      It's part of the "backfire" from worship - he "knew" what would happen, but is good at fooling himself so that he can experience it firsthand. This is why Gertrude threw herself into danger, and why other "close" archivists (michael and the ghost hunt chick) are constantly wanting to GO and find out what's happening. It takes a LOT to force Jon into action, but then he's absolutely fucking relentless because he basically gives in and lets it guide him by (again) pretending HE is in control

      @@clayxros576 I think it might have something to do with how the powers themselves manifest for each individual but this is just speculation. While both Jon and Elias serve the Eye their methods of "information gathering" are incredibly different as seen when comparing Elias aggressively taking the statement directly from Daisy's mind leaving her a nearly sobbing wreck to Jon's uncomfortable prodding questions that you cannot seem to stop yourself from answering and without spoiling too much Elias joined the Eye because he witnessed an act of incredible violence meanwhile Jon joined the Eye because he hated the thought of being a victim of an unseen manipulatior.

Ik the story doesn't really care about these types of things, but I hope Michael didn't miss any major arteries, the cleanup would have been horrible, since most of the characters here seem to be a bit queasy.

    Everyone here railing on Jon for having no braincells (not saying that's _untrue_ ) and shaking her hand, but given the context of this episode it makes perfect sense. If Jon compelled it out of her, she made it clear she would kill him for real, but more importantly, he's always subconsciously followed her advice to serve his god "fearlessly and without hesitation", to retrieve vital knowledge even at the expense of his hand or even his life. His near lack of hesitation to shake her hand was just him being a faithful servant, with a side of charming dumbassery of course.
    Honestly this might be one of my favourite episodes so far. The writing is always stellar, but this one felt more impactful and beautifully tied together.

      I would imagine it’s somewhat instinctual at this point. He’s been building up the strength of this ability for a bit now. This is just the first time the audience is blatantly told to actually pay attention to it.
      The first proper, noticeable compulsion I’ve been able to note was back in “Hard Shoulder.” Daisy didn’t really want to give her statement, but she did anyway, and seemed shaken afterwards.
      But even before then, all the live statement givers have been very forthcoming and detailed in their accounts. The presence of the Archivist compels the information out of them.
      And we can even see the difference between Jon and someone else taking a statement. Look at how easily Melanie got into her statement with Jon, and how fumbling and frustrated she was when trying to start a statement with Martin, when she came to talk about being shot in India. (right before being given a job)
      (Also there’s a later episode where all the assistants try to take people’s statements, and it’s hilarious how hard it is for them. lol)

    this woman literally made me feel sick in the way that she speaks, she felt like she could not be trusted the moment she spoke...
    dang these people are great at voice acting!
    also people say there's an episode for everyone, this is mine i guess. this single conversation sent shivers down my spine, and a pure disgust that reminds me of that time i watched Dr. pimple popper for half an hour (my mom watches it and i wanted to see how long i would last)

    I want to give Jon a hug SO BADLY, it is NOT FAIR that I can't.
    Like, I've _been there_. Not as in "served an eldritch god-thing", obviously, but as in "I'm new to this". As in "I have just figured out that I am (a/n) _____, Now what do I dooooo?" And yeah, sometimes, in those cases, the people you turn to for advice are not the best choices. This episode makes my heart hurt in the best possible way.

      Why did that man shake her hand. Jon buddy seriously. I swear i am starting to wonder if he's a little bit of a masochist.

      he didnt shake her hand bc hes stupid , he most likely knew what was gonna happen but he did it anyway for the knowledge , his character isnt about being stupid , its about being so hungry for knowledge like when he cant stop investigating and recording , he knows its bad , but he just CANT NOT KNOW also if he didnt agree , jane would have probly burst him into flames , wich is far worse than getting ur hand burned.

    From Jude's statement and previous episodes we can assume Elias knows about the Eye and how Jon is "The Archivist". Why wouldn't he- help him understand tf is going on, he's obviously serving the Eye too (With Leitner's statement of "you should want to stop it but are working with it" or whatever he said to that effect unless he's talking about an event). It's not like Jon can quit anyway. So help him understand what to do instead of allowing him to wander around hurting himself-
    Also Jon knew Jude would hurt him, he just NEEDS the knowledge so badly he tricked himself into thinking he doesn't care. "I pretend i do not see, when in reality I do" kinda vibe. He may be paranoid but he's not that stupid come on guys 😭

    You know I always thought that Jon was oddly persuasive. I assumed it was just a personality trait.
    I was very wrong.

    Wait, when did Jon realize he served the Beholding again? I knew it was gonna happen but I don't recall it ever being explicitly stated till now....

      I think I recall it was when he was talking to the old guy (the one with his name in all the books that lived in the tunnels). Don’t quote me on that tho I have the worst memory.
