Oh! -t and Jen, did you listen to the latest Midnight Burger (the Patreon drop)???

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes! I am SO GLAD they mentioned it was the penultimate episode in the intro because I have gotten very lost. Although now I don't know if there's more Welcome to the Horizon (this season). I'm guessing no, but who knows?
And I actually wanted to say after the last Welcome to the Horizon that that Hovercraft song slaps

Tim and I thought it was the season finale, right until Joe said "penultimate." So that was exciting, like we were getting another episode as a treat!

There is not -- there's just the one more episode of Midnight Burger, but I feel like all the Hood's Pocket folks have to still be there, right? Like, this episode has to be Operation Rescue Frank, right? (Spoiler font for Jen.)

Motorbike!!! Hovercraft just dropped the hottest single of 2026!
But anyway, I cannot think of a better end to Kroc than the way this episode did it. Poetic, indeed. Joe Fisher, you magnificent bastard.
I mean, the mountain's not going anywhere for six months or whatever. Unless whoever Kroc was afraid of shows up, Frank's rescue seems like the most urgent thing...
I think the entity Kroc is afraid of has to be Chuck, right? He was introduced in season 2 and then popped up in season 3 again, but hasn't really been used much. I feel like it's time to bring Chuck back.
Ooh, interesting! That hadn't occurred to me, Steph! Kroc's end was perfect, oh my lord. I haven't had a relisten yet, but there were many delightful moments. Little thing, but the sound of Peter marching off to execute his battle task du jour makes me smile every time.

With his little shoes! Yes!
You know, I do hope we get to hear at least some of that softball game David proposed

That would be AWESOME.
