but when 30 Minutes Fantasy drops I wanna make a trio of Rayearth/Celes/Windom customs

Oh and Paul Coffey, who is one of the best defensemen to ever play the game, but has coached exactly zero games, has been named assistant coach. He also holds the title of Special Advisor to the owner. (a title he held before today).
Things are going very well in Edmonton.
I can't wait for the press release that the oilers have hired McDavid's personal trainer as the team's head athletic therapist.
Streamlined? It felt lean af to me, and they yadda yadda yadda’d over stuff that could have taken entire seasons.
For me, loved the finale, fantastic stuff. I have a lot of questions and I’m not sure exactly what happened, but the general gist was *chefs kiss* A++.
The only major mis-step for me is Loki’s characterisation. I just can’t reconcile the amiable everyman Hiddleston portrayed this season with the magnificent arrogant trickster Loki is. I feel like some of his character traits could have remained to remind us that this is the same character. Loki is not An Ordinary Guy, even depowered, and I felt that was lost a little.
Also Sylvie went absolutely nowhere, they wasted her.
Other than that: LOVED IT

I'm up to misfits and magic right now and I'm dying during the sorting hat part in episode 2

This is tracking.
Especially the lesson that Loki learned amidst e centuries of time engineering that was "don't drop the thingy off the edge"
Leeroy Jenkins is a Kang variant, it’s so obvious now.
If you drop da throughput multiplier, that's a 50 DKP minus because you didn't know WHAT THE **** your were supposed to do!
Honestly, a lot is being made of it, but when you look at the advanced metrics the oilers are about the same or better in every stat metric except a couple.
Team shooting percentage is way down from last year, and that has nothing to do with defense. The math will average out a bit there, but the team hasn't been scoring.
The other is high danger scoring against. That stat measures what we would consider a good scoring chance. Think guy sitting alone in the slot and getting an uncontested shot on net, not someone dumping the puck in from center and it hitting the goalie. Prior to Saturday, the Oilers number of high danger scoring chances were actually around league average, and around where they were last year. Now, the 3rd worst goalie in save percentage on high danger scoring chances in the league at at that time was around .850. Basically, saves 8.5 out of every 10 high danger shots. Stuart Skinner was second word in that metric, at about .650. Jack Campbell was worst, at about .610.
So basically, Oilers goalies were allowing 2 more goals per every 10 shots on a good scoring chances than the next worst guy. When the team is not giving up *more* scoring chances compared to other teams, or the year before, that rests 100% on the goalies.
The other bad metrics for the team are a power play that is slightly below average instead of historically good. That comes a bit to scoring percentage, and a bit to the fact that McDavid is still clearly playing hurt. And the penalty kill has been near the bottom of the league. That's been the one consistently bad thing during Woodcroft's time with the Oilers, their PK was always near the bottom. That I think you can put on the coach.
But the defensive system change has not been quite the train wreck people like it out to be.

Finally they did
And if you buy enough you can do part of the song
He brought out the arrogant trickster in episode 2 when he was chasing after Brad in the main timeline, and a bit again when mind-controlling Brad back in the TVA once the system resets and the magic protection goes down. But I think his motivation this season was generally too single-focused on dealing with Kang and the multiversal timelines to bring it out any more. Arrogance kind of fades when you've seen the literal end of time and the concept of an infinite eternal war that literally mathematically could never be won.
I feel like this was handled by about half of season one. Both demonstrating to us that this is not the post-Avengers 1 Loki we have gotten used to, and in dedicating significant screentime to his change in mood as a result of Mobius deliberately deprogramming (reprogramming?) him. He spent an indeterminate amount of time having Sif beat the magnificence right out of him.
I've got two episodes left of the Unsleeping City podcast to listen to on my commute and then I'll have to go back to CR or something.
Its not directly D20, but Worlds Beyond Number is Brennan, erika, lou and Aabria’s long form dnd podcast. Id HIGHLY recommend paying $5 to the patreon for the prequel children's adventure, but you can still start on the free feed with episode #1 without issue.

The patreon also gives you the “talking about the episode” episodes and a couple short two shots ran by erika or aabria.
Whoops. Quoted instead of edited.

Thanks! I've already got Worlds subscribed. I did listen to the Children's adventure and was waiting to finish all the D20 stuff I have access to first before starting up the main show. Last I checked it was ready to go on my Podcast app...hopefully that hasn't changed.
Thanks! Thuis is something I'll look into. Can't watch in the car, but maybe in my office.
"Guys, I just... We're fighting with a big black pot?"
Agreed with others here: 10/10, no notes. Like, there's just so much that makes it perfect as an episode, a season finale and a series finale. I already loved the show so much that I was afraid they were going to fumble the landing because it would be one hell of a landing to stick, and they not only stuck it, I'm still in awe about how fucking well they stuck.
I watched (out of habit) for a post credits tease, and there was none. Which, I should be mad at, and yet I'm just still in awe that they had the confidence to end it where it ended and leave it at that.
The only sad thing for me is that, at least narratively, it would make no sense to see Loki any further. Yes, you can concoct reasons to have him show up, but his story is complete, there's no reason for him to show up again, and that just makes me sad because I want more.
I think this kid's gonna be good
Also if you haven't, Not Another D&D Podcast. It has Murph and Emily from D20, and also Caldwell Tanner and Jake Hurwitz. It's fucking great. The first few episodes of the first campaign are a bit rough as everybody finds their footing, and it was Jake's first exposure to D&D. Lots of laughs though.
