The Garnet Wager: Recent Episodes

I am going to spoil The Devil's Plan Season 1 right now. I am warning you, look away if you don't want to see a spoiler for the show. It's a high level spoiler but it is definitely a spoiler.
We never even learned what the guy's freakin' plan was! What the hell!
A big shoutout to our guest actors on this one, Magellan and Kyrie!

As we spin towards the end of The Devil's Plan, mysteries abound. Like, why did they pick this title for the show? Is it relevant at all? It certainly isn't so far! But there's cause for excitement with these eps, and hopefully JJK & crew can stick the landing.

Revolution is in the air as everyone starts to turn on ORBIT's populist strategy... including ORBIT?! Prison changes people, a strange room nerfs the IQ of its occupants, and sometimes us older folks get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The Devil's Plan is past the halfway point, building to a climax, and while it's not the show we hoped for at the beginning, they might be salvaging it for a decent landing.

Devil's Plan stock is rising! Probably. Six and Allen are certainly hotter on these eps, even if Nick is less confident. After a treacherous main match, Nick blows up with his frustrations at how the games are run, and then we all get to calm down with some nice guava and avocado for a special spelling game. ...Hang on have I had a guava before? I've definitely had like, guava in STUFF, as a natural or artificial flavoring. Maybe also a juice? Have I had guava juice?
wow if you google that it brings up a children's youtuber?????? i guess he just retired, take care of yourself ?friend? (i do not claim this man, i truly know nothing about him)

The honeymoon is over. This time on The Garnet Wager, we watch two episodes of The Devil's Plan because we're desperate for material, there's infighting, there's bitterness. See what you've done to us, Netflix?

God was not willing. That was not quite the end of an era. But we went from four months down to two, and next we'll go from two to one! Mark my words. With episode 2, we conclude the first day of The Devil's Plan, and... hey wait. There is literally a character called The Devil. What do you think the odds are that he has a plan of note? Or is just a fun name?
I guess time will tell.

A big and very special thank you to our guest voice Magellan.
God willing, this episode marks the end of an era. The era of these episodes taking FOREVER. We're planning to get on a more regular schedule- probably monthly, but no promises. Let's solve a mystery, gang. Let's watch a new show. Let's find out it's REALLY GOOD. We're so back.

Well, we were feeling a bit down on the show we'd chosen to watch last episode. But this time, we had a much better time! Turns out, a little time and a positive attitude is all you need! Meanwhile, in the tabletop game, Allen and Nick are closer than ever, but FEEL more lost than ever. How will our GM get them back on the trail?! Well I don't know, I'll have to figure that out before next ep though....

On this episode of Society Game... well. Look above. You might get the picture. In wake of this, we resort to drastic measures to keep the episode discussion segment lively. But the mystery needs no such help.

Well, see... NOW it's a season of The Garnet Wager. I (Six) may not be any hotter on the show we're covering than last time, but the plot threads are being woven. We're solving a murder. We're talking to (fictitious) government officials. And who could forget the semi-headless chicken.

The Garnet Wager returns to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Genius for another season of Korean TV, meta-narratives, and garbage. This season, we're watching Society Game, a product of the same mind that brought us The Genius. It's a slow start for this show, but perhaps this one can win us over. If not, well... I have some ideas, let's say.
