This is pop culture Jeopardy that makes me feel like the wasted parts of my life haven't been wasted on just enjoying myself, and it needs to exist for at least the entire back half of my lifespan on a much bigger scale than TH-cam or Dropout. I mean, I don't even care about Broadway and this episode is great.

There was at least one more error than was picked out which I will have to rewatch to find, but it always bothered me that no one brings it up because it's super basic. I can't remember which panel, but at one point someone either takes two actions in a turn without haste, or casts two non-cantrip spells without quicken spell metamagic.
      Edit: upon reviewing the episode, it's the pit fiend, it can either cast hold monster or use its multi-attack in a turn, not both. In addition, he was recalling the 3.5E stat block for pit fiends that are immune to non-magical attacks. 5E pit fiends are fully affected by silvered weapons and only resistant, not immune, to non-magical attacks

      “Urinetown is your town if you’re hopeless, down and out.” Which means that Urinetown can’t be a place, because it’d be everywhere. It’s merely a state of being.

      Yeah it’s a common thing in theatre for the first person to play a role to be said to have “created” that role because they’re the first to personify and inspire the interpretations that come later. It’s not really meant to detract credit from the writer(s) it’s just one of those silly theatre things.
      But I can totally understand wanting O’Brien to get all the credit he so rightfully deserves!

      I'm not a theater guy but I have heard that term a few times for first actor to play the role on stage. As I understand it just a theater specific term of art you have to read differently than the usual TV show creator or general creator role.

    • @asterlyons8564

      We don't get a lot of tours in Québec, but that year I was supposed to see a couple + some ballet and opera shows that I wanted to see. So I am also pretty upset. It is killing the arts, down here. Quebec... we lost so many people who were working behind the scenes and on stage because of the pandemic. I am heartbroken and very bitter about how relieved I felt for opting for a communications degree rather than continuing higher education in theatre.
