Lesson Learned: Always Listen to Alice and Trinkett
The End Just Happened and the End is Nigh
Hello everyone, Joe here.
Before Alice gets down to business I just wanted to give everyone a big reminder that a week from today is our SEASON 4 FINALE!!! This was our longest and most complicated season yet and it was very taxing on your boy. BUT nobody got hurt and we’re very proud of what you’re going to hear next week.
After that we’ll be taking a break, and by break I of course mean moving into Hiatusfest 2025, where we do some fun stuff on the subscriber feeds until we return later in the year.
Thank you so much for listening to Midnight Burger. Creating it for all of you has been the adventure of a lifetime. We’ll be back in the Fall.
Onward to Season 5!
-Joe
Here Comes Alice
I’m sitting here on a call with some friends as I write, trying not to be too smug. “Why, Alice?” You may say.”You’re so sweet and kind and lovely.” And I humbly thank you. However, my bragging is mostly earned in this, as I, more or less, predicted the ending to Welcome to the Horizon. I find this to be an achievement worthy of recognition on par with predicting the Superbowl. (GO EAGLES!)
Well. I say more or less, my predictions were inaccurate but in the neighborhood:
Joe, the man, the myth, the legend, can never do things in halves. It couldn’t just be the Sheep’s Eye or the Horizon that goes zooming around the cosmos, instead it’s the entire MOUNTAIN.
I mean, we should've seen it coming, it’s been hinted at over and over through the mini-series that Mt. Hood was odd and out of place. And then Trinkett starts to hallucinate, develop precognition as well as an understanding of the happenings of the mountain after taking a massive dose of immortal space shrooms. Honestly, doesn’t it get tiring doubting her every time? Trinkett is owed so many apologies by Frank. Sure, very, very stupid to do extraterrestrial holistic medicine on a whim, but in the end, she follows what she’s being pulled towards. She knows the ride will not be pleasant, but Trinkett doesn’t need things to always be good, because she knows that’s not how life works, instead she sits with what she gets and follows the path she needs to get to her destination.
The people of Hood’s Pocket aren’t well-adjusted, normal, sane individuals, but they still worked together to do what they could; from facing fears like Doug, to breaking into churches on command, and even begging to the powers that be in Verge’s case. The mountain saved them in their time of need, and now it’s their turn to go around helping the cosmos.

Questions of the Episode: Does T.J. Peppercorns have something to do with Arecibo Observatory? Are we ever going to meet Daniel and Willow again?
Favorite Quote: STEVE- If you don’t mind, I’d like to stick with the whole breaking into the church idea. I know it won’t help right now, but breaking the law helps me relax.
