I also thought "Yay, something is actually happening" - and then they basically retconned it in the newest episode.

Also, I'm not sure I'm happy where the last episode was going - I get the feeling they're trying to include some fanon things about Cecil into the canon and I really wouldn't like that.

I enjoyed the last episode as well, but I was confused by the lack of connection with Episode 32...I expected changes but it was the same stuff.

Eh, I figured Strex Corp to be a company that slowly insinuates itself, taking over things bit by bit until it's too late - not one big, loud takeover.

Hopefully, because if not I will be real disappointed.

I wasn't expecting any immediate impact in the future. It did have one mention of strexcorp, and that seems like how it'd start. A commercial here, an add there... something will no doubt happen but I didn't expect it this soon. That's more like a season finale sort of thing.

Right? After all the HOMG STREXCORPS, all we got was a commercial and other than that the same old, same old? Huh. I wish it was just a case of "it's really subtle and we won't notice the real changes until after it's too late" but I fear it's just another case of not quite thought-through, not so brilliant writing.

Their pacing is normally really slow when you're listening in realtime.

The episode One Year Later, where Carlos and Cecil have their big dramatic emotional breakthrough, is followed by Faceless Old Woman, which doesn't so much as mention Carlos' name. I imagine that was frustrating for people who had already waited two weeks, and now had to wait two more for any payoff on the relationship. But in terms of content, it's only a half-hour break from the cliffhanger before picking back up again.

No reason to think the Strex plot won't unfold at the same speed, and be solidly built up along the way.

+1

I mean, even the army of people from the miniature city was mentioned like, a handful of times over the course of a year, and that obviously had a big payoff. Strex is gonna be the same way.

And considering the format, I think the slow pacing works.

They didn't really Retcon it, since there was a Strexcorp commercial.

I think this brother/mirror thing is a build up that will cross-over with the Strexcorp line.
