Dr. Krupp was terrified. In all his years of selling snake oil throughout the frontier — a figure he often exaggerated, but in truth amounted to no more than three years — he had seen many remarkable things but never had he seen Dr. Bartoleermere the Second’s Magic Elixir actually work. But it had happened. He had seen the little girl’s wound heal! And Dr. Krupp had no idea what to do next.
Such a cool chapter. Creepy. So good. I think seeing Archie react in fear made it all the scarier which was awesome. Another great episode leaving me wanting more! A nice long episode too!
"The closer comprehension seemed to be. It was like a word stuck on the tip of his tongue that he wished to spit forth into the world with a scream."
Yes. This. More of this. Such good prose. Love it!
Sticking with the austere professional production, and not adding a little echo on the dialog in that scene? I guess if you introduce that, then when else do you add effects and it just might have felt like opening Pandora's Box. Am I right?
What, no flooded mine after all? Then what insanity made that old man think it was flooded in the first place? (Literally!) Maybe the mine is still where it was, and now it is indeed flooded, due to the changed terrain? Just inaccessible to the miners. Or maybe the far older god turned the mine entrance into a magical gate to lead people into the temple, and all they need to do in order to bring back the precious silver is to kill that god?
Oh my God, DuMont is crazy. I guess Krupp deserves it considering that he was scamming people, but Jesus Christ!
Archie is so badass. He has solidified himself as my favourite character. If he dies I’m going to be so upset!
Happy new year!
