made more funny from the fact that they paid for a set of muffle enchanted armor (15k gp) to be specifically made back in kraghammer and then just never picked it up xD
The best part about that whole exchange, including Ashley's quip at the end, is that she had nothing to do with it. Apparently someone on the crew has seen Critical Role at least enough to know about Pike, and that was written in by the actual script writer.
It just stayed as a home game, and they all live in New York apparently. ... they should have all appeared in an ep like they were the Lone Gunmen or something.
The Stargate universe is also canon in blindspot. When Bill Nye (Patersons dad) came into an episode he mentioned working with Rodney McKay (from Stargate Atlantis), and there’s also a Stargate Atlantis episode matching that where Bill Nye works directly with Rodney McKay (they are enemies tho)
Which is funny when you think about it, cuz no matter how you try to work it, Pike exists, which makes Patterson the real person who pretends to be Ashley Johnson/Pike Trickfoot every Thursday.
I have an idea that the line "Actually I'm a gnome cleric" wasn't in the script, but that Ashley told them that's what character She actually plays, so she/they changed it.
@@bookworm4126 And sadly, the plate with stealth magic they had commissioned was destroyed when the dragons took out most of the city. I still think about that and it has been so many years.
Cast of Critical Role: "Since you keep taking our Pike away, be sure to scatter lots of Critical Role merch in your show." Blindspot Writers: "I'll do ya one better."
Me before watching this: "I don't really like BlindSpot. They keep Ashley from being on Critical Role all the time" Me after watching this: "You're still keeping Ashely from us... but I'm gonna start watching your show now you awesome people"
So the writers of this just wanted to reference Ashley's busy split schedule between the show and Critical Role? This is the kind of thing I miss in television.
It is funny how searching Ashley Johnson Blind Spot on youtube gets this as a first result. And yup, Critter here :))) just watched a q&a they did about this exact moment
I wonder if Patterson is a Critter. Like I know it's a bunch of references that she's Pike on Critical Role but like... the character of Patterson could also canonically be a Critter.
Throwing that critical role reference in there all stealth like, good on the writers i guess - Its a shame i started watching critical role so late bc i watched this episode of Blindspot ages ago and was oblivious XD
I have never cared to watch the series myself, but I heard about this scene, and when my wife was watching I made her get my attention when it was coming.
I've been thinking about him being asked to do a scene where he dm's Ashley and some other people, or have everybody from CR come out to film if they are all in NYCC, or just film a scene of Ashley Skyping in a real game on Thursday.
Watching The Legend of Vox Machina, and I've just realised that her line "Actually, I'm a Gnome cleric" is in reference to Pike Trickfoot and I LOVE it.
Oh that was awesome! I love the Critical Role references, I think it would be absolute amazing if Matt Mercer had a guest appearance and he was a bad guy or something that manipulated people and things but also had multiple personalities :P. Patterson could be like "I've heard of this guy....I would not want him as my GM."
