Sorry to hear that! I hope things get better soon.

I was a bit disappointed Ambassadors didn't get an omnibus edit on the Season 7 box set. I think it would have benefited from the tightening up, much more than Silurians or Inferno.

Incidentally, I am convinced the Expanse was partially inspired by repeats of Pertwee-era Who. Book/Series 1 has a lot in common with Frontier in Space and Book 4 is a near exact remake of Colony in Space. Colony even has a character called Jim Holden.

Thank you! The Expanse and 2001: A Space Odyssey are my big visual references for Space Pirates.

No, me neither as a rule!

Thank you! I can categorically say that's not going to happen, but it's nice that so many people would like it to!

Oh well. The overwhelming majority of the comments have been lovely, heartening and appreciative.

One of my favourites is this Chinese Lego-clone brand which reluctantly changed their name to Lumibricks after being told that their original choice, Funwhole, didn't have quite the wholesome connotations they were looking for in English.

Is there some chain of logic between pirate chest > pirate > wooden leg and hook > amputee? Or am I crediting them with too much thought?

I am bearing it in mind. But see the trailer at the end of DMP!

Thank you!

Well, 9 years for me to get the Space Pirates animation out of the way, then I'll see what I feel like doing next. 8 more missing episodes for DMP at 3 years each, so we're looking at 2058, assuming I haven't died of old age before then. How does that sound?

What's really unsettling is how much Bret looks like Bruce Willis when his textures and hair are disabled.

Having just spent the last 2 hours trying to get a hyperactive baby to go to sleep, yes, I know exactly what you mean.

That's very kind - thank you!
