MythicQuest quarantine special makes virtual reality (feel like) second nature
) season back in February, came back on May 22 for a socially distanced scripted special that brought all its characters back together, apart. It’s not the first to do so — “All Rise” and “Parks and Recreation” beat it to the punch — and it surely won’t be the last. But while all of them are united by a “let’s do it because we can” self-dare attitude, the “Mythic Quest” version has the bonus advantage of an all-virtual episode making complete sense within its own established world.
The visual format of the episode — which takes place through a series of FaceTime calls and live-streaming — may necessarily look different, but its rhythms are the same. Ian is still a paranoid megalomaniac, only this time, while broadcasting from the comfort of his “compound” complete with a hot tub, boxing gym, and at-home movie theater. His righthand woman Poppy is holed up in her apartment trying desperately to lose herself in work, as per usual.
But what makes this “Mythic Quest: Quarantine” episode most interesting is that it takes a moment to figure out how its characters would actually be doing in quarantine beyond the base level of bored and annoyed that everyone in self-isolation can acknowledge. In a stark scene near the end, Ian realizes that Poppy’s new radio silence is a sign that she’s struggling and reaches out to let her know she’s not as alone as quarantine makes it feel.
