Who are the hosts of 'The Prestige TV Podcast'?
That was not great.
Did a murder. Which are you picking?
The gun is bad. But look, I've been hard on Guy Talk. I've been skeptical of his ability to read the room. Yeah. We're going to give him some grace today. Not in the professional sense, but at least in the personal sense. Professionally, he might be the worst person at this job in the entire hotel, like in terms of fulfilling his specific capacity. Very, very bad at his job.
I can't defend it. I'm not inclined to. Okay. However, personally, where are you on Muka and Gaitak?
I think we just have to look at the facts of this episode, which is Mook is reciprocating, I would say, in a degree that is slightly different than in previous episodes. She is flagging him down. She is pursuing him, wanting him to come watch her dance. She is swinging by in her dancing outfit just to show it off a little bit.
And I will say her initial response to being asked out on the date I read is like, oh, I'm not sure that she ever actually agreed to it before to rush off. But it seems like later in the episode, we have some confirmation that they are planning for a date.
Okay, so date, come watch me dance. She looks so beautiful and cute in her dancing regalia.
The golden hour sunbeams behind her head. The whole scene is coming together, and I will say this. We got many, many great emails from people kind of walking us through some of the specifics of... Yeah. Based on that read, it does seem like they're kind of falling into those modes.
They are sort of giving a very familiar presentation, which might let Guy talk off the hook as far as my previous concerns about how he would react if Mook wasn't as interested as he was.
