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.

You got lucky Stabbim, but know for the future that this is the gambler’s fallacy. It can be the same episode 2 days in a row, and has been.

(Also, shouldn’t that be a 28?)

Same. Thought it was Rimmer in VI/VII blue. I know Cat wears that outfit in Nanarchy because Kryten points at a diamond button to explain nanobots.

Bodyswap, Justice, Psirens, Me2, Future Echos, 

I was convinced that was the face of a mid series Lister. Not so young as I but not as old as VI 

the pinning it down based on a T-shirt he wears all the time is tough.

Can’t believe I went straight from a loss to 3 first guess wins in a row.

Here to break up the monotony of one guess wins, always at your service 😆

I thought “it’s a bucket of popcorn, but it can’t be Camille, because it’s taking up to much of the screen” as I was only thinking of the Kryten & Camille wide shot. 

So I went for Bodyswap because, er, food.
