I'm not a fan of Frank - like - at all; even knowing the hell he's suffering through. How can I feel sorry for a man and despise him all at the same time.
How is every episode better then the last? Every time I feel like "Yes my new favorite Nightmare Time episode" a new one comes out and I'm like "Yes my new favorite Nightmare Time episode" repeat and repeat again lol
"Next Time" is a perfect bookend to TGWDLM. Is it a lovely show closer from Team Starkid letting us know that Nightmare Time 3 is inevitable and we'll all see each other again real soon? OR is it a lovely anthem sung by Pokotho's puppets relaying the threat that he's still out there and world domination is just one good plan away? It's both. Another great run of Nightmare Time. I as always am watching. Sweet dreams, my fellow Dikrats.
@@thejellyfinn maybe they are saying goodbye to Nightmare Time as we know it? With the announcements they've done recently it seems they are going into a new era of Starkid. The Hatchetfield universe isn't going anywhere, but with Nerdy Prudes Must Die it looks like they are going into a new phase with this whole thing, specially with going back to on stage shows and stuff
@@daniellins4114 Would make sense, Nightmare time was very myuch a thing tey threw together because with the pandemic they couldn't do musicals, it was never meant to last very long. I'm glad it got it's two seasons still.
@@daniellins4114 i know this reply was a year ago but i wanted to say in case anyone else sees this and worries about it, but they do have plans for a nightmare time 3!!! they even dropped all the potential story summaries in their halloween stream post npmd youtube release. but they said that theyd only do it if the views on nmt2 can increase, bc it'll let them know that more people want a nmt3!! not sure if its still a zoom format or irl filming, bc obv if its filming or in person itll be harder to gather everyone around.. i think theyre still figuring that out
I dont mind casting changes at all I'm very understanding lol but I hope there are no problems with Kendall. That kid is very talented and was a great addition to the cast
Ethan ist genuinely my most favorite character in the whole Hatchetfield universe. He just cares so much about Lex and Hannah while being such a lovable idiot. Absolute gem of a character.
I have to be completely honest and say that it took me a long time to sit and watch these masterpieces just bc these were not live plays. I should've known that SK NEVER disappoints! Loving every single episode and i have to admit that I was always at the edge of my seat. I wanna know more about Holloway. It made sense to me the fact that she signs and plays the guitar when I remembered that in one of the episodes she was asked for an autograph when going back in time with Hannah, and it was during the 80's.
I'm still trying to watching most of these episodes as a whole (some I've only seen bits & pieces of). I'm just waiting the right time to watch any of these episodes, once I've got a clean slate and have a nice relaxing time. Although, I have chunks & pieces of most of the episodes (except for F&A, TB and Jane's a Car) and have enjoyed these episodes/stories full of laughs and shocks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch the whole series whenever I get the chance. Edit:...
So for anyone the is still unsure if pokey was responsible for tgwdlm he definitely was. His mind control is a little different between this and tgwdlm but that’s probably because he doesn’t have his full power. As stated in the video they found a meteor (the same one from tgwdlm) and used the goo they found inside combining it with human dna creating this form we see him take. But the most likely reason he decided to take on a musical mind control was probably because he landed in the theatre causing some sort of influence and that’s all the lords in black starting with Pokey and ending NT2 with Pokey what a journey
Okay but like, who else 100% was not ready for Joey's Ethan Green? Like yes I knew it'd be Joey but- That hair, the earring, the EVERYTHING just- beautiful. 10/10.
1:30:45 Can we talk about how freaking epic the underscoring is right here!?! A badass ethereal remix of TGWDLM for who is revealed to be the one who caused it!?! This is Otho/ Poky's theme and I love it!!!!
It took me several days, and lots of speed ups, but as far as I know, I now caught up to all Hatchefield lore, and I'm absolutely losing my mind over all of this. I love all the characters that got their time to shine in this series, and I really hope to see more with time. Its such a ride to watch this series, and I really want to watch other of Starkids works. I got wrecked emotionally a few times and had a lot of laughs. All because of Dead Meat and Tumblr. But yeah, incredible series, I really, really love it, and god, it made me love musicals even more.
I love that channels like Dead Meat and Wait In The Wings are bringing new people to Starkid!! I’ve been a fan since 2011 but I dropped off for a while, and the Kill Count for TGWDLM is the thing that convinced me to come back and watch the Hatchetfield series.
I watched TGWDLM prior to the Kill Count on Dead Meat (loved the episode btw) and now I'm ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with Hatchetfield and Team Starkids in general. I only discovered them back in September (it's 1st April 2024) and still getting through they're content whether I get the chance. I'm looking forward to their brand-new musical 'Cinderella's Castle' (title was announced recently) and especially Nightmare Time 3 that will be coming out eventually. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I love how Lex's song at the beginning had some similar melodic bits to 'Black Friday'. For example 'you were so so convincing with your hair' is the same melody as 'the plans for my father's hopeless seed'
This really is a perfect mix of everything that makes Nightmare Time so cool; almost felt like reading a superhero comic. The background music whenever Otho appears referencing TGWDLM being so eerie was a great touch. And the ending song being about being hopeful of different timelines is so nice (kind of like a second part of Tomorrow will come which is more of a weird mix of despair and hope)
I really hope the new cast members stick around for the stage shows -- they're really engaging, and I look forward to seeing what they can do when given room to stretch out!
Wait, the 5 lords in black represent the senses Pokey Is hearing, Wiggly is touch, Nibbly is taste, Blinky is sight, Which leaves tinky as smell. The problem is that tinky doesn't really fit smell, but he is the only one with a nose so I guess it makes sense?
For some reason I was reluctant to rewatch Nightmare Time, but the Halloween stream pushed me to it and god, I'm so glad I did. I honestly forgot how good these stories are.
I just realized Lauren is playing Hannah, AND I’M SO EXITED!! Future me, what do you think?🎤 Future me: OMG IT WAS AMAZING!!! Rollercoaster of emotions. And the last part😭
i love the musical callbacks to other nightmare time episodes in the background of certain scenes, like the Blinky Song playing when Hannah and Ethan are in Pizza Pete’s
Hannah is my favorite character please do not hurt her Edit: ETHAN N O THIS IS WORSE. THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE TIMELINE. First Miss Holloway and now Ethan, is nothing sacred
I always love Matt's music in the background of these stories, all the musical leit motifs and returning tunes from previous songs. The stories are awesome, the characters are awesome and the actors are incredible, but Nightmare Time for me is defined by Matt's backing tracks.
I know I'm two years late to commenting on Yellow Jacket, but can we TALK about Angela's vocals on the intro? She's so RAW. I'm gonna put that intro on a fucking playlist, I stg!
Just watching this makes me feel like i’m watching a documentary about the real struggles of life and just knowing that you’re never alone, these people are great actors
cannot stress enough the extent to which this is Biblically Accurate ethan to me like i know robert manion's version of the character has been around longer but something about joey's makes me go yeah that's ethan. like this is his essence
i lowkey hate how i put off watching nightmare time due to the format but s2 really shows how it couldn't work on stage and this was phenomenal. Hopefully nightmare time 3 can happen because this world and it characters are some of my favorites and it's a joy to watch play out with the talented members of starkid! Also i cried so much like this is one of the happier hatchetfield ends but god damn did it hurt. Thank y'all for all you're work and effort you put out for us!
here after NPMD and I just binge-watched all the NMTs, so amazing! These were incredible to watch and it's obvious that so much time and care went into every one of them, I wish there were more views! Kudos to everyone who worked on these projects
I really REALLY enjoyed the shift from stage play acting (over the top, loud, a bit too expressive) to a more film-like acting (calm, intimate, but still very expressive). It was heartbreaking. I hope Led, Ethan and Hannah aren't gone for good. I know 2 of the 3 are either in school, or out of the club, but Lauren did a great Hannah, and Joey did a great Ethan.
YES! i’ve been waiting for Pokey to show up ever since season one and i’m so happy to finally see him and get confirmation that he is indeed the entity from TGWDLM!! though i do question why his influence tends to come from space rather than just already being permeated into hatchetfield the way his siblings are. in TGWDLM his influence was released when a meteor struck down, and here he was discovered in a meteor out in orbit. is he perhaps just younger than his siblings and they all came to earth this way? does he just like space?
God, I thought after the end of Killer Track I couldn't be any more emotionally devastated. And then the end of this episode topped it. That letter hurt my heart. Good luck Fosters, stay safe.
Holy SHIT the cold chill settling in my stomach as Lex gets overrun by the Blue Shit ™ and the piano slowly picks up the tempo until it becomes recognizable as the intro the tgwdlm is unparalleled
I've been watching everything out of order... this is the first time in a while that I've seen Angela play someone other than Grace Chasity, and it's really nice to see her in another role.
Angela is so good. She's SO naturally hilarious and unhinged, but she can play such a raw character like Lex and have it be so believable
Exactally why I love her so much, like, the fact angela can go from being this character of Lex to the feral guinea pig she is at smosh. I love the many different sides that she shows. It's like in black friday, and in this video, she's able to play such a raw character, and then she's so herself in smosh. Live laugh love Angela giarratana 🫶
DUDE the “join us and die” theme playing when hannah notices the private viewing box is SUCH a cool detail!!!
It also plays when she fights the different "Otho" in the match - which was also a nice detail I noticed the first-time I watched the scene. Especially showing that IT has the Upper-hand during the first half of the fight, until Lex pops in and saves the day (with help from Webby of course).
omg its also the “let it out theme” playing when shes about to let him take over, right before lex comes in
Y'know usually it breaks my immersion when a character is played by someone else than they were before but Joey as Ethan is actually pretty great casting

small HC because i have hatchetfield brainrot
besides the gift, i feel webby feels so connected to Hannah because at some point she could be playful and actually have fun with someone
based on that one scene and how Hannah confided in her across the diff installments, its clear that she would play all sorts of little roles and characters to entertain Hannah, she tried her hardest to make her smile or laugh through all the pain of life
to be funny and dependable, even if it was a lot of distractions from all the awfulness of the black and white,
trying to provide a sense of relief and escapism fo Hannah, and maybe even herself (i feel its implied with how nick describes her genuinely feeling ashamed when Hannah snaps at her in this ep)
Webby, like the other guides/adults in Hannah's life, sees her growing up too fast and becoming so hardened by her circumstances
and being the (presumed youngest) and only queen of the black and white, with the lords in black as her ""brothers"", that can make for some truly eldritch levels of trauma we cant even qualify lmao
the whole she needed Hannah more than Hannah ever needed her
It's a nice contrast from her *brothers* lol

I just realized that at the end of killer track Duke is trying to get the school to pay for Hannah's medical bills. I didn't even realize that until I went back and watched it.
Also pokey was the monster in killer track probably
@@SirGiradon283 oo, was there any indication of this? I didn't see any blue slime or such...
If it's just typing the event, I'd say Tinky is more likely. You're not really bringing people together just because they all die from the same thing. Meanwhile, the whole invading your mind and do what you think contrary to how you might want to act, and the whole existential breakdown of this is very T'noy Karaxis to me, 7"#0; (4&4/15.
@@SirGiradon283 I think it was Tinky since there was goat imagery and it seems like something they would do
@@honeycomb690 my general opinion is Blinky because of the Blinklotep line in the actual killer track song
@@TheWitherEmpire maybe they collaborated?
Gonna cry forever over Lex's note to Ethan
it’s devastating
Omg my heart broke!! Damn you Starkid!!!!😭😭😭
And the part when Ethan is in the kitchen and the water starts to drip. I started bawling, I’m so devastated😢
SPOILERS
Why is the Webby sleepover so funny to me. When Webby poked her head in to ask if Webby wanted a snack and then Webby told her to get out I laughed so hard.
One thing we can all agree on; Webby was the best character in that scene
@@mattwood1562 No but the thing is I really felt Webby stood out in that scene way more than Webby. Im sorry.
@@whowouldseekemployment8342 I actually liked Webby more, she was so underrated!
@@beefoster7623 personally, I liked Webby the best, but Webby was pretty funny too
Imagine taking out a dark god, only to be on the run from thugs and debt collectors.
okay but is no one gonna talk about how ethan greene is everyone's best boyfriend? and joey did such a great job with him, he's so endearing, imperfections and all
He really is just a lovable doofus.
maybe its bc this ep has the most development for ethan, but i personally prefer joey’s portrayal than to robert’s

@@bosstoober8782 Anyone who says otherwise is a lier.
General McNamara in the opening had me grinning from ear to ear. And then the rest of the episode managed to top that.
So glad someone mentioned him! I was waiting for him to show up like "where's my dad" but it's okay that he didn't
when does he appear
nevermind i found him
Where does he appear I can’t find him???
@@Musical_geek101 In the intro them right after the "where'd he go?"
Well that ending hurt like hell. God Lex and Hannah are my favorite characters in this universe. Angela is just an unbelievable actress. What an underrated piece this is
The fact that Pokey “Hates every voice that is not his own” makes me think he might even want to get rid of his fellow lords in black. A fight between all the lords would be interesting
Hmmm, that actually be interesting to see. Especially if they get their own Nightmare Time Episode or even their own musical about "Drowsy Town".
I fully believe the lords in black only don't go for each other is because they have countless timelines to mess with so they never really get in each others way. if they were confined to one universe I think they'd fight one another for full control.
Angela is such an incredible actress I can’t get over how naturalistic she is
Ikk when she started actually crying my heart broke🥲
it's such a payoff seeing the blue goo and the meteor from tgwdlm getting tied into the growing hatchetfield canon. you guys are killing it with these stories!
It's crazy cause the piwers work the same yet, the figire just shows it comes to earth a different way to win
IK I was thinking that tgwdlm was kind of stand alone in all to the hatchfield cannon but that was such a great reveal
How did I not notice that???? I feel enlightened
not to mention webby mentions pokey's been freed before!!!! i think this ties into him being "sealed" in the meteor and attempting to return to hatchetfield in various ways - cause in tgwdlm the meteor crashed, while in this timeline scientists visited that materials and brought the "blue shit" back
hannah’s evolution from “two doors, not one” to “not two, one”
The Otho reveal during the Hannah/Spitfire fight was so goods, got full body chills from the way he said "Hannah"
Because it’s EXACTLY like Wiggly says it…
Here after Workin’ Boys was released on digi ticket & Nick said NMT3 is coming if the views on NMT2 went up & I’m shocked at how they’re not at 100k. These are INCREDIBLE stories & immense acting with absolute bangers. NMT3 is apparently pro shot as well so they’ll be short movies!? I come watch these all the time, they’re so good & i NEED more
Wait, NMT3 might be coming? Hell yeah!
@@autisticandproudsnephew3636 yes! Nick said in the halloween livestream that NMT3 has stories all done for it but they aren’t going to produce it unless NMT2 gets some more love, which I’m shocked it hasn’t!
@@autisticandproudsnephew3636only if they see that people want it, so by watching and rewatching nmt 2 and getting the views up!!!
Time to rewatch!!
oh my god i NEED nmt3…
I love how you can hear an almost ominous version of the instrumental of the lyrics “Will tomorrow come? Will tomorrow not come?” sometimes when Hannah is the focus
It's like her theme or something
This season was a lot more wins for the protagonists than usual, to be fair. The nighthawks didn't take over, nor did the Killer Track; Frank Pricely made it out alive, as did the main Abstinence Camp campers; and Hannah, Lex, and Webby worked together to kill the elder god that so easily took over the world in the first Hatchetfield installment. Sure, Nibbly ate Linda, but she's a (lovable) villain anyways. It's a much higher loss ratio on the side of the antagonists than last season.
I don't know; can Emma really be said to have a "win" at the end given that they're arrested? I guess it's better than being enslaved by the nighthawks, but it still doesn't seem like a desirable outcome. And "Abstinence Camp" ends with the main characters still being held at the camp by someone threatening them with an axe; it's just that now it's Grace doing that instead of Lumber Axe. And unlike Emma and Zigs, Frank does *not* escape slavery.
One could argue this season has less victories for protagonists since it only has this one and "Killer Track" wheras the last one had "The Hatchetfield Ape-Man", "Watcher World" *and* "The Witch In The Web."
I don’t know if exactly a ‘win’ for Frank though
It doesn’t matter how many wins the other protagonists had if Linda lost 😭
I also don't think they "killed" the god itself per se. They destroyed his only fully viable physical vessel at the time, but there's nothing stopping him from (sooner or later) getting another one, probably with Charlie's help. Otho was (allegedly) just the thing that got created with a bit of Pokey's goo from a meteor. Still a win, relatively speaking, of course.
BUT GERALD 😭
This whole episode is just insanely good but can we appreciate how well Curt Mega embodies Eddie? Peak sleaze. So slimy. I love it.
Ethan had such a glowup from the moment they chose Joey Ritcher to play him
1:41:16 Well, as Sensei Bill taught us: If you take out the head, the whole thing goes down
This needs more likes
Be careful he might kick your head
Watch out for that sweeping crane kick
i was honestly kind of upset that we didn’t get kendall playing hannah in this one, but even though her voice and face were obviously completely different i think lauren absolutely nailed the character, she was so good
Oh shit Pokotho! So that explains the bee theme this entire season! Hive mind!
OM god that makes soooo much sense the whole apotheosis hive mind thing mirrors like the hive kind of bees!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 arghhhhh!!! genius!!!!
OHHHH
OH H H H H H
g e n I u s
o shit there WAS a bee theme!
Ah, the true horror, the American Healthcare system
Gah, that character is so creepy. Starkid really upped their game with the costumes for this season.
Fun fact: that’s the creature behind the zombie apocalypse in ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals’
Another fun fact: that’s not actually a costume, according to the episode talkbacks from November that’s a puppet controlled by Nick Lang, just like Lumber-Axe was in Episode 2!
@@laurenherb3899
Holy shit, that’s even more impressive!
@@laurenherb3899 oh, the Lumber-Axe was a puppet? Wow...I thought it was just a crazy well made mask.
@@dragon1130 same here!
I just know inevitably something awful is going to happen to Hannah and I'm not mentally prepared
OHHHHH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
Uh, about that...
What a downer of a ending
Spoilers below
Well the good news is, they escaped from the awful! The bad news is, they are now separated from Ethan and are now on the run from Charlie.
Well given that her actress has quit the acti rofessionf r a while to concentrate on her studies, we may not see her for a while in any future starkid thing (unless thy gt someone else to fill in the role)
I actually kinda find the fighting rink wholesome? Because like- the kids aren’t butt hurt that they are made to fight each other, they just do it and then hang out with no hard feelings. They form like some kinda friend group? Also, 1:22:42
I say noooooooooo to the status quoooooooo
i’ll eat them *right, the fuck up*
Once again, Curt Mega absolutely killing it as both and actor but definitely editing too! Also, Joey as Ethan and Lauren as Hannah were both incredible. And oh my god Bryce as Spitfire crushed it!!!
I wanna see Spitfire in a Hunger Games, with or without powers. Or as part of the Percy Jackson universe. She is definitely a BAMF.
Now, we've properly seen all of the Lords in Black and not only that, we now know we already saw one in TGWDLM. Since he was dominating people without it here Pokey made the conscious choice to make his world domination into a musical and that makes him the best Lord In Black.
So true. I honestly watched nmt2 after kinda losing my interest in starkid, just bc I saw Yellow Jacket’s thumbnail
That was 100% the influence of crashing into the theatre. The first people possessed were theatre kids, so Pokey was just like, “Huh. This is how they communicate? Weird, but Imma go with it 🤷🏼♂️”
@@mattwood1562 Honestly that's kinda what I was seriously thinking too :P
Though the thing about matching his frequency makes me think that music is still a part of it to a degree?
(Also how the dolls were "sing-along pokeys"; probably meant as just a TGWDLM in-joke, but you could take it as an in-universe hint too :P)
@@Idran Pokey defintively seem to have a thing about voices/music. In TGWDLM the professor did tell the zombies had a special gland to communicate through harmonic vibrationa nd here we see him do the frequency thing so it seems voice is a bit of a theme with him.
To be honest I am not sure if pokey was the one in TGWDLM or was it actually just a hive mind alien but it does seem like they are teasing pokey to be the one in that so it would make sense
Great subtle social commentary by the way, how unexpected hospital bills can ruin lives.
Aw, I'm still in the beginning, but I just wanted to say that Ethan is such a sweet guy. I kept waiting for him to turn out to be part of the problem, but he didn't get upset with Lex, even when she threw the wrench, and then when she was all stressed wiht her test and he says anything you forgot I'll take care of, knowning she forgot Hannah's birthday, and then he was being so sweet with Hannah taking her to do something fun for her birthday even though they are obviously tight on cash. Lex and Hannah are lucky to have him in their lives. I hope those 3 are ok.
Aw that one ended kinda sad. Ethan was a good guy, he really would have said no to Charles regardless of the amount of money, not that I think Charles would have let it go, but still, he really did love Hannah and Lex and was trying to be the dad Hannah needed and the partner Lex needed. Too bad he didn't just take Hannah to Vegas and hit Megabucks. Well, guess that can't happen when you live in Hatchetfield.
Anyone else groan when Frank appeared with his "Excuse me, Alexandra". Good job, Corey, 'cause I'm not a fan of Frank - like - at all; even knowing the hell he's suffering through. How can I feel sorry for a man and despise him all at the same time.
He sucks, but nobody deserves to be blackmailed by an elder demon powered 40yo manchild.
@@rvawildcardwolf2843 I mean... of course not, but "Peace on Earth, and lot's of money! Moneymoneymoney! All for me...
How is every episode better then the last? Every time I feel like "Yes my new favorite Nightmare Time episode" a new one comes out and I'm like "Yes my new favorite Nightmare Time episode" repeat and repeat again lol
To be fair they keep reaching new heights of expectations and deliver on it.
@@belgarath6388 so true!
same XD
"Next Time" is a perfect bookend to TGWDLM. Is it a lovely show closer from Team Starkid letting us know that Nightmare Time 3 is inevitable and we'll all see each other again real soon? OR is it a lovely anthem sung by Pokotho's puppets relaying the threat that he's still out there and world domination is just one good plan away? It's both. Another great run of Nightmare Time. I as always am watching. Sweet dreams, my fellow Dikrats.
I thought it was Webby assuring Hannah that they will beat the Lords in Black somehow in some timeline
it feels so much like a goodbye its making me sadddd
@@thejellyfinn maybe they are saying goodbye to Nightmare Time as we know it? With the announcements they've done recently it seems they are going into a new era of Starkid. The Hatchetfield universe isn't going anywhere, but with Nerdy Prudes Must Die it looks like they are going into a new phase with this whole thing, specially with going back to on stage shows and stuff
@@daniellins4114 Would make sense, Nightmare time was very myuch a thing tey threw together because with the pandemic they couldn't do musicals, it was never meant to last very long. I'm glad it got it's two seasons still.
@@daniellins4114 i know this reply was a year ago but i wanted to say in case anyone else sees this and worries about it, but they do have plans for a nightmare time 3!!! they even dropped all the potential story summaries in their halloween stream post npmd youtube release. but they said that theyd only do it if the views on nmt2 can increase, bc it'll let them know that more people want a nmt3!! not sure if its still a zoom format or irl filming, bc obv if its filming or in person itll be harder to gather everyone around.. i think theyre still figuring that out
Jesus, Angela is such a good dramatic actress.
i love when webby says a line soon to be said by ruth
"it's my headgear, don't bully me!"
It's so sad! Mostly for Ethan...he didn't do anything wrong, but still "life get's shitty sometimes".
I dont mind casting changes at all I'm very understanding lol but I hope there are no problems with Kendall. That kid is very talented and was a great addition to the cast
She was just busy with school! They mentioned it during the live chat :)
@@heathermorton3598 oh cool. thank you!
@@herz5159 Yeah, I think Ive read smth about her starting acting/music college this fall so shes got loads to do
Who did Kendall play?
@@CW-xn1ot She plays Hannah (and also Tim Houston) but like was said upthread, she was busy with school when Yellow Jacket was filmed
Ethan ist genuinely my most favorite character in the whole Hatchetfield universe.
He just cares so much about Lex and Hannah while being such a lovable idiot. Absolute gem of a character.
SPOILERS
Can we just talk about how when Otho was about to absorb Hannah, the song playing was Let It Out? Because that's awesome.
I have to be completely honest and say that it took me a long time to sit and watch these masterpieces just bc these were not live plays. I should've known that SK NEVER disappoints! Loving every single episode and i have to admit that I was always at the edge of my seat.
I wanna know more about Holloway. It made sense to me the fact that she signs and plays the guitar when I remembered that in one of the episodes she was asked for an autograph when going back in time with Hannah, and it was during the 80's.
omfg me too bro i put these off for so long, then watched NPMD with my sister and went "Eh what the heck"
I'm still trying to watching most of these episodes as a whole (some I've only seen bits & pieces of). I'm just waiting the right time to watch any of these episodes, once I've got a clean slate and have a nice relaxing time. Although, I have chunks & pieces of most of the episodes (except for F&A, TB and Jane's a Car) and have enjoyed these episodes/stories full of laughs and shocks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch the whole series whenever I get the chance.
Edit:...
So for anyone the is still unsure if pokey was responsible for tgwdlm he definitely was. His mind control is a little different between this and tgwdlm but that’s probably because he doesn’t have his full power. As stated in the video they found a meteor (the same one from tgwdlm) and used the goo they found inside combining it with human dna creating this form we see him take. But the most likely reason he decided to take on a musical mind control was probably because he landed in the theatre causing some sort of influence and that’s all the lords in black starting with Pokey and ending NT2 with Pokey what a journey
And just to add, "Join Us And Die" is also playing here (1:20:30) just to hammer home that it is in fact connected to TGWDLM
Okay but like, who else 100% was not ready for Joey's Ethan Green? Like yes I knew it'd be Joey but- That hair, the earring, the EVERYTHING just- beautiful. 10/10.
1:30:45 Can we talk about how freaking epic the underscoring is right here!?! A badass ethereal remix of TGWDLM for who is revealed to be the one who caused it!?! This is Otho/ Poky's theme and I love it!!!!
Was legitimately tearing up at the end there, sooo good. Angelas acting really got me in the feels
At the start-ish with the boxing match with the pale man with blue veins, I immediately thought
I AM JAGERMAN
OMIGOSH
It took me several days, and lots of speed ups, but as far as I know, I now caught up to all Hatchefield lore, and I'm absolutely losing my mind over all of this. I love all the characters that got their time to shine in this series, and I really hope to see more with time. Its such a ride to watch this series, and I really want to watch other of Starkids works. I got wrecked emotionally a few times and had a lot of laughs. All because of Dead Meat and Tumblr. But yeah, incredible series, I really, really love it, and god, it made me love musicals even more.
I love that channels like Dead Meat and Wait In The Wings are bringing new people to Starkid!! I’ve been a fan since 2011 but I dropped off for a while, and the Kill Count for TGWDLM is the thing that convinced me to come back and watch the Hatchetfield series.
I watched TGWDLM prior to the Kill Count on Dead Meat (loved the episode btw) and now I'm ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with Hatchetfield and Team Starkids in general. I only discovered them back in September (it's 1st April 2024) and still getting through they're content whether I get the chance. I'm looking forward to their brand-new musical 'Cinderella's Castle' (title was announced recently) and especially Nightmare Time 3 that will be coming out eventually. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I love how Lex's song at the beginning had some similar melodic bits to 'Black Friday'. For example 'you were so so convincing with your hair' is the same melody as 'the plans for my father's hopeless seed'
Ethan deserves better... Of all the bittersweet endings, this is the one that broke my heart the worst.
This really is a perfect mix of everything that makes Nightmare Time so cool; almost felt like reading a superhero comic. The background music whenever Otho appears referencing TGWDLM being so eerie was a great touch. And the ending song being about being hopeful of different timelines is so nice (kind of like a second part of Tomorrow will come which is more of a weird mix of despair and hope)
"In the kitchen, the faucet starts to drip" You're paying for my therapy starkid.
angela absolutely stole the show. such a stunning and heartbreaking performance. incredible.
I really hope the new cast members stick around for the stage shows -- they're really engaging, and I look forward to seeing what they can do when given room to stretch out!
This story gives me chills. Can't wait to see it again. The way in which this could easily be turned into a film. Oh wow.
It would definitely be a franchise!!!
@@runeclovegates TOTALLY!
A film? I want a BOOK SERIES ❤️
I'm sorry, but Curt in a cowboy hat and bolo tie is driving me absolutely FERAL!
Wait, the 5 lords in black represent the senses
Pokey Is hearing,
Wiggly is touch,
Nibbly is taste,
Blinky is sight,
Which leaves tinky as smell.
The problem is that tinky doesn't really fit smell, but he is the only one with a nose so I guess it makes sense?
I think I remember rotting food being mentioned in Time Bastard. The gross goat man seems like he’d be pretty stinky too. So… it could work?
Why is wiggly touch?
Tinky ->Stinky makes sense! Wiggly is indeed touch, "tickle-me-wiggly", remember?
@@masonzale9780 tickle-me wiggly
Tinky is described as having a stinky odor in Time Bastard. That's all that comes to mind though.
For some reason I was reluctant to rewatch Nightmare Time, but the Halloween stream pushed me to it and god, I'm so glad I did. I honestly forgot how good these stories are.
Lots of people are deterred from watching it because of the format but it is so worth watching I live nmt
I love Ethan so much honestly he’s clearly very caring and both a good boyfriend AND a good brother in law
The Solve It Squad reference with Benji, the kid who talks to dogs, SO cool.
"Oh, then why am I the QB?"
Because Max Jagerman died.
I just realized Lauren is playing Hannah, AND I’M SO EXITED!! Future me, what do you think?🎤
Future me: OMG IT WAS AMAZING!!! Rollercoaster of emotions. And the last part😭
Haha talking to your future self about the episode is so cute
@@herz5159 Especially since 0ThornsandRoses0 actually seems to be respectful to their future self, unlike Ted.
Lol, great interview right there 😂
Maybe a stretch but Pokey… like the Hokey Pokey? Where everybody joins in and follows the same moves?
Yes, that’s what it’s all about
The portrayal of pokey in this really makes me rethink the implications of tgwdlm
we were told to think of the implications
i love the musical callbacks to other nightmare time episodes in the background of certain scenes, like the Blinky Song playing when Hannah and Ethan are in Pizza Pete’s
Hannah is my favorite character please do not hurt her
Edit: ETHAN N O THIS IS WORSE. THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE TIMELINE. First Miss Holloway and now Ethan, is nothing sacred
It’s hatchetfiled
Obviously nothing is sacred
I mean this is the town with a time traveling homeless Ted spakowski a robot Emma and a clone Paul
@@Whiskers4169 you make a compelling argument 😔
"I'll find you in the next timeline" killed me on the spot _wow_
I always love Matt's music in the background of these stories, all the musical leit motifs and returning tunes from previous songs. The stories are awesome, the characters are awesome and the actors are incredible, but Nightmare Time for me is defined by Matt's backing tracks.
I know I'm two years late to commenting on Yellow Jacket, but can we TALK about Angela's vocals on the intro? She's so RAW. I'm gonna put that intro on a fucking playlist, I stg!
Not the Ruth coded Webby im sobbing
Just watching this makes me feel like i’m watching a documentary about the real struggles of life and just knowing that you’re never alone, these people are great actors
I remember crying at the last song. Bryce also KILLED it! my god, such talented, funny, beautiful people!
cannot stress enough the extent to which this is Biblically Accurate ethan to me like i know robert manion's version of the character has been around longer but something about joey's makes me go yeah that's ethan. like this is his essence
I feel the exact same way. I love Robert but he really didn’t embody the character to me and Joey… he IS Ethan
Seeing Joey play something other than a creep, was almost weird to me 😂
i lowkey hate how i put off watching nightmare time due to the format but s2 really shows how it couldn't work on stage and this was phenomenal. Hopefully nightmare time 3 can happen because this world and it characters are some of my favorites and it's a joy to watch play out with the talented members of starkid! Also i cried so much like this is one of the happier hatchetfield ends but god damn did it hurt. Thank y'all for all you're work and effort you put out for us!
here after NPMD and I just binge-watched all the NMTs, so amazing! These were incredible to watch and it's obvious that so much time and care went into every one of them, I wish there were more views! Kudos to everyone who worked on these projects
I'm heartbroken... this is such a great story. also ethan is the purest of boys!!! Thank to everyone for giving us such pretty pieces of art
I really REALLY enjoyed the shift from stage play acting (over the top, loud, a bit too expressive) to a more film-like acting (calm, intimate, but still very expressive). It was heartbreaking. I hope Led, Ethan and Hannah aren't gone for good. I know 2 of the 3 are either in school, or out of the club, but Lauren did a great Hannah, and Joey did a great Ethan.
OH. I know what Otho is. Holy shit, this was actually really clever. All the Hatchet universes colliding.
There were a lot of hints, but the biggest was "your apotheosis is upon you"
I guess Howard's time *did* run out.
YES! i’ve been waiting for Pokey to show up ever since season one and i’m so happy to finally see him and get confirmation that he is indeed the entity from TGWDLM!!
though i do question why his influence tends to come from space rather than just already being permeated into hatchetfield the way his siblings are. in TGWDLM his influence was released when a meteor struck down, and here he was discovered in a meteor out in orbit.
is he perhaps just younger than his siblings and they all came to earth this way? does he just like space?
It’s an eldrich god mate
You never know what they do
Maybe that meteor is the one that strikes the starlight theater later on
Space has no sound but your own thoughts. He hates all voices that aren't his own.
@@corneliusdwyer1824oh nice catch
angela is such a friggin good actress I’m gonna cry
God, I thought after the end of Killer Track I couldn't be any more emotionally devastated. And then the end of this episode topped it. That letter hurt my heart. Good luck Fosters, stay safe.
the title image is super creepy, hats off to the practical effects team I'm excited!
I just want a guy like Ethan 😭 hes so wholesome and sweet even though everyone says hes a criminal deadbeat. He just genuinely loves Lex and Hannah
Holy SHIT the cold chill settling in my stomach as Lex gets overrun by the Blue Shit ™ and the piano slowly picks up the tempo until it becomes recognizable as the intro the tgwdlm is unparalleled
I've been watching everything out of order... this is the first time in a while that I've seen Angela play someone other than Grace Chasity, and it's really nice to see her in another role.
Probably my favorite prop is Ethan using an Iphone as a pew pew. Now thats what we call versatile
I absolutely loved this and it's awesome to finally see Pokey doing things directly but still clearly see how he works and worked in TGWDLM
"the faucet starts to drip" at the end fucking got me man...
I just realized that it's probably called "Sing-Alone Pokey" because in tgwdlm it makes them sing as the hive mind
23:56
The first thing I thought of was Ride The Cyclone when I heard the name 😭
