I love that at the end Essek sounds like a grandmother that got a Roomba for her birthday.

Caduceus, Cornelius, Constance, Corrin, Calliope, Colton, and Clarabelle - I think the Clay family in general has a thing for C names

Its even cuter and sadder when you know that "Charlie" was also Laura's dog who passed away recently :/

[@CampaignerSC]

-_- Gonna pretend I didn't read that.

[@jackmyers8687]

Crying a little, not gonna lie

[@ForeverWog]

This was the same Charlie that Travis used for the sound of Trinket hocking up a hairball? RIP Charlie.

[@EyebrowsGaming]

Travis and Laura exchange a cute glance at 1:23 , they clocked it immediately, and I think Marisha twigged it immediately too. Nothing wrong with paying tribute to a good boy

[@giovannymorales8761]

I feel like charlie is going to ask this question in the future. "Associate, does this unit have a soul?"

[@jaredt.murphy8257]

Apparently, it is believed that the person who sold FCG to Dancer, the unknown, "D" is this robot, which tells me, Sam's reaction of "I would die for this creature" the inspiration for FCG- in more ways than one~

[@tgrebnesor]

How are Matt's expressions reading as potentially innocent and murderous at the same time??

Dammit Matt, stop finding new ways to impress us every week, it's exhausting

Five Episodes later „Hello, my name is Tarryon Darrington, have you seen Doti?“

[@shannononeill482]

dangit...I do not need Charlie to take the place of Kiri....

[@thepopulargirl1784]

Caduceus still hasn't met her, and she still doesn't know that Molly got killed on the side of the road.

[@shannononeill482]

@Ryen ohh....Henry ranks up there for sure.

[@Langston42]

what are the odds Charlie here Clarota's the party after rebooting & repair?

Clarota 2: Electric Boogaloo

[@gdrios2427]

Just thinking that, this can't end well.

[@bakerthompson5720]

Matt and I both have speech disfluencies and having a cannon character with a stutter is super nice! I would both kill and die for Charlie.

[@jackmyers8687]

Same man. Had a speech impediment since I was 8. Nice to feel a connection with a character

[@FlapNasty3]

He and Orly are my faves.

[@ForeverWog]

I love Charlie! I’m also really interested that Matt says he is a Citizen of Aeor. We’re automatons on the same level as the living creatures of Aeor?

[@abbakarenina]

anyone else vaguely reminded of ben from treasure planet? in concept, not in execution

[@RenVicious69]

My first thought as well xD

[@jackmyers8687]

"I'm going to say.....Larry?"

[@Boundwithflame23]

A mix of Ben and Baymax

[@chichiriz]

I really hope jester talks to charlie about tusk love to charlie all night so i can hear matts inuendos let chaos reign 😜

[@backinmyday5227]

When Charlie says its a companion...are we talking in the Doctor Who sense or Firefly?

[@Grey_Shard]

aeormaton = warforged? Will this be a character race option in Campaign 3?

[@BornAScout]

Matt confirmed this in the Campaign Wrap Up! Thanks to the M9, the warforged race is now reintroduced into Exandria.

[@duartepereira2717]

Fresh cut grass is happy to say yes

How does he make that sounds l so real?

[@davidparkes7741]

As I put it in my comment on the ep, in an NPC cute-off who would win? Charlie, Kiri or Henry?

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Kiri. No-one else can make "go fuck yourself" sound cute.

[@threadsandpurrs]

I like Charlie. He's fun.

[@sorcereradventurer]

Get Halas and stick him in a robot.

Oh no, that's how you get Halasnet

REFERENCES/SPOILERS FOR CHAMPAIGN 3 BELOW!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In c3 sam plays as a automaton named fresh cut grass right? its obvious that the story for him is that as a automaton he is capable of having human like mental truma like ptsd despite claiming it not possible as a not "soul touch" creature. I realised in this scene that "Charlie" seems to glitch out after he sees his injured body. Much like how fresh cut grass glitches out when he tries to recall things related to his ptsd. Also based on the only knowledge i know of the lore about automatons, this aeoran bot is very sentiant just like fresh cut grass. So maybe that's where his origins lay with his own sentieance. I dunno if its coincidence or or not but i just found it a interesting thing i noticed while trying to recall a favorable character i liked.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

I just realised what Charlie reminds me of. "Hi, this is mac-mac-Max Headroom on bi-Big time TV.."

[@brunocasagrandefelixdossan8557]

Here for some FCG lore.

[@laura-lydia7610]

Oh, Charlie :/

[@jamescanjuggle]

oh wow im so used to the new set i forgot this is what the old one was like

[@sophiefrankis9476]

Sounds a bit like Sheldon from Big Bang

[@jackmyers8687]

Did anyone else think *companion* meant *sex robot* ?

[@charliezaremba3818]

I approve

[@awizardwithwords994]

(MAJOR SPOILERS AROUND E138) And then they decided to just let him go without really explaining the stakes of anything... Hell, the fucking WORLD is presumably just going to end if they fail, but they didn't really even try to convince him that it should stay to maybe help them and then in return, gee I don't know, further find more things to scavenge, etc. This was a major let down to just see him vanish without ever really gaining any knowledge about him. I feel like this could have been a really interesting NPC if they convinced him to stay and help. I was on the edge of my seat when Matt first starting teasing this out but then he just kinda disappeared with no real information gained. Overall though, this is only a minor gripe about the recent episodes, these recent ep's have been some of the best Critical Role we've ever seen, and who knows, maybe he does come back at some point? (Don't come bashing this comment if that does happen eventually, this was written around E138.)
