I love the new intro! It's like they never left for a month. My morning routine feels so much more enriched with GMM back. Also I agree about both of their Olympics ideas.

I have to agree about the intro but there is just one thing I would change. Instead of the chicken, they should have used the randler.

Ah yeah, the randler would have been better. But fire-breathing chicken is cool, too. Chickens are a morning thing.

That's true

Fire-breathing chicken (rooster?) with bat wings and a spiny tail, no less!

It's a cockatrice, another mythical beast.

I know! That would make a lot more sense...

Actually I think having the cockatrice is cool, since it's a mythical rooster hybrid and roosters wake people up in the morning! (traditionally...) They *did* include the RandLer for us though - look closely at the left side of the path as it zooms in.

Thanks, Raven. I saw that there were easter eggs in the intro, but I hadn't found any of them.

Wow, you beat Gumbo to the post! (Might want to check with him about formatting the title to fit future posts? He seems to have a system going). You should figure out how to get the thumbnail from the video to add to the post!

I didn't think I'd like having a new music intro, but I actually do like it. Especially cool that Kendrick Kidd did the artwork for it (when watching it, I thought, "Hey, that looks like it's done by the guy who did the Up to This Point album art...it is!")

I *loved* how they started with the wheel spinning, and having it land on "start season 2" was perfect (If you pause, you can see it does indeed read that). I wonder how many takes they had of that shot before it landed on the right one?

I wonder how the "secret" wheel entries work. Are they secret to *us*, so that we can't try to read what's on the wheel? Or are they secret to R&L as well, which would imply that Jason had selected, written down, and covered up those ones? Hmmmm....

And did anyone else notice that the background for the "Cauldron of Creativity (TM)" blurb is the card table itself? That made me chuckle.

It feels better than I expected to have GMM back this morning.

I just watched it and thought, "oh, now there's an intro" and not remembering that there was that toast intro s 1
