Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Take 86! | Chapter Discussion about the All Souls Trilogy; Chapter 17 of The Book of Life

This chapter serves the reader a buffet of events to focus on...

Take 86 - The One Without a Titular Event

Description: The twins, the library research, the lab discoveries, mystery characters -- oh my! Yes, with all of this we couldn't come up with a good title, so we did a "Hail Mary"! Better luck next episode! Enjoy.

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'

Chapter 17, The Book of Life

  • “The hard work of becoming” — we love Deb’s writing in this chapter
  • We learn that Diana would be grounded after October 1st! she’s got a deadline!
  • Marcus’s junk DNA theories weren’t junk after all!
  • No word from Benjamin yet. πŸ‘Ή
  • Sympathy for the Devil ringtone signals that brother Baldwin is checking in
  • We thought this was a rather mild conversation with Baldwin
  • Baldwin knows ALL.

  • Phone? SMASH!πŸ“±
  • Enter Gallowglass — we notice Matthew all of a sudden gets possessive 
  • Gallowglass is besotted with Apple and Bean (?)
  • Lucy and Diana are at it again.
  • “The Transfer of Property,” in Matthew and Gallowglass’s case requires an escape plan.
  • Was Lucy taking Diana at her word on events that Diana witnessed while time walking
  • Jean informs that the Vatican is notorious for “losing things”
  • Matthew calls the library and an annoyed librarian is the gatekeeper . . . 😑

  • Lucy is invited to the lab…
  • Gallowglass escorts both of them to the lab
  • Miriam: “I WON!’
  • Chris: “MORE DATA!”
  • The page from A782 is fluctuating in weight. Weird! Maybe not if it’s a “magical container”
  • Diana: Humans, not so dumb after all!🀨
  • Obtaining creature DNA will be challenging.
  • Gallowglass offers Marcus’s children. Matthew forgot to disclose this fact
  • Thanks to Chris, we picture Miriam after dark 🍷

* 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?"
This was a Daemon Production
