[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8435198, member: 6704184"] Others will care, still others with go back and rewatch when soemthing becomes relevant later, and most CR fans enjoy Matt’s style of exploring the space before beginning the story. It’s just a southern voice. Matt isn’t as loose with the rules as Aabria, which is more to her credit than his, IMO. That’s a pretty normal pronunciation. Either of those changes would have made the episode less good, IMO. There is a thing at play that you’re missing. When you give someone a bunch of information, it ticks away in the back of thier head, and is easier to quickly grok later when you give them part of the same information again. When Matt brings up one of the factions he mentioned, or some element of the region’s history, there will be sudden recognition on several faces, and they’ll be excited that the thing Matt said forever ago is suddenly come up. Wow. Maybe it’s because I don’t need the MD to run the game how I do to enjoy the show, god knows Matt doesn’t, but I just don’t see what could be “unwatchable” about it to someone who likes CR in general. Because it’s effective and most people get very evocative mental images when you describe panning out from the alleyway where our heroes are catching thier breath and laughing at thier narrow escape, to see the cloud of black smoke that hasn’t yet risen high enough to be seen by them, as a way to foreshadow consequences that will be coming after them very soon. None of the merch was ugly, Sam’s musical was hilarious, announcements aren’t shilling, and the merch was maybe 2 minutes of those announcements. I know a few new viewers who watched last night. None of them cared that the beginning of the show was housekeeping. The combination was fine, and pretty normal. Starting with an action scene would have been trite and forced, and I’d have been rolling my eyes. The investigation into the circus was one of the best epeusides of the first 20 or so episodes.
