That sounds like a great haul for anon and her aegis pals!

Looks like the changes making ToV more time consuming have had a beneficial knock on effect to the rest of the earthquake raid scene!

It does!

I still think rotations would be better (or instances, or any other solution that actually involves letting anyone who wants to play EverQuest play EverQuest, instead of only letting those that compete in the made-up non-EQ wall staring game du jour), but you can't let perfection be the enemy of the good.

I didn't get past the first episode of Farscape.

And then they killed my Stargate by turning it into Fargate. :'(

loramin is the most talented troll on the forum and the most entertaining one since ATG.

also, he is a very nice man and is also polite and thoughtful and would make an excellent guide.

also he is Kayyte and Greengrocer and he stole my hat.

It's good to see you back here sir, you've been missed.

IDK though, maybe give it another shot? The first episode is kinda weak and very ... 80s (90s?), but like a lot of shows they have to set things up and it gets better. I missed it in it's time, but my wife and I have gotten into it on Prime and I can see why it's one of those beloved classic sci-fi shows.

It is cheesy as hell, imagine Star Trek meets the muppets.

It is and it isn't. I feel like this gets at it a little better:

When we think about space operas, we think about Star Wars or Star Trek, or even Stargate. These are the sweeping, grand sagas, with stalwart heroes and clear distinctions between right and wrong. Farscape is not that kind of story.

Commissioned by the Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy), produced by the Jim Henson Company, and shot in Australia, Farscape ran for four seasons from 1999 to 2003. Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Farscape was a bizarre, gun-toting series about criminals on the run; its main cast featured two puppets, several aliens, and only one human. This, along with its daring plot lines and downright absurdity, made it an instant cult hit, but Farscape never quite reached the brand recognition of its rivals. Yet this show quietly redefined sci-fi—and we can still see its influence on the genre today.

(Spoiler: the "influence" they're talking about is mainly Guardians of the Galaxy.)
