The events of  Blood Ties happen between the end of The War Within but just before  Midnight  -- basically when we are right now. As such,  there will be spoilers for both  Blood Ties  and a little bit of what we know happens in  Midnight . Joe and Eric point out various details they found particularly effective, and things they wished we had more of in other contexts. A fun little dinner party with lots of expository dialogue is a treat, for instance. But there's a lot of ground to cover, and Eric and Joe have a lot to say! If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.
