I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.
I'm never not thinking about "Geralt! Don't leave me!" "You must be mad, Dandelion. You must be mad with fear if you think I would ever leave you" like yeah okay Sapkowski wrote that and just expected me to be normal about it. As if that was ever an option
I wonder how well an "It's just an empty box" episode of Game Changer would go. Just a series of challenges that look fucking suspicious as hell but with absolutely nothing more than face value about them. Then you just have Sam act suspicious the entire episode and see where things go from there. Ideas I have are:
Ominous spotlight illuminates one of the players.
Pick a word someone says or action someone does a lot. Play a little chime anytime it happens.
Legal paperwork is brought out mid episode. It's dense and 200-300 pages thick.
A small black box is brought out. There's a small hole cut in it. Sam says the box is definitely empty and they just have to put their hands in. Don't worry, there's nothing there. Why are you crying?
Randomly start saying "Sam Says" but assure contestants they're not playing Sam Says.
Drop a mannequin from the ceiling.
This has been my pitch for "Give Brennan an ulcer 2024."
