I wanted to like this, but it didn't quite click for me.<br /><br />The game thing is based on a real game--Cicada 3301--that usually starts on a reddit or 4chan thread. It's apparently quite in-depth, and no one quite knows what the winners get, or if they are magically transported into the inside of a giant metaphysical pumpkin, or something. <br /><br />But this episode didn't quite pick up on the alleged thrill of quest-oriented gaming, and a lot of it left me cold. Not cold. That's too harsh. It left me lukewarm. :-)Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8987059342244057682014-10-02T23:28:01.244-04:002014-10-02T23:28:01.244-04:00I didn't get that opening, either.

It was actually really disorienting.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-79003991030172749882014-10-02T17:10:11.843-04:002014-10-02T17:10:11.843-04:00Yup.

There was the opening, then I believe we started with Finch working in the new Batcave where he got a text from John asking him if he'd like to go for a midnight snack then we cut to the diner where Finch got stood up.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2478614902684054792014-10-02T08:16:31.536-04:002014-10-02T08:16:31.536-04:00There was an opening narration?

As he talked, the main cast credits were shown at the bottom of the screen.<br /><br />If the episode I watched was missing the opening narration, did I miss a 'cold open' as well?Dr. Johnny Fevernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19434615197819082822014-10-01T17:58:41.210-04:002014-10-01T17:58:41.210-04:00Ren - Ugh that's why I get for writing these t...Ren - Ugh that's why I get for writing these things at 3 am.

Some great quips from our group, as usual, but it wasn't enough for me. <br /><br />Oh and: <br />Finch: “Don’t let your frustration with me effect your judgment.”<br />Shaw: “He’s going to let his frustration with you effect his judgment.”<br /><br />I think you mean "affect" here Rennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66005505586435258942014-10-01T12:50:42.735-04:002014-10-01T12:50:42.735-04:00The opening narration is slightly different.

This episode opened with "WE are being watched."<br /><br />The episode turned out better than the preview led me to believe, but yeah, Claire's motivation seemed more forced by plot than realistic.Dustinnoreply@blogger.com
