Was honestly surprised to see John Lithgow Playing Stannis Baratheon take it again at the end (though the final was an absolute freebie).

haveblue posted:How does nobody know the term "World Wide Web" any more Vulture Culture posted:I had to explain to my wife how it was different from "the Internet" (she obviously was familiar with the term) and how the Internet had been around in some form for a decade and a half before networked hypertext became a thing. Yeah, most people don't think of them as different things anymore, they just conflate the two. I wasn't too sure of the answer myself, but I had heard of Tim Berners-Lee as the inventor of the World Wide Web a couple months ago on NPR or something like that, so that stuck in my mind for some reason. Was still second guessing myself because no way could that be the answer because it was too simple and didn't sound like what the clue was asking for, yet it was.

Hell, I work in tech, know who Tim Berners-Lee is and was the weird kid who was online in 1995 and I couldn't think of World Wide Web. It's a very 90s term that I'd long forgotten about I guess.

HookShot posted:I said hyper text transfer protocol If it makes you feel better, I said search engine. It's super easy to forget that The World Wide Web is its own thing. Back in the old AOL days, I just assumed it was another nickname for the internet. Like cyberspace or information super highway or whatever. Also, I was super impressed Harold: The Hunchback Who Lives in the Batcave was a clue.

Watching today's rerun ep from like last year, and I love that a guy who is obviously high on something wound up with a runaway lead going into final. The reruns have been better than this season this week. Final jeopardy this week has been a giant amount of wtf. E: they really had a trick category today. That us states category was just WTF. It was a battle of who could buzz in fastest after the clue was selected. No test of knowledge, just of reflexes. Dr Jankenstein fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Apr 8, 2016 |

Well, they were trying to trick the contestants with the $1000 clue, but yeah, after the first couple of clues, that was basically free money and didn't even get them. I think it didn't help that the first commercial break interrupted the flow of them going straight down the category, either. That NY Yankees Final was pretty drat easy (and I'm not just saying that because I'm from NY and a Yankees fan), and Ricky walks away with a pretty good payday.

Vulture Culture posted:Given the way she talks, her buzzer skill is startling. She's definitely given the most impressive single game performance since Matt Jackson, and probably came close to setting a show record for most money accumulated before the first commercial break. I don't think she ever buzzed in and gave a wrong answer that whole game, which is a really terrifying Alex Jacob thing. She doesn't wager quite as conservatively as I expected on Daily Doubles, either. She also never seemed to buzz in for a question she wasn't absolutely sure she knew the answer to. Even though she buzzed in for like everything.

He looks less obviously high compared to his first episode, but I love that he just has fun with his runaway leads.

CaligulaKangaroo posted:Losing with over 30,000 has to be painful. Especially when it's by just a dollar. Wow drat, that sounds like quite an episode. In this latest one Andrew blew through everybody and ignored Alex tempting him to try to set the one day record, though he really should have gone for it on that last Daily Double. It came up with one 2k question left, and with his lead he could have wagered almost 30k and still been guaranteed a win. Safer to try to double up through a daily double than double jeopardy, in my opinion. I'm hoping he puts a nice streak together, though I'm biased since my name is also Andrew. He does have this weird sort of Jeopardy charisma though.
