I agree. I thought it was pretty neat how it portrayed the way he used sound "bouncing" off of things and how that could be both better and worse than sight.

I just got a bottle of their Barleywine (Gnarleywine I think they call it). I don't think Lagunitas has ever put a foot wrong for me).

I think you missed the boat on Fitz and Simmons here - whatever he saw when he looked at the computer tipped him off that Simmons was doing something underhanded (probably that she had switched cubes and was analyzing a fake - which he confirmed with her by picking it up and tossing it around). The whole "you're…

The only Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that doesn't deserve to go on the Andrew Lloyd Webber Grill.

Yeah, but I'd accept Mr Eco.

Oh yeah, Oakland/Berkeley would be great. You've got the Campanile, the Oakland port you mention (allegedly the inspiration for the Imperial Walkers in Empire Strikes back) and the Oakland/Berkeley hills have no shortage of insane bad-guy mansions built after the 1991 fire.

Are bridges crossed? I'm always annoyed when they fuck up the bridges (looking at you "Meet the Kanes" episode of Archer - you don't get to Berkeley from SF by crossing the Golden Gate).

It would be indistinguishable from a thriller set in the San Fernando valley…

I love it when a plan comes together.

Too soon.

Zama let you finish, but this was the greatest comment of all time.

Yes. Goddamned amazing. Other games you might enjoy that use a similar Card-Driven event engine most of these helped to inspire or were inspired by Twilight Struggle:

Also recommend Dead of Winter in this vein.

Yeah, Space Alert is fantastic if you have a group willing and able to play it regularly - especially with the expansion that allows for "character development", but for new/occasional players it can be pretty frustrating and unforgiving.

What you and your mom do in an empty theatre on your own time is your business.

I think the idea is that Ollie now believes that Merlyn does actually love Thea in his own fucked up way. He needed Sara to be killed because she knew he was alive and saw an opportunity to introduce plausible deniability and have a card to play against Oliver.

"But it's a 3rd rate symphony!" - is it saying something about me that this might have been my biggest laugh of the episode. OK, maybe "Dr Zoidberg, Homeowner!"

I mean, he *did* answer that question, explicitly, several times.

Yes, I like Dottie as a character/cpncept - it's an interesting commentary on how the bad guys use the fact that everyone ignores women as a weapon.

Yeah, well said. 2 Kickass women against the world would be a good show too (season 2? Pretty please?), but it would be a very different one. Making it so even her allies who are well aware of how competent she is still see her through a veneer of late 40s sexism is a choice, and a good one I think.
