the bit that gets me about when Punz revived Dream was that it was so, SO similar to the set-up of Nov 16th. as someone who was there and remembered how good that felt I absolutely felt the switch coming because tonally it was absolutely the same as Tubbo making his speech and everyone hanging out, taking the festival decorations down. making plans for the future. and then Punz lead them down into that staircase that suddenly turned into blackstone and I loved that detail too - blackstone, the block everyone associates with the final control room and the prison and Not Good Things, which they pointed out in the moment! it's like the s3 era fanservice stuff with Wilbur's skin and such: knowing the references we'd recognise. and then Tommy breaks a block and it's an exact mirror of this little moment on Nov 16th where Niki breaks part of the grandstand and finds it's packed with tnt. exactly the same. then they run for their lives
