The show’s live.
I’m glad that you, dear reader, could read my notes, so that you can see what I added and cut. I revise scripts constantly before and during shooting. The conclusion got extended, the initial explanation got expanded, and I actually liked the way I punched the score in. I wish I had extended the length of that shot, though.
This show was the show where I explained how old sets had power concentrated in non-creature permanents to a much greater extent than today. That’s one of the issues I have wanted to talk about from the show’s inception.
Also, the Il Cartographer edit was incredibly ingratiating. Every time I see that card, I sing the song. It isn’t really danceworthy, but I wanted to be goofy on camera. There are one or two frames where you can see Strong Bad, but they’re mostly covered up well.
And yes, I probably will reference this joke in a later show, almost certainly during Odyssey block.
I like namedropping coverage people. I really regret not having worked with Rashad Miller or Marshall Sutcliffe or the SCG coverage people, but that’s what happens when almost everything I did in coverage happens in Japan.
