About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Neyrelle's fate in Diablo 4 and explores the concept of time travel in Azeroth through the lens of the Fermi Paradox.

Lore Watch kicks off with a discussion from  Diablo 4  this week, which breaks the seal on the  Lord of Hatred  spoilers. This question concerns the Chekov's Gun that was Neyrelle's lopped off arm. Matt and Joe discuss the possibility that Neyrelle isn't truly, fully dead, as through the lens of that arm, which apparently washed up on shore in Skovos, despite being cut off in a very different place. Is it really a hint that she may come back, or is this just more residual echoes of hatred? Then, Eric gets to flex his astrophysicist street cred with the next question, which asks, if we can time travel, where are all the time travelers in Azeroth? Shouldn't we be crisscrossing all over the cosmos, or whatever, running into each other all the time? He posits a pseudo-connection to the Fermi Paradox, which essentially asks the same question, but about non-humans in real life, and where all the spacefaring civilizations are. And yes, contemplating this is truly terrifying.   If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.
