On October 1, 1989, forty-three women give birth to forty-three children, despite none of them showing any sign of pregnancy until labor began. Seven of those children were adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and turned into a superhero team known as "The Umbrella Academy". In the present, five of these children, now grown-up, live separate lives. Luther "Number 1" lives on the moon, Diego "Number 2" stops a home invasion, Allison "Number 3" walks on the red carpet at a film premiere, Klaus "Number 4" leaves rehab and immediately begins to use drugs, and Vanya "Number 7" plays the violin. After watching the news, they all learn about Sir Reginald Hargreeves's death. The children decide to reunite in their old home, the academy, to talk about their father's death. Visiting his father's bedroom, Luther begins to suspect that his father was murdered by one of the others, as his monocle is missing. Diego reassures Luther that the coroner stated that Sir Reginald died of heart failure but Luther remains suspicious. In a flashback to the Umbrella Academy's first public appearance, the academy successfully stop a bank robbery. Sir Reginald and Vanya watch the action from a rooftop, and Vanya asks why she can't help. Sir Reginald tells Vanya that she just isn't special, and later in an interview, he tells the public that he adopted six children, instead of seven. Back in the present, a lightning storm causes the group to go outside. Once there, they watch as a young Five "Number 5", one of the siblings, arrives at the academy through a strange ball of blue energy. Five explains that he traveled to the future, came back, and became stuck in his 13-year-old body, though he's actually a 58-year-old man. Later, the group holds a funeral for Sir Reginald. In a flashback, Sir Reginald trains and monitors all the children. He also gives all of them a tattoo of an umbrella on their wrists, except Vanya, who draws her own umbrella tattoo using a pen. In the present, the group part ways. Five visits a coffee shop, where he kills several men who try to kidnap him. At a river, Diego is revealed to have taken Sir Reginald's monocle, which he dumps in a river. Klaus, who has the ability to talk to dead people, begins to talk with his dead sibling, Ben "Number 6". The episode ends with Five visiting Vanya, where he tells her that in eight days the human race will come to an end, but he doesn't know why or how.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/06/binary-system-podcast-366-wtnv-229-the-accused/ The Welcome To Night Vale writers have occasionally been known to subtly reference current events. This week subtlety is completely out the window as the entire Night Vale community has allowed their fear and rage to be written into law. A new ordinance has all kinds of nasty, unintended consequences, some of which directly affect Cecil and his husband Carlos. Yep. Night Vale has now banned science. Carlos is arrested for Doing Science In Public (I kinda want someone to write the Sales Tax Calculating Song he was caught singing), and nobody knows if making science illegal means they're not allowed to do things like Baking, or Driving a Car. It's pretty much everything we were afraid of. And speaking of things we were afraid of...Kathryn finally finished watching Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy. The universe is over, except there's a possible do-over. Somebody ends up with the life of their dreams, others are left out in the cold, but we have zero idea if any of that will remain in the start of the next season. One thing we absolutely do know for sure is that Sir Reginald Hargreeves will never have anyone else's best interest at heart. Maybe. This week's outro is a clip from First Journey by Shalbora.

Watchlist - Der Serienpodcast mit Mona und Marcel Mann

Am 1. Oktober 1989 wurden auf der ganzen Welt verteilt, unter mysteriösen Umständen, 43 Kinder geboren. Fun Fact: Ihre Mütter waren am Morgen des 1. Oktobers noch nicht schwanger. Das war ne Überraschung für alle. Kennt man sonst nur aus Marzahn Hellersdorf. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, ein „kauziger Milliardär“, machte es sich zur Aufgabe, so viele dieser Kinder wie möglich aufzuspüren, weil er ihr außergewöhnliches Potential erkannte und sie zu Superhelden ausbilden möchte. Das kennt man eher aus Kitas im Prenzlauer Berg. Sieben Kinder konnte er adoptieren und in seiner Villa der sogenannten „Umbrella Academy“ trainieren. Als Adoptivvater war er nicht unbedingt der herzliche Typ. Anstatt Namen gab er den Geschwistern nur die Nummern eins bis sieben. Früher hätte man sowas in Nachmittagstalkshows besprochen. Heute macht Netflix eine Serie darüber.
