8.5 episodes in and The Terror: Infamy is a weird beast. I found myself far more interested in the potential of the internment storyline than the horror aspect: the show seems to feel the same, spending quite a lot of time on internment stuff entirely unconnected to what is presented as the A story

The Speak With Dead scene has happened to almost every group I have ever played with (especially with me as GM, who used to always play the unhelpful witness in BVC advocacy classes).
Honestly i just want more of that D&D movie the entire industry seems to want to forget about because they accidentally made a film too charming and now people have experienced a pleasant time and have expectations

What a fucking quote. This is terrible legal drafting on a scale I haven't seen in quite some time.
The Court’s eyebrows must be through the roof by now
![The Response was also noteworthy for its conspicuously florid prose. For
example, it featured an extended quote from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
and metaphors comparing legal advocacy to gardening and the leaving of
indelible "mark[s] upon the clay." (Response 3). And it included the following
passage:
Your Honor, in the ancient libraries of Ashurbanipal, scribes carried their stylus as both tool and sacred trust - understanding , that every mark upon clay
would endure long beyond their mortal span. As the role the mark (x) in Ezekiel Chapter 9, that marked the foreheads with a tav (x) of blood and ink, bear the same solemn recognition: that the written word carries power to preserve or condemn, to build or destroy, and leaves an indelible mark which cannot be erased but should be withdrawn, let it lead other to think these citations were correct.
I have failed in that sacred trust. The errors in my memorandum, however inadvertent, have diminished the integrity of the record and the dignity of these proceedings. Like the scribes of antiquity who bore their stylus as both privilege and burden, I understand that legal authorship demands more than mere competence — it requires absolute fidelity to truth and precision in every mark upon the page.
(Id. at 7-8). Needless to say, Mr. Feldman's overwrought metaphors and
historical references raised the Court's eyebrows.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreigldm7iyao5jmzvvxdf46rvq2jgopct4fi36uipnfjwmq5klrzy7m@jpeg)
