I'm actually so gullible that I genuinely thought that was Seance Dog that had somehow gotten to their dimension. That entire explanation he was trying to say had already convinced me lmao. Really hoping Nolan was a part of that brainstorm to try and dupe Mark into coming

Also how is Debbie that surprised one of the support group was someone who's partner was murdered by Omni-Man? She already knows Olga suggested it in the first place, and I guess there was no fish-wife there, but she had to have at least suspected that would be a possibility. I guess she's still dealing with the inability to equate the Nolan that she knew for 20 years, and the Omni-Man that murdered thousands

Yeah Seance Dog I probably would have fell for or at least heard it out. The bug person leading Mark to a potential trap is something that went off in my head immediately - I'm shocked Cecil didn't open with that.

I mean alternate dimension? I would have been way more suspicious that it was a plot by Levy getting an ally of a character exactly like Mark's favorite comic book.

I mean, isn't he as far as Mark knows, dead?

Only we as the audience have seen him leaving the rubble alive.

Out of universe is what I meant.

But than it would be strange that Armstrong knew about it.

Lol yeah he trusted a random alien insect more than he trusted Seance Dog, which is kind of strange. Maybe Seance Dog was just too good to be true.

bruh the random alien insect is the freaking creepy "shape shift sam" or whatever that was with that guardians. That shapeshifting alien terror is just looking for THE STRONGEST VECTOR to spread their horror!!! ITS WHAT THE MARTIANS WERE WARNING ABOUT IT WAS ALLUDED TO IN THE EPISODE!!!!

Probably just too coincidental. Like my favorite superhero is Batman, and if Batman just showed up at my door I would be very suspicious. Like out of all the fictional superheroes in the entire universe, the one I like most just shows up with some bullshit explanation? No way. I'm being pranked or something.
