Thread traffic peaks just after episodes :D

90 pages? On a saturday? That's pretty slow.

@ Fallen Legend: Not much. I would've been on earlier, but I got a flat tire friday night, and after spending most of the day getting that fixed, repairing my glasses, having lunch with my brother, and meeting with my gaming group, it's been a full day. what's the general consensus on the episode?

Best. Episode. Yet.

What are your thoughts on the episode?

Yes. We're much faster...

EDIT: The episode was... fine wonderful!

@drenius wow sounds like you had a buys day. Good thing you can rest now.

The concencus was that it was a very good episode I think.

I actually haven't had a chance to see the episode yet. I had to sober up at friends before heading home I got in the door maybe five minutes ago. Watched the Icelandic comedy Astropia while chilling at my friend's place. Not great by any means, but fairly amusing. Especially since in one scene a guy recommends both Lost Highway and Bad Taste to a six year old kid.

Good to hear the episode was good, I had high hopes. But for now, I think I'll get some rest and check it out tomorrow morning.

@Drenius: What does your gaming group play?

It's a little surprising to me that this seems to be a common reaction. It was a good episode, but I didn't think it was anything special. Although I think I'm weird for considering Hearth's Warming Eve to be one of the best episodes.

Right now we're playing Pathfinder, where the DM has us running a nation-building mod. It's been pretty fun so far, I'm playing a half-orc Ranger playing spymaster for our fledgling nation. We actually rotate between D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, and TORG.

Oh, it's great until one DM gets worn out and you have to remember what the motivations for your character in the other game was. But once you get back into the swing of things, it's great fun.

Anyway, I'm kind of worn out and our Battletech game is starting earlier than usual tomorrow, so I think I'm going to say good night.

Cool. The last game I ran was Pathfinder, but I'm going back to my homebrew system now.

never played those. But sounds like fun

You guys sure post quickly.

It could have been better. There were 14 posts I tried to post which failed to go through due to a stupid mistake on my part.

@Bluespade: There people who say that for every episode. I wouldn't put much stock in the statement.

@Drenius: Hey. Yeah, general consensus is overwhelmingly good; I've only heard two responses that weren't leaning positive.

There was actually one person who irrationally hated it. He was our Ginger standin for this week.

Oh? Who didn't care for it too much? Or is asking to name names asking for trouble?

Wait, so does that mean I was the Ginger stand in for "Putting Your Hoof Down?"

Chariot. He thought it was gonna be more about the tornado going wild, which would have been pretty cool.

I didn't think Putting your hoof down was great, but I was happy to see 'Shy asserting herself at the end.

Ah. That could've been cool, but doesn't seem characteristic with what we've gotten this season. To me at least.

Ah, but you underestimate my extreme laziness at this point in time.

Anyway, I really am going to sleep this time, I swear.

It was Chariot. No point in trying to hide these things when you could just go back 25 pages to look.

since all you have to do scroll back on the thread to see, I doubt. Chariot had issues with it that no one really understood and seemed to stem from him making a mistaken assuption based on the synopsis or something no one really understood.

and we had one more, can't remeber who that was just "Meh" about it, rest loved it. or at least thought is really good.

His issues were pretty easy to understand. He thought that it was gonna be a disaster episode, was disappointed that it wasn't. I thought it was gonna be one too.

@Drenius sleep well you deserve it

I think the issue everybody had with Chariot wasn't simply that he disliked the episode. It was the reason. That being "it wasn't about what I thought it was about", which doesn't make any sense.

That's not the fault of the episode itself, though. I mean, if it had been advertised that way I'd get it, but it wasn't. None of the previews implied that that's what it would be about. It boils down to "The episode wasn't about what I wanted so it's bad".

He actually said that he was disappointed with it, not that it was bad. It was purely a personal thing.
