kitty cat caper is the funniest juno steel episode. seasons 4 & 5 WISH they had this replayability.

rita telling juno to take a nap, "you got mick outta all that trouble with the shark!" "it was a loan shark, rita, I paid him!", "pippa's..... a cat..... and you're.... a nut.", "the tuna brick does not LIE, detective. the tuna brick is ABSOLUTE.", saying the cat has a "fist full of knives", "whatcha lookin' at, buddy, you never seen a lady scold a cat before??", noah simes as an insane doctor, "have you ever heard a goldfish scream before?" "mayyybe some other timee...", "when you're as charming as I am, making people want to kill you is just second nature", "if you don't wanna know what impromptu surgery feels like coming from a one-eyed maniac with nothing to lose, doc, I'd recommend you keep quiet", "thought I heard a noise, boss" "it was probably just your two braincells clacking together", "hey! you can't run away while I'm doing a bit!", "hey, watch it buddy, crosswalk's right here!" "no it isn't!", "she threw the cat into the street. she threw. the cat. into the street."

it's so good. and it works so well as the first episode of season two. you go from the big drama and ending of season one to a good old, silly detective story where you can see juno use his brain and his wit

The Juno Steel half of The Penumbra Podcast is definitely my comfort show at the moment. I keep relistening to random episodes, and often delight in finding new details and depths in them. I just toady noticed a parallel between two conversations about motives in season 2.

Ramses and Juno in The Kitty-Cat Caper:

“Your delight at throwing yourself into harm’s way implies more self-loathing than self-sacrifice. Great heroes risk great things, you risk only yourself. And as far as you’re concerned, that’s very little on the line.” “The hell-” “No, you’re not selfless, but you do act selflessly. And I’m afraid that’s all that holds value here. It doesn’t matter why you right your wrongs for any more than it matters why I want to clean this city. Soon we’ll be dead, and corpses don’t have motives. The why dies with us. But what we do, what we make, that stays.”

Jet and Juno in The Monster’s Reflection:

“I find that the way I think of the world often affects how it really is.” “Oh whatever! So you think if you imagine this Hanataba saint doctor, she’ll just poof into existence?” “No. But if I believe there is a Hanataba in the galaxy, it affects how I act. And if my actions affect the galaxy, then that which affects my actions affects the galaxy. Juno, I recommend you believe that you will survive this, for yourself.”

It’s an interesting contrast in ideologies. In addition, both are linked to Juno’s sense of self-worth. The first is when he’s at his lowest (so far), just about to be offered his new eye and start working for O’Flaherty. In the second, he’s taking his first steps to getting better, about to get rid of his eye and then make his way back to Hyperion City. Juno starts off season 2 thinking exactly like O’Flaherty, but by the time they meet in the season’s second half he’s learnt from Jet, and from Buddy and from Rita. He believes his motives matter, because he matters.

Okay so thoughts on the Vanishing Act, now that episode 2 is out:

the juno steel series is so much better when it's a detective story. Why did they spend two seasons playing psychic alien biochemistry robin hood

They played out the awkward scene on stage for long enough that I had to pause it out of sheer embarrassment for a bit. But Juno's improv skills were extremely funny, especially the slipping between the stilted theatricality and Juno's natural case-solving theatricality.

Saying super confidently "the guy shooting at me can't be Peter because Peter loves me and wouldn't shoot me" even if it was technically correct in this situation imo basically guarantees that Peter shoots Juno at some point before the season ends. Juno needs to acquire some genre savvy.

It has been several seasons since Juno had to wearily deal with an array of bizarre suspects. I forgot how much fun it is. I feel like this episode was very reminiscent of the lighter season 1&2 episodes, reminded me of kitty-cat caper or midnight fox

Peter doing his tortured "you think you know me" bit is less effective given that they... were romantically involved and living together for like a year? "You think you know me because you know my name and read my journal" uh no, because you guys had a bunch of heart to hearts while you were space pirates sleeping in the same bed.

Also Juno could read minds for a little while and is therefore a terrible target for a "my backstory was fake" gambit. Did the greatest thief in the solar system just kind of forget about the one time the love of his life got tortured and psychically witnessed his memories of murdering his father.

Okay that being said, the journal was curated, obviously. I think there's a couple reasonable cases you could make for what Peter was going for with the story he told but I am erring on the side of that message being "please stop me." Peter wants to be convinced that there's another way here.

I am very pleased we've looped back around to the cat-and-mouse game that got cut off by martian artifacts in season 1. Disregard what I said above about the message of the journal, Peter's message to Juno has been, consistently, from minute one, please catch me. Very eager to see Juno oblige

I know that Jet was stalking keeping an eye on Juno for a long time and Rita was there for most of his cases, so at this point I'm just waiting for them to be defusing a bomb or something (a different one) and Rita goes "Wish we had this for that kitty, huh Mistah Steel?"

While everyone else is trying to figure out why a CAT would have a BOMB, Juno is just tired "please don't bring that up right now."

"But Mistah Steel, that poor kitty- I KNOOWWW you don't blood but she was sooo pretty till she... blew up."

"I do not believe it could have ended any differently. Sewing a bomb into a stomach would still have affected her even after it was removed."

The three of them talk quietly about what cats they think are prettiest while the rest of the crew are stuck trying to puzzle out what any of that meant

I just want to remind everyone that: 

The Penumbra Podcast took the “Haha, hysterical cat lady is having a fit over her cat being in an off mood!” and made it “Someone broke into this woman’s apartment and planted a bomb and the only evidence is the cat’s behavior, which is effectively gaslighting and attempted murder. Listen to women when they say something about their environment is wrong.”
