and noticed that the institute contacted georgie as a followup to melanie’s first statement. jon refers to her as “georgina barker.”
what probably happened: jonny sims likely hadn’t decided yet that jon archivist dated georgie in college what this reads like: jon just being a fucking stone cold bastard and not acknowledging to anybody that he even knows this woman
I also just re-listened to this episode and I can’t decide which version I like more:
A: Jon called Georgie himself, they had a terribly stilted and elliptical conversation about it, Jon then recorded the follow-up and acts like it was a Proper Serious Interview.
B: Jon delegated this task to one of the others but refused to explain how he knew Georgie’s phone number, email, home address, etc. off the top of his head. Tim spent a week spreading rumors that Jon was some kind of crazed stalker fan. Jon utterly failed to notice this.
thinking of the time my kindergarten brother had to sound out and write “water bottle” for one of his homework answers and after a few minutes of intense focus he turned it to me and it said “wodl bodl”
someone: luke skywalker beat darth vader and ended the empire
everyone else in the galaxy:
everyone on tatooine:
Imagine being the local jock from Toshe Station and turning on the news to learn that the guy you called “Wormie” in desert high school just killed the two most powerful people in the galaxy.

#I think a lot about this #like the guy was a weird excitable nerd
#but you had to tolerate him because #INEXPLICABLY #he was STUPID good as a pilot #like the t-16 orbital drop whomp rat champion since he was 13 #so you couldn’t just IGNORE him and his fucking nerdery #and his being super awkward CONSTANTLY
#and one day his farm is burned and his family is dead #you assume he’s dead too and you feel kind of bad for mocking him now
#but then #space radio is like LUKE SKYWALKER BLEW UP A SPACE STATION #LUKE SKYWALKER KILLED THE EMPEROR
#and you just #kind hope he never decides to get revenge for the wormie thing
oh also turns out he came back to town and killed the mob boss who controlled everything and then left again without buzzing any of his former acquaintance so probably you’re Beneath his Notice; mixed feelings about that
What was it about OG Jonah Magnus that had men falling all over him??? Was it the evil? Was it the eyes? Was it the strange obsession with all things spooky???
I refuse to believe that all these guys were after him for his personality yet all the statements sent to him are all like “dearest Jonah, I’m your most loyal servant, It pains me terribly to have to end our intimate acquaintence”
They’re all just writing him thinly veiled love letters while they’re on their deathbeds, and for what? He doesn’t even help them out when they’re in mortal peril!
What was that all about? Was he just that hot? Did he have a killer voice??? Were they after him for his money?? His social status???? What was it!?!?! I need to know!!!!!
