9.4 - "Constantly Shooting Himself"

Jenny and Ted discuss Sentinel 9.4.

Episode Notes:

• Kid Win has no name
• Ted makes a formal apology
• One of the objectively best things that happens in all of Worm
• The problems in Brockton Bay are stacking up
• Kid Win: really smart, actually
• So why does he not think so?
• And how much is it Armsmaster's fault?
• Maybe he just needs a gimmick
• Slaughterhouse Nine origin theories
• Maybe Kid Win is just a victim of the hero narratives
• Kid Win also lacks connections
• Like Taylor, he’s planning to reinvent himself… eventually
• Even if he was the weakest Ward he would still have plenty to contribute and be worthy of our esteem!
• We came away with different impressions of how risky what Trickster did to Vista was
• Theories about who is steering the Chariot
• Uhhhhhhhhh don’t you need a warrant for that, Kid Win?
• Why are we having a Wards interlude anyway?
• What’s in a (not being called by your) name?
• “Compact”
• Hard light
• Lily fits in and Weld becomes a better manager
• A new ship name
• The people of the Bay
• Kid Win makes a decision he doesn’t regret
• Predictions!
