Take 60 - The One With the Favorite Son
Description: We've landed on an episode "on the tens!" We are diving into what we know, think, and speculate about Matthew's older brother, and Philippe's favorite son, Baldwin.SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind! Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way as episodes are released in the US/Canada. 😊 Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

- (1:00:55) Last thoughts/Outro.
Character Study - Baldwin Montclair
- We discuss Baldwin’s crashing into A Discovery of Witches (the novel), and Angela and Jean are forever changed.
- Hot Ginger Vampire is born!
- Michael Fassbender — what’s he got to do with this?! 💕
- Our fan-casting adventures in 2012 ...
- The Knights of Lazarus speech - it was full of history, and it gave us a picture of the Knight's duties and responsibilities; “The Knights don’t come to their master’s aid because of a love affair gone wrong, Matthew. We fought at the Battle of Acre. We helped the Albigensian heretics resist the northerners. [...]”
- The gambit speech did it for Jean. “The Congregation let you go for some reason of their own. Make your next move before they make theirs. Don’t wait your turn like a good girl, and don’t be duped into thinking your current freedom means you’re safe. Decide what to do to survive, and do it.”
- How we all relate to Baldwin
- We discuss the times we see Baldwin have emotions.
- We talk about Matthew’s non-reactions at some of Baldwin’s actions.
- Being made in Roman Times - Jean gives us a historical synopsis around the time Baldwin was turned.
- His love life! What we don’t know…what we do know!
- He was 30 when he was turned, he’s a Leo . . . there! We started his Tinder profile!
- Baldwin at some point grew tired of fighting, and started crushing empires via financial markets.
- We decided that in A Discovery of Witches, Baldwin was Philippe’s proxy.
- We talk about Baldwin’s personality vs. Philippe’s charm.
- Baldwin’s beliefs vs. Matthew's.
- Baldwin’s mind-set, and how he doesn’t prioritize emotions - low EQ is our diagnosis 🤔
- Our introduction to TV Baldwin!
- Trystan is rather expressive, facially.
- His entry into the congregation — that was a wonderful scene!
- The TV show bringing us new perspective into the book.
- Who on his phone contact list is labeled “What now?!” - we guess Ysabeau! 😂
- Jean wonders what triggered Baldwin to give up war and head to numbers . . .
- Angela cannot wait to get to the Book of Life and examine Baldwin some more. That's coming sooner than we think!

| Can't help but wonder if this is what one of Baldwin's relationships looks like? |

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
