I very much caution against putting the cart before the horse. Speculation can be fun, but remember that it’s very prone to error, so don’t get your hopes up. I also advise Ockham’s Razor: the simplest explanation is usually right. And the least dramatic possibility is usually right. That said, it’s very obvious that Vex … Continue reading Analysis Ep95 to Ep99 Vex and Percy are hiding something

Transcript Ep96 0:22:16 Grog’s Whitestone Tour Hat
I collect vintage and ostentatious hats, elaborate headpieces, and fascinators. I’m the sort of person who can (and frequently does) put absolutely ridiculous things on her head and manages to make it look good. So, my first two thoughts after this scene were: “I want that hat,” and “I think I can make that hat.” … Continue reading Transcript Ep96 0:22:16 Grog’s Whitestone Tour Hat
Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories
All of this transcription was done by Critical Role Transcripts. I’ve merely reformatted it from closed captions to paragraphs, and added the timestamps and links. The longer Critical Role has run, and characters have developed, the clearer it is that the telling of their backstories shows some very core personality traits, beyond the mere history … Continue reading Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories

Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice
Analysis: My main reason for this (masochistically long) scene cut is to look at why Vax attacked Raishan. I’ve included a handful of other scenes that also show how Vox Machina felt about Raishan. They show that no one trusts Raishan. They were all keenly aware, from the beginning, that the moment Thordak died they … Continue reading Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice

Transcript Ep45 0:32:46 Percy tells Vax what happened in the Sunken Tomb
Analysis: This is probably the best example of non-verbal exchange in Critical Role to date. Most of the scene’s development doesn’t actually take place with words. Vax and Percy are both very expressive people. Their talk the night before, camped outside the Sunken Temple (Ep44 1:15:21), was warm, earnest, and forgiving. It was full of … Continue reading Transcript Ep45 0:32:46 Percy tells Vax what happened in the Sunken Tomb

He was trying to open up to her when he was very closed and evasive … Continue reading Transcript Ep72 2:57:19 Anything can happen in the woods
Transcript Ep67 1:36:46 Why Percy’s been twitchy about Ripley
Things to note: 1) Vax is again the one to notice how agitated Percy is, confront him, and try to talk him down. 2) Vex checks Percy only once, at 1:42:51, when she thinks he might be far out of line. Even that is very gentle, and she mostly lets it go. Otherwise, everything she … Continue reading Transcript Ep67 1:36:46 Why Percy’s been twitchy about Ripley
Transcript Ep78 1:57:30 Percy knocks on Vex’s door
Here is my filthy trash gift to the Critter community this week. You’re welcome. While the crosstalk in this scene is hilarious, I’ve chosen to omit it during the interaction in order to focus on the main character development. After the interaction, it gives us some good clues on private character thoughts for Percy in … Continue reading Transcript Ep78 1:57:30 Percy knocks on Vex’s door
