   We are ready for #monsterdon tonight! Probably more watching and less yelling online about it tonight, but we're here.

     "Come on, Sally, we'll call the police!"

     "Don't leave me... please don't leave me... I'll be alone!"

     That's the end?! Two escapees, but the rest of the puppet crew is just left offsccreen? Presumably the mad scientist offs himself per his plan as soon as he's left alone?? And nobody but nobody fucks off into the sea!

     AND THAT'S A WRECK

     Man, that was a weird one.

     Ah yes, cats _famously_ are fine with standing still in front of weird things making weird noises.

     This feels less like "Attack of the Puppet People" and more like "Desperate Attempt to Survive Horrifying Circumstances of the Puppet People"

     What the heck, the police officer is just going to leave the woman alone with a man who she accused of a crime??

     Ad: "Office girl. Easy work, good pay."

     "How much experience do you have?"

     Doing _what_? There was no job description! You haven't described any duties!
