  • Critical Role: After a shocking scene involving Vax and Vex accidentally killing Scanlan’s daughter Kaylie and Percy's sister Cassandra, and Arkhan nearly killing Gilmore, all beloved Non Player Characters, because Big Bad Vecna planted them in the team's way in helmeted Mook armor to take advantage of their "shoot first, ask later" tendencies, Travis Willingham screams at Matthew Mercer: "What did you do?!? You 'Kevin Spacey from Seven' motherfucker! What did you do?!?" Adding to the allusion is the fact that Arkhan, being a Guest-Star Party Member unfamiliar with Gilmore, thought he was a minion and would have beheaded him if Pike hadn't intervened.
