Things I Noticed About Knights of Guinevere (Part 2)

I'm back on this shit again! I've taken time and care to gather up all the remaining bits and bobs that struck me as cool and I am going t0 share them. Be warned. Nobody knows what I'll be going on about next week, not even me. So either wait for that or enjoy this.

And go here for part one.

Part of a promotional poster for flights leaving Park Planet.

Tickets (presumably) permanently offworld are fifty million "pee". Which I have to assume are PrincessBucks. If you abbreviate that to Pb you also get the atomic name for Lead, which is also toxic. In context in this episode, ten pee is an acceptable offer of money for the surface folk. So this is a LOT of spondooly.

Frankie's POV watching the Not-Disney promotional info.

This is a bef0re-and-after thing I am sure most people miss out on. Frankie is watching her video information during daylight.

Frankie's POV staring at the screen after the shows have ended.

When Andi comes home, it is after dark. MY best guess on what's going on is that Frankie zoned out for the hours of sunset. Hence, why she didn't immediately notice that Andi had returned. The toy animal friends are a different topic as far as I'm concerned.

The logo on Guinevere Prime's chest chassis

Just so the audience is sure, this is the Guinevere bot that leaped from the railing in the first minutes of the show. It's noted that she's old and we can see she's been through a lot. The twitching middle finger on one hand is another solid clue that this Guinevere was the one who also had the encounter with our ladies as kids.

Someone has Blue Gunk Poisining

No, this isn't going to be a cause of the sads for us. Why are you worried? No need to be worried about Andi. Heck no. She'd fine. And if she isn't, Guinevere Prime will save the day. With Princess Magic.

Denial? Never been to Egypt, why?

As was foretold...

Not only does Frankie have her eye blacked by Sparky, but between her and Guinevere Prime, they can only see clearly together. Or something. Maybe making one functional person? I'm willing to go there.

"You are interrupting a nice conversation, sir!"

I just love how Vision!Guinevere acts here. Like, "this rude gentleman needs to be taught a lesson. Oh bother me..."

Which is hilarious because that orange mech off to the left is roughly the size of a skyscraper.

It's even more hilarious that Guinevere Prime kicks its arse.

This time, Frankie doesn't flinch

This kind'a broke my heart. Obviously, Frankie has at least rose-coloured glasses on when looking at Guinevere Prime [Yes, I know there's some theories that Frankie has some variety of Maladaptive Daydreaming going on] but given all the implied pain she's got, the one kind touch she apparenlty received and welcomed is from a (debatably) cold machine.

Not unfeeling, though. We know at least Guinevere Prime has feelings.

The error messages as Guinevere Prime boots up

The bordered "book" panels of Guinevere Prime's internal dialogue. The cascading errors and caution warnings. The implication that something is going very wrong with her and has been for "years and years". None of these people are okay.

The final message before complete reboot

Yeah no, this isn't ominous at all. Everything's going to be fine.

And lastly, the princess and knight images on the credits. Each and every one of them is broken. That is high class ooftonium. Which I adore as a writer.

The broken princess
The broken guardian
And the broken swordsperson

They all have their eyes closed. Unwilling to see, or blind to the truth? Or dreaming and yet to wake up?

Time, and the second episode, will tell.

And one more time...

Let Francesca Franklin be the Butch Princess we all deserve.
