Been wondering if I should try those.  I'll take that as a cautious recommendation.

And it still feels fresh because he *wasn't* cribbing from Tolkein/D&D like everything else I read in the 80s was.

He was on the cover of the version we had and scared me for years even before I read the books (they were my older sister's, so they were on the bookshelf long before I read them).

Good point about the aging aspect.  Taran Wanderer was such a departure from the adventure, swords, and witches stuff in the first three books that it made me feel like a grown-up.  It's still my favorite of the series.

I read that not too long ago, also the Ford translation.  Man, is there some crazy stuff in there.

She and Namtar from last week's Farscape should get together.  And name their kid emordnilap.

@avclub-618fd0370047b25592c8a7db0ff8a9c0:disqus  D'oh, you're right!  I remembered an ungolved hand being significant in that scene, which makes a lot more sense if it were Talia.

**I KNOW THIS IS IN THE SPOILER THREAD, BUT THESE ARE BIG SO BE WARNED**

**SPOILERS CONTINUE**

Have we speculated yet about what kind of gear the Founders gave him?  Is he…fully functional?  Was his solid flaccid?

@avclub-285910f5ff9f9eddf129c46fc2bc5982:disqus The next two episodes after where you stopped  (Durka Returns and A Human Reaction) are when (in my opinion) it really starts to pick up, and the one after that (Through The Looking Glass) is one of the batshit crazy episodes for which Farscape is known.  Power through…

Keep…doing that

In honor of your extended Gowron riff upthread…

You're just setting this up for @avclub-e4e009abf54577f493010e8274557e52:disqus , aren't you?

heh-heh…fit in…

It's all that opera he listens to.

After he (SPOILERS FOR A REALLY STUPID PLOT POINT) killed that kid playing soccer, he was overly cautious about anything involving balls.

I was trying to think of how it could work as a Cheers analogue with Morn/Norm living vicariously through Worf/Sam and being happy he could help him score.  But then I realized…

Plus, Miles and Keiko already have a kid and this foot-rub routine likely led to…other things on occasion when Keiko was pregnant.  So there's an element of familiarity that — combined with being worn out from work, coloring with Molly, picking up the anti-sneezing drugs and all that — makes it take a second for him…
