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!

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.

slow start, but pulled it out late.  Fortunately, Lister doesn’t read very often

This was a fluke result as my phone installed an update that reset my progress halfway through. I’d guessed four other series before this.

Heartbreaking. I was perplexed at where Lister actually is in this shot, and was convinced early on that it couldn’t be in the ship, but clearly it is. I blame the Series VII film look (and the extremely normal looking light switch in the background).

Ultimately failed the toss up between “he’s going through Rimmer’s stuff in Blue” and “he’s trying to work out Kryten’s instructions in Beyond a Joke”.

Well clearly the honourable thing to do would have been to recreate your previous guesses before continuing. We’re all very disappointed in you, Dave.

as always with this season/series, I will claim I missed it on purpose because rewatching it regularly enough to instantly recognize it in Smegle is a Pyrrhic Victory

Thought it was the I/II top bunk at first, then a VII guess … yeah.

Would be ironic if this is the start of a losing streak.

A lucky guess after I finally recognized which series Kryten’s mask came from.

😅 Phew. After realising it was probably Series 8 I was somewhat confident it was the Back in the Red trilogy but not very confident.

Better than my normal efforts. My colour blindness normally prevents me from narrowing it down to a specific series, but the set and lighting made today’s easier.
