I wonder if Gambit asked Beast to put together a Greasemonkey script to change website interfaces to be in his particular Cajun accent, i.e. the relationship status option on Facebook becomes “It Complicated” instead of “It’s Complicated”.
(Non-interface parts of sites, posts for example, are left alone)
If Beast didn’t, Cypher probably did in a fit of pique, and GAMBIT KNEAUX’s WHY!”
On the later seasons side, Nikki could have a dress up or makeup game. M.K. def has a horror stealth game. Tony gets maybe, I don’t know, a driving game. And something for Charlotte. I see the vision. (Orphan Black was great.)
So, has there been a story titled ‘Bishop’s Gambit’? Seems like it’s right there. Also ‘Orphan Black’ has been one of the few things in the last 20 years that interrupted my cartoon watching.
