Outstanding podcast, as always. Amanda can guest-host anytime. Just a part of what makes GY The World’s Best Married Geek Podcast–with Children.
Also thanks for introducing us to (and keeping us tuned in to) Debs and Errol. With all the geektastic stuff that’s been going on with them lately, it might be time to have Errol (or both) back on the podcast for an update.
Can’t recall if you mentioned this or not, but regarding a “comic book-style” resurrection cheapening the impact of the character’s initial death:
Agent Coulson.
Q.E.D.
Oh, yeah. Agent Coulson. How did we miss that?
Thank you so much! Fun fact: when I went to a convention dressed as HP Lovecraft, a bunch of folks kept coming up wanting photos with Agent Coulson… It was awkward.
