Yeah, it's always hard to re-connect with new characters if the old characters are the ones you love, no matter which order you meet them in.

And to be very fair, VM has a very rocky start, because nobody knew what Critical Role was going to be or how to roleplay live on camera - one of the reasons the M9 has been so good is because they now all have several years of experience doing this!

I just miss VM a lot.....
