"Can...you...do me a favour?" "Im JUST about to die, what!?" The irritation in his voice killed me😂😂😂😂

[@T.H.Y.R.O.]

"I just spent my whole career a life building a ship so I could come here and wipe myself from a timeline" "BUT WHAT CAN I DO. FOR YEEUW."

[@ytuser4562]

I mean, I feel like there’s never a better time to do a favor than when you’re about to die? Idk why, that was just my first instinct

[@CulannBurke]

"YOU EVER HEARD OF FEMINISM, JAMES!?"

[@Draco_379-t6g]

The time dilution was funny as hell, 14 weeks was 5-6 years while 18 weeks is 30 years.

[@Fadexpl]

It doesn't have to be linear, depends on the strength of gravitational field. So yeah, nothing wrong here.

[@Judys-Stuff]

@@Fadexpl Exept maybe them going through a black hole.... while travelling to the "outer orbit"?

[@RushWheeler]

Listen, dilution is just way more conplex than regular time dilation.

[@RedstonekPL]

yeah bc it diluted too much

[@ytuser4562]

I was looking for this comment lol! The inconsistency was frustrating but hey what are you gonna do

[@Horseradish_Enjoyer]

I adore Tom's pettiness in this play: time dilution, the ongoing stagecraft competition with Sam, his quips at 42 year old AJ acting like a 12 year old and of course the scolding of Luke/James. Straight masterpiece.

[@carolinschmidt1575]

Such an amazing longform! I love the zero gravity combat and Tom genuinely forgetting that there's a murderer on the ship 😂

[@merve6876]

tom and sam sabotaging each others stagecraft is pure comedy

[@LivingAsAGhost]

Improv teachers always say not to laugh in a scene but Luke's laughter and AJ losing his shit in the background as Sam casually put the ship's manifest in the fire made it so much funnier. Sam and Tom trying so hard to keep it together 😂

[@liqvidlvck05]

11:08 “so he’d be 44 now” this and everyone trying to figure out ages and dates was the funniest shit 😭

[@Willow0.o]

And we never find out what favour James was gonna ask...

[@T7Karou]

"Bring me coffee" maybe 😂

[@jumpiestudios5265]

I imagine he was gonna say "...could you narrate my actions for me?" It would've brought things full circle and felt like an act of honoring his fallen co-scientist, and/or like he actually misses him now that he's gone.

[@Willow0.o]

@@jumpiestudios5265 Ooh good point! Someone (unfortunately can't remember who) wrote a fanfic & shared it on the SFTH discord, imagining that he was gonna ask about his briefly mentioned son, which is a really lovely, sad sediment /gen

Maybe... he did not see a woman on earth either. I honestly thought that was where is was going when AJ mentioned not seeing his wife.

[@memeytown]

Luke’s hysterical laugh over the mic is tearing me to bits 😂 Also the feminism joke callback was so out of the blue had me in stitches

[@alexceptionalex]

you can see on tom's face, the second that aj says time gets diluted, the decision to tease him about it mercilessly

[@k1tsk1]

12:38 sam being so proud of creating the murderer's plan is honestly hilarious 😂

[@alfietreacher]

I come back to this once a week just for “I’m just distracted by the fact you put that straight in the fire” 7:05

[@ytuser4562]

I feel like I don’t get it. Was there a fire previously mentioned that I missed or is the joke just that Tom just came up with it randomly to challenge Sam to “yes and” it?

[@k1tsk1]

@@ytuser4562it was intentionally to mess with Sam :)

*narrator voice* and with the release of Murders in Space, the stagecraft war between shoot from the hip members Tom and Sam grew ever more intense.

[@ytuser4562]

Hey I’m a little confused about this “stagecraft competition” I keep seeing in the comments. What is it?

[@aspenadams1633]

@@ytuser4562 okay so basically Tom and Sam have something of a rivalry happening over their used of mime for objects and props onstage. I’m pretty sure it kicked off around Priscilla’s final petal and since then it’s popped up here, bluebells marigolds and Hugh, possibly in The Lighthouse, and maybe some others but I can’t remember. Stagecraft itself is the technical aspects of putting on a play which are obviously very sparse and actor centric when the play is improvised.

[@alyssabolin0717]

Might be my favourite ending, it was really tragic. The ''it's fine'' and that the wife was gonna erase herself to get her husband and family back....and then it got unserious again

[@ytuser4562]

YOU THINK FEMINISM IS UNSERIOUS?!?!

[@wolfishdash2955]

I love the fact that this is basically the plot for interstellar but executed way better.

[@BLANKSN0W1]

Luke’s laughter brings such joy

[@thirdsouthobbi]

AJ just continuing to narrate and stuff in the chair at the beginning is the best. Just being a troublemaker 😂

[@LexxBM]

[@angelbreathmarcelo2425]

Ywa, the last part got me HAHAHAHA😂 “you have heard of feminism James?"

[@KaseyRodrigues]

An hour ago:”you hear the word feminism?”

[@AsianKvDE]

It pains me that the final punch line is a callback to a recurring theme of the show, and some people probably won’t get it… 😭

[@greason]

​@@AsianKvDEthat just means they've done themselves injustice by not watching the full special, ultimately the shows are for the live audience, not us. So jokes that make the audience laugh the most are prioritised

[@juliaangrick]

Another amazing longform! Love how Tom genuinely forgot about the murderer, absolutely fantastic.

[@panicathedogpark]

12:30 I genuinely expected Sam to go “and some random shmuck in the prison space station got your coffee!”

[@wally10101]

Wouldn’t be a SFTH play without AJ killing a couple 😭

[@johncarvajalarenas9991]

So many brilliant moments! Absolutely loved watching the full show yesterday. Tom constantly correcting the lads' grammar and word choice mistakes was priceless. 😂

[@TGDan]

7:07 Tom is so great at environment trolling I swear to god 😂😂

[@TGDan]

8:58 yup, he's a fucking G O D 😂😂😂

An amazing Sci-fi long form 🔥The math in this was very interesting to watch :))) The time "dilution" 😂

[@Judys-Stuff]

I, as a non-native speaker was extremly confused what was wrong. Then I thought about it and googeld it. I am now laughing tears XD

[@teck8777]

The Second knocks on the door was the funniest thing

[@daniel-dc8dk]

Last night i had a fever dream about a SFTH improvised play. It was set on a planet of weebs and Sam and AJ were competing to win the title of Weeb King. It's discovered near the end of the play that Sam's character had only ever watched Dragon Ball, so AJ started doing a "You dont know the highs and lows of high school football" esque monologue about how Sam couldn't possibly be the Weeb King because he can't relate to the epic trails of anime. AJ killed Sam and then it was revealed that AJ and Sam's characters were deeply in love because of course they were. btw, Luke was Sam's running assistant who wasn't really in the dream at all (Sorry Luke) and Tom was AJ's running assistant and also his brother who knew about AJ and Sam's love but thought they were bad for eachother (Mainly because he was also in love with Sam i think? i can't be 100% on that it was mainly vibes and by that point my dream had become more colours than actual plot) I just thought you all should know.

[@nabd341]

Thank you for informing us 😂, but honestly the fact that I can imagine them doing something like that just proves how chaotic they can be (but that’s why we love them lol)

[@magdam1508]

Thank you for sharing. It's amazing

[@bunnycat5552]

this sounds accurate yeah, sfth energy is on point, i bet it was a fun dream to watch

14:42 I thought the child-mother scene was a flashback but NO he’s just an amateur 42 year old 😂 ,or 44 diluted years 🌌

[@SallyAStockman]

Watched the full special yesterday and it was brilliant, these just keep getting better, I think this might be my favourite full play so far!

[@Judys-Stuff]

Well, it's secound after "Oh my god, is this a joke!?", but I was still laughing tears

[@ytuser4562]

Shit, this was great. It actually had a surprisingly cohesive, satisfying, and entertaining plot that had me rolling. The plot fell apart once AJ went out the hatch, though (what cure? They never found what they were looking for! And what if instead AJ had boarded her time spacecraft and they all went home safely? What happened next?! Etc) Great job as always!

[@treefrogg]

it’s not a sfth video without tom correcting someone’s grammar 😂💜

Yo, I just wanted to watch the video again. Instead I get blown away by this badass cinematic teaser. 💀

James was going to ask if it was ok to make a podcast when he got back home. He was going to call it Only Murders in the Spaceship.

[@nightshad0w]

Don’t worry guys it will have a “Beggining” and not a beginning, ya know, the remix :)

The funniest part about it... is that Tom, double english major, was the one who said it!
