Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Joshua, C.Olimar788)

JOSHUA: Me and Captain Olimar here to do the commentary for the email "saargtsson".

C.OLIMAR788: My name isn't Captain Olimar... He's that other guy.

JOSHUA: But it says here on your contract that your full name is Captian Olimar Seven-Eighty-Eight.

C.OLIMAR788: Contract? What contract?!? The "C." does NOT stand for "captain."

JOSHUA: Alright, fine. Now... I have no idea who sent this email. Was it you?

C.OLIMAR788: Nah. My only answered E-Mail was in ten emails.

JOSHUA: Now... when I started this email, naturally I had no idea how big of a role Saargtsson would have in the future.

C.OLIMAR788: Were you planning the whole Zyves equals traitor thing?

JOSHUA: Yeah, I had that planned from when I introduced him. I never planned on having him a permament cast member... No, I happened to stick him close enough to Challenge City so that I could use him in "revolution", so that kind of fit in good. Except I sort of moved him closer... because sixty kilometers is kinda far away- wait a sec, why the crap did Zyves use "kilometers"?! I'm not a... metric... guy...

C.OLIMAR788: I laugh at you, Brody and Stlunko! I laugh at your ignorance! "Just for sport," BAH!!! {Laughs}

JOSHUA: Well, it was just for sport. But then the boss trio suddenly become uber-popular and rich in "future", making Saargtsson jealous.

C.OLIMAR788: Saargtsson apparently needs a new way to vent his anger.

JOSHUA: Yeah, killing your workmates is... extreme. He needs conseling. I wonder if the boss trio told the Master of his actions if he would get in trouble or not.

C.OLIMAR788: At this point, probably not. I mean, Saargtsson OWNS the Boss Trio... he could do whatever he wants...

JOSHUA: Yeah, if the boss trio had a chance, they missed it. Now... Saargtsson's hissing is much more profound here than it becomes in future episodes with him.

C.OLIMAR788: Does he even hiss on soft "C"s anymore?

JOSHUA: I think so, but his hissings aren't quite as long anymore... like, only three letters instead of six, most of the time anyway.

C.OLIMAR788: Yeah... Doesn't a six-k ton forcefield seem a little extreme? I'm sure a smaller forcefield would've sufficed.
