Towards the end of the episode, he says he knows exactly how it happened. That was the worst part of it, the silence.” He says he was “turned off” by the time it happened. He wasn’t in the loop, and he just waited for it to end. He says he didn’t know if TMTWATF lived or died, but that doesn’t matter anymore. The Reverend says he didn’t know TMTWATF, unless he had met him without knowing who he really was. Who was The Man They Were All There For (TMTWATF)? She rattles off several questions–he answers these after she asks them all, but for the purpose of this recap, I’ll rearrange to make things a bit more linear. He opens the floor to questions, and Lia wastes no time. What deadly voids and unbidden infidelities in the lines that seem to gnaw upon all Faith, and refuse resurrections to the beings who have placelessly perished without a grave. He quotes a passage from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick:
He asks Lia how she is, and comments that he’s glad Lia spoke with Winona, saying she’s “lost at sea,” the first of many oceanic references he makes. Instead of the scatter-brained, frantic tone Winona took on, The Reverend is calm and patient. His unflinching, almost tender relationship with death is contrasted with his warm, loving, casual demeanor. The Reverend has a commercial refrigerator filled with blood that he sells to hospitals in desperate need. The Reverend calls himself a salesman, which Lia calls cynical–but as the two enter his trailer, Lia finds this to be literal. Lia is able to give these details, she says, because days after their interview, The Reverend was killed by a drunk driver.
The Reverend’s sermon is both typical, in its emphatic delivery and choir, and atypical, in its proclamations of demystifying death, the subject of The Reverend’s gospel. The episode begins with Lia going to a pop-up sermon, listening to the gospel of a charismatic man–the survivor, a once-was large animal veterinarian Lia names as Warren Chambers, or as Lia calls him in the episode, The Reverend. “Episode 3: Napoleon”Įpisode 3 is the second interview with a survivor of Limetown. She says she left it in the episode, even though APR told her not to, in order to send a message: she won’t be stopped, and they can’t scare her into keeping quiet. After he bangs on her door, she calls the police, and is told he lost enough blood to have died–but his body is nowhere to be found. In “A quick apology,” Lia tells the listener she’s sorry for the graphic end to the previous episode, specifically regarding the Manic Man. This mini-episode is one of the few that breaks the flow of the narrative to directly speak to the listener. So, what happens in these episodes? “A quick apology”
