Doug Eiffel is hilarious and deserves his own series of radio shows

(Or my reaction to Wolf359's three untitled mini episodes!)

Welcome back dear readers! I wish I could react to more full length episodes, but life in terms of health and work load has not been kind to me (yep. I'm sick again). Fortunately, I was informed that these mini episodes can be listened to at any time and they are fairly short, so I'm gonna give it a shot! (If I was misinformed and am about to have a ton of plot spoiled for me, I apologize in advance!)

Tagging the mutuals who got me invested in this, and if you want to be tagged or untagged from these posts, lmk, or you can follow my blog or simply follow the tag "#bods wolf359 reactions". Anyone who has followed me for a while knows my updates are inconsistent, so I apologize in advance for that and for any spelling/grammar mistakes in my posts.

Mini Episode: Adventure of a Lifetime

Ohhhh... a field trip into the mysterious rooms!

...this might not work out for you Doug, but I hope you find something useful.

Huh. Empty rooms. ...why do I get the feeling they aren't all empty?

Different shade of grey paint? Doug have you never played a video game? I mean, I haven't either, but even I know what that means.

Great, now he's locked in.

"I'm hungry, I didn't have breakfast, It's been five hours." WHY AM I DOUG 😂

Doug yeah the grey spot sounds pretty bad.

"Did you try pushing?" Hilbert is so done with him.

19 minutes? I'm not sure if that's funny because Doug is dramatic, or spooking because these rooms actually mess with time perception.

"You never mention this to anyone and I won't ask you what you're doing on this part of the station" Doug you really oughta be asking though.

Oh. That was it? Huh. Very short. I wonder what the next one has in store...

Mini Episode: Step One

Ah! More Doug! Why IS he going outside?

Hey, Doug. Do not speak badly about the commander. Trust me, the day will come when you realize Minkowski is the best commander you could ever have.

He stole her diary? Oh Doug...

"If this tape shows up in my murder trial, you'll know why I made this recording"

Imagine if Cutter tried to use this audio to frame Minkowski for Doug's death (he would. He'd drop it off at her husband's office like "sorry about your wife becoming a murderer. Apparently a disgruntled employee took her diary and she snapped").

Poor Doug. Scrambling to solve a mess he created in a very unsafe way because he can't ask for help or else he'll get caught? Why is he so dang relatable. Someone get this man to a doctor. He needs Adderall. And his daughter back.

"I have the perfect plan" oh dear. Doug, those words never go well for me either.

"Doug was great, I need to lighten up a lot" 😂

"She somehow saw through my forgery" oh poor Doug.

Are these episodes just Doug getting himself into situations? Because that's hilarious and wonderful.

Mini Episode: Space Rage

"Badass McAwesome" Is that Doug doing a southern accent? I love his radio shows.

Is he talking about Minkowski? Is he broadcasting that through the ship?

"Our God given American right to free speech and funny jokes!" Amen Doug 🫡

Oh my gosh he's talking to himself 😂.

"I'm stuck in this crappy job searching for alien life for 14 hours a day" "we've all certainly been there" I can't, please 😂😂😂

"There's this script you're supposed to broadcast" "sound like command trying to keep you down"

"I've been reciting every Simpson's treehouse of horror episode from memory" / "That's the way Abe Lincoln would have wanted it."

I love this. I love patriot cowboy Doug. 🤠 You can't be taking his freedoms!

"Fighting the good fight" aksjkfjsdlf;kj

Oh who is the sponsor this time? Oh Dr. Hilbert's seaweed coffee. "It's the only thing we have. It's the only thing we have."

"You're live. Let freedom ring!" Doug is the best honestly.

Oh dear.

"Okay you're taking me alive. That's all the time we have for today folks!"

Doug is iconic.

These were great. Short, but great. Maybe I'll try to listen to the Mission Mishap ones a few at a time so that I can still give you reactions, even if I don't have the time or health to give you the full length reactions you deserve dear readers. But don't worry. As soon as I have time, I will react to the rest of the series. Thanks for reading!

hi, it’s me, formerly zekhrom.

due to extenuating circumstances that blog was no longer a safe place for me to be at. this is currently under construction but i want the mutuals i can trust back.

under the cut is gonna be like the actual situation (briefly) just for some perspective. because i like talking :)

a quick few things tho:

-all of my original posts will be tagged as 🧬 . if u cant block it or whatever lmk and i can add a text tag as well. i just like the DNA.

-do not fucking interact if you follow gore blogs or like gore. what the fuck.

-engineers will still be executed on sight because none of you know how to be normal. (bioengineers must face me in combat to win their lives)

-scorpios are still cancelled but i love you guys anyway. <3.

have a good time! im gonna try to be more myself on this blog since i have privacy now. less whining and more actual content i enjoy.

thats all the actual important stuff! thanks!!!

basically the situation core is from the years of 2012-2013 i got wrapped up with someone who tried to pull me from the usa to wales in order to experiment on and torture me. when i tried to leave the relationship i did not consent to i was threatened with involuntary institutionalization and she did in fact get me a “watch order” from the local police department where i lived. she held this over me and frequently would call the police whenever i “misbehaved” to do a mental wellness checkup. this specific dynamic occurred for most of our year and six month relationship.

she and the guy she was cheating on me with made a serious of gore blogs under separate email accounts to continually harass me with triggering images. i received in-depth death threats and promises to hunt me down in order to drag me with her again.

as of 2016, the blog she personally owned was abandoned and all of the content was removed after the nsfw ban. flash forward to last night where i checked it because i was paranoid and saw her last post was 2 years ago, in 2018. around this time, i had received an influx of gore and otherwise unsanitary/torture followers after receiving a like on an untagged post from one of their blogs (i did not realize it was them) and a series of anonymous messages trying to catch me in things that had occurred long before zekhrom (and the prior urls) existed. i also received several followers with blogs dating back to 2014, with similar content. due to url changes and theme changes, i am unable to determine which of my followers they may be. so i am afraid :). they had my home address and due to my girlfriend idk im scared they still might find me through that.

#🧬#fellas is it stalking to host a gore blog consistently. yeah it is. when youre a fucking freak.

I FINISHED SEASON 2 OF WOLF359 AND I HAVE SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (or my reaction to Episodes 27-28 of Wolf359).

@sophieswundergarten @oflightningandstars @acollectionofcuriousreblogs @herawell

I just looked at the episode titles for 27 and 28 and oh my gosh I am so excited in the sense that I love these titles, but I'm much less excited for our characters to be in mortal peril.

Episode 27: Knock, Knock

"Knock Knock" indeed.

Is it the Empty Man?

Now where did we leave off before the live show? OH RIGHT THE STAR TURNED BLUE AND BLASTED THEM! 🔷🌠

ARE THE ALIENS TRYING TO TALK TO THEM?

Uh. Lovelace. Why are you leaving when the star is blue? You can just wait for a bit.

...what happened? Eiffel what was the noise? It was faint, and it's not Lovelace this time.

"Explain in terms Eiffel could understand" I know that's an insult, but honestly scientific research gets spread to the public WAY better when put in "plain language". It's more understandable and accessible for people with learning and intellectual disabilities. Hilbert I hope you're taking notes on this. If you want a redemption arc, you're going to have to earn it.

I love it when Minkowski imitates Hilbert's accent.😂

"Minor deviations" Yeah, they bring that up a LOT. Every other episode: "nothing from the star, just a few minor deviations". I bet they thought I wouldn't notice, but I did. And lo and behold. It just goes to show you kids. Notice something mildly strange? It's 100% a conspiracy or scientific phenomena. Well, not really, I was wrong about the empty man, BUT if you take that approach to everything, one day you are gonna be very right about something. Eventually. And now here comes my sweet sweet payoff.

🎶 Twinkle Twinkle Scary Star, Please Hit Cutter with a Car. 🎶

(I don't know I did it for the rhyme)

What have you been hearing Hilbert? AVOID WINDOWS AND STARLIGHT? oh boy...

Star. What do you want?

DOUG! Don't yell at Hera when you could both die! She's your best friend.

Uh oh. Looks like communications aren't going well...

Why are Hilbert and Doug hearing things? Virus exposure?

And where is Blessie? He's needed starlight for a while. This is his moment.

The star is getting bigger?

"This is astrological phenomena not plot twist for bad science fiction series"

Nice fourth wall you got there. Would sure be a shame if somebody were to break it. ;)

"We don't have a lot of time" Y'all have two more seasons, and Doug, you're the main character. I think you should be fine. Well, not "fine" but around. Doing stuff.

"I'm not giving the devil a free pass" Now Doug, that's a bit harsh. Cutter is the devil. Hilbert is more the devil's bumbling assistant.

Come on Minkowski. Put it together. Doug and Hilbert are hearing things.

"Let's get rid of our weapons" is that wise? I hope so.

Yeah...that is a suspiciously good plan Doug. I love Minkowski 😂

"I'm gonna start thinking YOU'RE plotting something" it's the screwdriver all over again.

Hera is the only one holding the ship together. Probably helps that she is the ship.

"MY LIFE IS THE TRUMAN SHOW" Eiffel has snapped.

"You paranoia little man" "We all are!" ...um what's with the Whispering in the background? Guys. Guys. GUYS.

DO NOT DO WHAT CUTTER WANTS. DO NOT-

Thank you Hera. I hope she's immune to the effects of the star since she's an AI.

Well, it seems like the team's gotta work together to get out of this one.

Dr. Hui? Energy signals? Limbic system?

Now that is something I understand! The Limbic System effects emotions, but primarily aggression and fear.

...uh oh.

And yeah...Lovelace DOES seem strangely calm...

...FOR AN EVIL CLONE ROBOT. 👀

"I don't know. Maybe my body has a resistance." "Or maybe you're at max paranoia"

Something happened to you Lovelace. I want to believe it is something good. But I don't think it is. Hopefully it will still be useful now.

"The big bad wolf" - that's a great name for the star.

"There's no off switch I've checked" ...what does that mean.

I love Zach Valienti interrupting himself. He does a great job.

"Who doesn't know the comms aren't working?"

Probably command or the aliens.

But I hope it's Blessie 🥰

We're all here. So...how can...

THE EMPTY MAN IS HERE.

TRANSMISSION FROM THE STAR? WELL I WONDER WHAT MR. WOLF HAS TO SAY.

I hope he doesn't intend to huff and puff and blow the Hephaestus out of the sky.

"Is anyone there?"

"Does anyone copy?" DOUG EIFFEL. Wait, this is old audio I think. Didn't he say that before? This is a recording right?

Oh boy.

Episode 28: Who's There?

"That's not me" ... It might be a recording. The radio was from...I think they said the 20's. This is more recent.

I hope the aliens were able to translate his messages correctly. Because Doug uses a LOT of pop culture references, metaphors, exaggeration, and hyperbole. That don't translate well at all.

Mini rant incoming, but um...just to illustrate how bad this could get even from a few simple phrase. For example, the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs" in English or at least among some older people in America, means "it is raining very hard" or "it is raining a lot". Now if you speak, say a difference type of English, you might from context be able to infer what I'm talking about. Like if a British person says they pushed a trolley in the grocery store, I can infer they are talking about a shopping cart, not a street car they drove through a storefront like a maniac. However, someone who doesn't speak English and is not familiar with metaphor can't use context clues as easily and may conclude from my earlier phrase (best case scenario) that it is either literally raining cats and dogs, that I'm an insane person that believe that to be true, or (worse case scenario), if the word "raining" is also used in their language to mean "splattering" or "pouring" in regards to wounds, they might think I'm talking about torturing animals.

Again, showing the importance of the simple and plain language thing I suggested earlier. Not that I'm one to talk, as I, like Doug, greatly enjoy the use of hyperbole and exaggeration, which in this case, is very very bad. I can see why they gave him this character trait now.

Hopefully the aliens draw a good conclusion from it, and Doug hasn't inadvertently doomed the human race.

"We have no voice of our own, so we're borrowing yours. To communicate"

So the aliens mastered AI voice stealing. I suppose in their case it might be necessary. But why can they talk on their own? They seem to have a sense of hearing and can pick up sound waves, so wouldn't they have a way to utilize that for communication? Unless of course they're translating it into something they CAN perceive.

"We've received your long distance calls"

So...these are the listeners?

DOUG YOU TRANSMIT YOUR LOGS INTO DEEP SPACE.

"Would it have killed you to speak English like a normal person"

"It's a long story you wouldn't get it" WELL THEY ARE DYING SO YOU BETTER TRY TO EXPLAIN MR. WOLF.

To communicate...I think they think that means to fall or burn or die or something. Wait.

Doug. Please tell me you at no point said "this job is a death sentence", you know what, he says that every other episode. They're doomed.

"Dear Listeners"

I don't think they even know what that means! They don't seem to understand that dear is a term of affection or another word for "to", because they don't seem to be adopting either meaning and are just using it as a part of their name.

I hope there is a way to translate "We don't want harm, we just want to go home. We are a peaceful people, expect this one dude name Cutter. He's evil. You can have him. Thank you!"

LOVELACE? LOVELACE NO!

Why couldn't it have been Hilbert? 😢

We didn't even get a chance to find out why the star didn't effect her.

OH RIGHT THE BOMB I FORGOT ABOUT THE BOMB.

Please tell me its not a real bomb.

Oh no. Lovelace.

Hey Dear Listeners...maybe some help about now?

Or maybe Lovelace really is an evil clone robot, and she'll be okay?

Okay Hilbert. Good work on the redemption arc. Let's hope you keep it up.

Doug. You removed the door's sensor. Remember?

Outside the ship? Where the big scary star is? Eiffel.

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't stolen the jet pack earlier. That's a pretty big temptation.

Also I forgot to mention this during my first reaction, but I love that they named him "Eiffel". Like "Eiffel Tower", "Communication Tower", "Communications Officer". It's clever. I know I've talked a lot about Hera's name, but the others are great too.

The Dear Listeners better not respond by making the star even bigger. They better not.

...

Eiffel?

They're good? Hera can fly? But what about Eiffel? Oh. He's good, but isolated.

"Go us, not dying"

Yeah...right...what a calm way to end the season...that's what the show is known for sure.

So then. What's it gonna be? What's the next disaster?

"Not dying...yet"

Good point Hera, the time you have left in the episode doesn't look good.

At least Lovelace is stabilizing...oh no. Cutter or the aliens did something to her didn't they? Well, we already knew that, but whatever they did is about to take effect, isn't it?

Did Lovelace just die for a few minutes? WAIT NO THE BOMB!

Speeding towards deep space? HOW WOULD HE TURN AROUND HILBERT? DOUG!

NO! DOUG! DOUG!

GONE?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just when they escape, just when they make it out okay!

Final Thoughts:

Actually, you know what, I'm not too concerned about Doug. He still didn't tell us about his family, which means he has to come back and share his secrets. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Although..."deep space"... that is where he was sending the messages...which is where the aliens live...and he's going faster and faster...oh dear...

I think things are about to get a whole lot worse for Doug before they get better. IF they get better.

Many questions about Lovelace. Also starting to wonder about Cutter. Wolf359 is one of the nearest stars to the sun, so on one hand, it makes sense to send a space mission there. On the other hand? How did Cutter know to send a mission there specifically? That's very precise. And for a man who loves space so much, he seems to have a lot of suspicious side projects that have nothing to do with space and doesn't seem inclined to see the stars himself.

Then we have the self-appointed "Dear Listeners" aka "Mr. Wolf" himself, (if there's another name, please let me know). Would bringing them into the star actually save them? Did the boxes that feel into the star actually get to them? Were the boxes designed to teach the aliens about human culture? If so, that seems like an odd and strange way to do it. Do the aliens hate humans, love them, want to experiment on them, it's unclear. Were they influencing human brain waves on purpose? Testing biological warfare? Or was that an unintended consequence? Are they aware that their actions were endangering the humans, or is this nothing for them?

Of course, I also need to know about Blessie. How has he been holding up through all this?

Well, I guess I'll find out. Stay tune dear readers.
