did the Mutant X and Andromeda convo result from this news?
No, although it was mentioned therein.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, when she took the wig off? And she gathered the liquid Odo onto her skirt? I was all moved and stuff.
That's a great storyline. Lwaxana could easily be kind of shrill and one-note, but that whole relationship between her and Odo was so great.
And then I caught the last half hour of "Duet" yesterday. Harris Yulin doesn't leave one piece of scenery unchewed, but I don't care. And last week was the episode where Kira was sent to one of the moons to relocate Bajoran settlers, and Jake and Nog ended up with a hundred gross of self-sealing stembolts.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The microbes fail for me because they still use alien words for which there seems to be a direct English equivalent (Trek does this too, all the freaking time). Also, by the time they got to Earth and had Aeryn and Grammy speaking English, it all fell to shreds for me.
Not to mention the "documentary" that aired (love how Moya was able to receive that broadcast, BTW -- she must have digital cable), with interviews with all the aliens. Either all the aliens learned perfect English, or the Earth was crop-dusted with translator microbes.

Yup, that's the problem with Farscape. You can't think about the science, or your head will explode.

Nah, they just all watched Sesame Street and learned, like Aeryn.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
"City of the Edge of Forever," written by Harlan Ellison.
Won a Hugo, didn't it?
Just checked. Yes, it did. Best Dramatic Presentation, 1968. Although it looks like every other thing that was nominated for it was also a Star Trek episode.

The original script was heavily revised, though, wasn't it? It was initially a crewman with a drug problem who dragged them down to the planet, or something like that.
Still a great episode.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The original script was heavily revised, though, wasn't it?
I think so. I seem to remember that Ellison washed his hands of it when it was first shown.

snerk. I went Googling. Apparently Ellison eventually got his original published, and I found this mini-summary of the book:
Harlan Ellison:
I am the greatest writer in the world. Roddenberry stinks. I worked myself into such a lather over the past thirty years that I can't even write coherently. I even threw in gratuitous profanity to prove I am really mad.

I have a plan.
Yup, that's the problem with Farscape. You can't think about the science, or your head will explode.
I love that they admit as much on occasion as well. I just wish I could remember the ep. Something to do with shrink rays and oxygen molecules and stuff like that.
