LOL. It was a crazy one thanks to Q. They did vote out the original
target of the one side, not the other. It looked like they had the
numbers to get Tiff out if she didn't play her idol and I wondered
when the craziness started if it was all an act to put Tiff at ease.
Turns out Q wasn't willing to vote out Tiff and was willing to
sacrifice himself instead for reasons I still don't get.

That's Q for you. Though if you have no other reason to differentiate
between the players I've heard of worse ways to decide who goes. Q
just seems to be one of those players who will leap to a conclusion
and the stick with it as long as he can.

Yeah, I'm the same. Looking at a few Justice League movies I want to
work through. Thinking of doing the Lego JL movie next since it's
chronologically the next (at least in terms of production.)

Another one I haven't watched because I got stuck with the performance
in the first episode. Which is a bit odd since I am a huge fan of the
games. I'll get to it eventually, probably this weekend. It's just I
can see what is going to happen in the first episode so it is a bit of
a slog when the raiders are so obvious.
