Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000 Episode 15


Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’/you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
tell me what you know about them night terrors every night / 5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies

-Don Quixote

Puella Magi Pathfinder Magica


For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a deconstructionist magical girl show about magical girls who fight monsters called "Witches" in exchange for a wish. There's very little more than I can say about it than it's visually stunning, has a great soundtrack, and has a mature, engaging story that is tragic, but never becomes grimdark. If you have any interest whatsoever in this show, GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW, as this class contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the series.

Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000 Episode 13





===2500 BC===

Gilgamesh: Well, it took me a whole week, but I finally achieved my dream of to building a life-sized statue of myself entirely out of toothpicks and playing cards. And several thousand years before either of those things were invented! Servants! *clap clap*

Random Servant #1: Yes, my lord?

Gilgamesh: I need one of you to invent ice cream so that I may have it with dinner tonight, so that I may celebrate my glorious achievements, and have the other servants get to work on inventing glue to hold the statue together. Untill then I don't want anyone coming within a thousand cubits of it, do you understand?

Random Servant #1: Yes, your highness, I will protect it with my very life!


*Tardis Noises. Time machine lands on statue of Gilgamesh.*

Karkat Vantas: YOU CALL THAT A LANDING?!

Jake English: Sorry, it seems that the old girl pulls a bit to the left.
