Looks like Apollo has too many cards.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
It does, doesn't it? Apollo, you need to discard one card. When you're ready, please post your choice of discard.
Oh, wait, it's Apollo. All discards are random. Give me a moment.

Carry on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
BSG (Apollo)
Oh, crap, I didn't realize I had a random discard coming! Oh well, worked out okay.
Good luck, Cally!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG (Cally)
unfortunately I did not draw an XO. I'm going to try to get out of here and I can help a little.
I activate the brig.

Cally has activated the brig. It's a skill check, 7 YP. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Roslin plays first, Cally last.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I finished the story mode in Lego Batman 2 last night. I'm kind of surprised (though not disappointed) that the game is more World's Finest than Justice League. Superman shows up fairly early, but the rest of the League isn't available until near the end.
I'm also going to have John Williams' Superman theme stuck in my head for the next week. (If you take to the air with Superman on the overmap, the regular soundtrack fades out and his theme fades in. I spent several hours flying around the city rescuing Citizens in Peril.)
I have to say the game was pretty enjoyable, but the "sandbox" Gotham City idea works better in theory than in practice. There's just not much to do beyond wandering around, fighting constantly spawning thugs while trying to find red and gold bricks and rescuing people from one of 4 situations (how many people really need to be stuck on top of a broken fire hydrant?)
The actual levels work a lot better and the storyline is decently entertaining.
I want to say the actual voice acting works much better in this where there's a completely new story, vs Lego LOTR (which I've only played a couple levels of so far) where the movie dialogue feels drastically at odds with the normally whimsical tone of the games. The pantomime in the other games works better with the inserted silliness.

Administrative note: Destiny's play into the check reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished it and reshuffled the discards.
