really interested in wether any of them will mention in react from the hip today how Tom used the same kind of line twice in omgitaj- where he was like “I could of mimed it but I did not” and “I could have said chicken I chose not to”

I noticed it once and now I always pick up on it- it’s not bad i just think it’s the type of line where if you say it twice it loses some of the comedic value it held the first time. That being said I love both of those lines a lot!

Curious as to what observations they make though

Oh my God, is this a Joke- 8/10

This play is, honestly, one of the top five plays for me. A world war 2 epic, a love triangle culminating in a thrilling sword fight- the story is coherent, the plot beats are well spaced, the characters are real and the acting top-notch. Sam repeatedly coming in as an unspecified beast to help out was brilliant comedically and just plain useful. Tom plays Xavier incredibly as a villain everyone loves to hate and hates to love. The love story is compelling and realistic (ish?), Luke plays a sassy french woman, the accents are on point, there are gay nazis (I'm moving into your western front!)...what more could you ask for? The only reason I'm taking off points is because of the amount of times the name of the village changed- from Von Ponte to Von Dante to Vonte de la Ponte, then back to Von Ponte...as well as Tom walking straight through a horse. Oh, and for Luke using the word d'accord way too often and incorrectly. Even with all that, it's a strong contender for best play of theirs.

Sam in that stupid fucking jacket my beloved

[dereks-unrelenting-heart]

Okay the only SFTH member I'd say I consistently simp for is Luke, HOWEVER there's just something about Tom as Xavier tilting Luke back in his chair during OMGITAJ that makes me feel a certain way-

That forehead kiss was so sweet

I liked that they added the first audience suggestion into the story, best character in the longform, 10/10

Same thing for Zombie #1

Yep, see, fried brain, dont remember the jokes, theres a mosquito around here, ooh speaking of

I do not like Xavier as a person. That doesn’t mean he’s not HOT.

I gave omgitaj a(nother) rewatch and noticed… something. When French chariot-driver Sam meets Jean-Luc, he says they’re in Bordeaux. Let’s say near, to give them all a bit of grace (They can’t actually be in Bordeaux for reasons. Also where would you raise chickens there).

(Sam also later corrects Tom by saying "les coqs" which is 1) wrong, because in this context "coq" is singular, so it would be "le coq", and 2) wrong, because in this context "coq" is indefinite and it would be "des coqs", which, as stated in the first point, is also wrong, since it should be a singular, finally giving us "un coq". Which is stupid, because Tom already used the, albeit English (although it does sound like the French), singular indefinite article. Sam, with all due respect, you know nothing, stfu.)

Anyway, back to Bordeaux, it means that Jean-Luc ran all the way from (supposedly) near Berlin without meeting anyone nor realising he crossed the border (and probably without taking a break).

Bordeaux is here:

LOOK! Bro ran at the very least 700 km in 1942 France territory. And that’s being nice! The shortest distance between Berlin and Bordeaux is 1300 km.

Let’s do some unrealistic maths. I know someone who has been running marathons for a long time. For his last run, his speed varied between 8 and 10 km/h (well it was mostly between 10 and 11 but that’s not the point).

Assuming Jean-Luc, a trained spy and soldier, ran all the way without stopping to eat, drink or sleep, at a sustained 8 km/h speed, he made the 1300 km in 6 days and 18 (and a half!) hours. A WHOLE WEEK. That’s 3 days and 16 (and a half!!) hours FULLY IN FRANCE. How did he not notice we’ll never know.

Anyway, props for Sam for at least choosing a city that was actually occupied (I’m not entirely sure he knew, tbh, he might have just said the first thing that came to his mind). It does raise an issue, which is the number of borders Jean-Luc went through without noticing.

Below is a map of France in 1942. The blue (as well as the green-striped) part is the free territory, the light orange the occupied territory, the red, the forbidden zone, and the bright orange, the annexed one.

Notice how Bordeaux is in the forbidden zone? That’s the reason I evoked earlier.

Let’s be kind and say they were indeed fully outside Bordeaux, this makes a whopping 4 borders Jean-Luc crossed, again, while running without meeting anybody, you know the drill by now.

To break down the numbers, Jean-Luc ran:

150 km (18h45 min) in the forbidden zone,

225 km (1d4h) in occupied territory,

225 km (1d4h) in the free territory,

and another 75 km (9h30min) in occupied territory.

When you see how much work was done by the Résistance to smuggle Jews to the free territory, this is crazy.

There’s no real point to this post except making you all aware of the additional absurdity of this play and maybe let’s change Jean-Luc’s assignment? He would work miracles
