Except, as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, the arquebus and the halberdier are the peanut butter and chocolate of renaissance weaponry - they're nigh ineffective the one without the other.

Well, it's worth noting that as a Catholic I have heard FAR more sermons on abortion, birth control, divorce, pre-marital sex, varying forms of non-procreative sex acts, and other 'straight' problems than I have on homosexuality. So it's certainly not as though the Church has stopped harping on these things. It just…

Actually, I thought it was perfectly in character for Archer to get that wrong in that particular way.

So… you're down with phrasing but not with jazz hands?

The Box! That's the thing I was trying to think of this whole time. Damn, I need to get back in there!

The Mustang Sally version of Mustache Sally with it's chorus of Ride, Sally, Ride sounds like something too good for this fallen earth.

Original Sin?

Right, my theory on some of the character weirdness with Lana and Malory is that it's tied to long term arcs for the characters:

Also, Charm. I thought there was a specialist class that had a charisma requirement? Certainly, if you want to be a Sha'ir a high charisma is advisable, but that's a big of an infinite closet inside a tiny lamp case.

Yeah, Arex, I too was squigged out by the ethical implications of the final procedure.

Hurray!

I thought Scott Pilgrim sort of did that… and I cannot wait for someone to give it another try.

One among many differences between those two situations is that, presumably, performers, both individually and in aggregate, enjoy an appreciation in the value of their labor from working at a place like UCB. Between UCB and the performer there's a more even sharing in the actual value of the work. That's less true…

Which is why hourly workers actually take less down time the more they get paid.

Mood is not equivalent to consent.

I wanted Archer, too. Mostly, I just want his character to come back. A fight between him and Ron Cadillac for Malory would be just about the most awful torture for Sterling that I can imagine, and by awful I of course mean hilarious.

I don't know, the dude has some solid limitations on his range, but within those there are multitudes.

I like that story, but, at the same time, I really feel like it proves your mate deserved the eviction - if not perhaps based on the drinking alone.
