I quite liked Davison, although he had some big shoes to fill given what an amazing job Tom Baker did. Since I hardly watched DW after about 1981 it's not really fair of me to pick on either Colin Baker or Sylvester McCoy. Neither of them did it for me but I didn't see enough of either of them to ha...

Okay, an easy one: On what planet will you find bungles, kitchets and khoontzes? Bonus credit for a brief description of each.

A clue is in order: The author is better known for his voluminous Fantasy series of novels. Based on that, I guessed this was the kind of thing Piers Anthony might have written, so Google doesn't quite take all the credit for this one.

Missing foes: Mutant and Swarmer. Game: Defender. Elite game element: It had a scanner? Two out of three, but as to the game element, Defender shared something with Elite that (core) Oolite doesn't have... or, as I understand it, doesn't have any more.

The name's different but the effect is the same.

In that case let's continue the 1980s arcade game theme:

What two foes are missing from the following line-up, what space-themed game were they in, and what game element is connected with one from Elite (not usually Oolite...)?

Lander, Baiter, Bomber, Pod

Thanks … a gaming question, this time: name the source of the quote

“BAD MOVE, SPACE CADET”

GORF-IAN RO-BOTS CONQUER ANOTHER GA-LAXY!

Okay... What's unusual about the sex scene towards the end of the John Varley short "The Phantom of Kansas"? :lol: thank you for an enjoyable read. the whole story is up on his website for free.... Call it masturbation orchestrated for two. lol do clones count i wonder? as neither of them...

"Frell!" and its derivatives, Farscape.

"Stomm!" and "Drokk!" both from Judge Dredd.

"E chu ta!" is a Huttese curse-word that shocks C3PO in The Empire Strikes Back

Pierson's Puppeteers (from Niven's "Known Space" shorts and novels); they have two front legs and one rear. You could reasonably count their necks as limbs as well since they have an eye and a mouth at the end of each of their two necks, and their mouth does duty for a hand - very capably ...
