I re-watched the first few minutes of Episode 1 of this season and there appeared to be a lot more gun shots -- especially random shots into various parts of the resort.

That was pretty awesome.

I think the 60 minute run time was the death knell from the beginning. Having re-watched some @Midnight episodes recently, the 30 minute run time forced them to keep the episodes tight with very little filler. There is so much padding in After Midnight. Taylor's stand up to start the show was ok, but in the original show everything Taylor mentions in her standup was normally written into the show. Add in the FTW challenge changes to some of the stupidest and/or laziest ideas -- who is taller, where in the world was this random guy's picture taken, games that were basically 50/50 guesses, etc. -- compared to the original show where the contestants in FTW actually had to come up with something creative on their own and the audience picked which was the best answer not knowing who wrote which answer. Hashtag wars was one of the best parts of the original series and they marginalized it in After Midnight.

Ron Funches has been on After Midnight just once -- on March 6, 2024. Glad to see Andy Richter is going to be back again.

I liked the Mini Moose.

I suppose we are never going to find out what was the deal with the partially decomposed frozen seal.

Since we don't have a Manifest 'In Other Roles' thread, spotted Melissa Roxburgh in a new NBC series tonight called 'The Hunting Party'. Think 'The Blacklist' meets 'Prison Break'. Sort of. I think Melissa might be typecast because she is playing a law enforcement officer. Again.

Flanders was born in 1959 ? I thought he was 60 years old -- that was stated outright way back in Season 10 when Ned and Homer got married in Las Vegas to waitresses.

I liked that this episode moved back to the 8pm time slot -- didn't like the 2 minute delay in the episode start time for the Special Forces promo. Felt like there were some edits in the episode to squeeze in the shorter run time. That really was a deep pull -- the question is how did they got out of France's Wine Jail ? And where was Maurice the donkey ?
