Yeah, it felt like they were going to be a big deal, but then they quickly faded into the background. I think the previous episode involving them was the one where Riker’s transporter twin tried to steal the Defiant.

“For the Cause”: Hey, look! The Maquis are back! Haven’t heard from them in a while. This was a solid episode.

As usual, Viva La Dirt League have a video about that ...

OK. That one does look good, but it's out of my price range! I'll have to add it to my wishlist and wait for it to be on sale. Yeah. It's sad. I've never liked multiplayer-focused games. I've had some fun with SW: Battlefront II, but I mostly only played co-op. I don't like online PvP games...

I’ve been watching WW2 stuff with my girls lately – Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Memphis Belle … that’s given me a hankering to play a WW2 FPS. The only one I’ve got is Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, which is more than 20 years old now. Are there any good modern WW2 FPS single...

Yeah, that battle scene was great. Moving on, “The Muse” was … strange. Lwaxana being pregnant was weird, Odo marrying her in a sham marriage was weird, and that psychic vampire woman sucking out Jake’s life force was more than a little creepy in various ways.

Oh yeah! I forgot. And it wasn't that long ago that I watched that one. Whoops!

If you can still count 20+ years as "new". :P

"Shattered Mirror" was another good (if at times sad) mirror universe episode, but I can't help wondering why they didn't bring O'Brien over with Sisko. I bet the two of them together would've been able to get the mirror Defiant up and running faster. I would love to see the two versions of...

I've never listened to anything by KBW. I was thinking more along the lines of how you can hear swearing (except the F word) on live TV here, and malls and shops play the original versions of songs with swears, not the radio friendly edits, and so on.

You're not kidding! I was really taken aback by that when I first moved here and am still occasionally surprised by it.

That's a reference to kangaroos, not baby boomers, in case anyone is wondering.

It's been a looooong time since I went to (or watched on TV) the Christmas in the Park show. My kids are growing up! Are you based in NZ?

Both artworks are by Clyde Caldwell. The one with the lizardman was used on the cover of 1985's B9 Castle Caldwell and Beyond. The full art appeared in the 2e Monstrous Compendium Vol 2. I'm not familiar with B9, so I don't know if the lizardman has a name or not.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of children's songs. You don't hear those on the radio. None of those other ones you mentioned get any mainstream airplay, either. They're all pretty niche.

You’d think! But no, even our homegrown artists only ever seem to cover the northern hemisphere classics.

You’d be surprised! It is really weird to hear all the standard wintry Christmas songs in the middle of summer. I wish the Lands Down Under would move Christmas to June or July. There aren’t really any noteworthy “Christmas in summer” songs that I’m aware of, and I’ve lived in New Zealand for...

I didn’t want to watch “Rules of Engagement” (more Klingon stuff, courtroom drama), but I’m determined not to skip any episodes. I watched it sped up. It turned out to be OK. “Hard Times” was a hard watch. Talk about Miles suffering. Whew!

It's certainly hard for the guy in my Eberron game playing an artificer. I let the other players update to the new versions of their PC classes thinking that he'd be able to do so around the same time, but then the book got hit with the delay, and now he's left waiting ... he keeps asking, "When...

Yes, that's where I'm up to ... Keiko and Molly just returned after their year away. Yes, Miles groused a bit about losing his bachelor life with Julian, but Keiko saw that he was pining around, and she cared enough about Miles to arrange for him and Julian to spend some time together again...
