Smugle or Strugle? – Dispatches From Smegle

[Flap Jack]

Howdy doodly do, folks! As we’ve now had 2 weeks of the Difficult Daily, I thought it might be prudent to move discussions of the day’s puzzle and our scores to a dedicated thread, so we’re not just bloating the comments of the “Reintroducing Smegle” post all the time. Let that be for more general feedback (or bug reports).

And of course, if you get any share-worthy frames in Casual Continuous, feel free to post those here too!

To start us off,

5/6

Somewhat tricky, but once I’d got the right series I felt confident I could narrow it down enough not to fail.

Also, what do you think: should this thread be spoiler-free, or not? I’m leaning towards not – because I generally prefer to do the Difficult Daily myself before hearing about others’ scores anyway, and it would be cool to speak openly without having to wait until the next day – but only if there’s consensus on it.

Timewave, Krysis, had the wrong scene in mind but a win is a win.

Can of Worms (thought it was the Polymorph), Krysis (thought it was the Universe), Officer Rimmer (thought it was from when the Rimmonster goes on the rampage)

It’s weird to think that I once broke a 100 streak. Nowadays I’m lucky if I reach 20.

I thought Cured. Then thought, no, it can’t be. So guessed Officer Rimmer and Samsara. Two episodes in the same series.
