While that was a mistake in retrospect, I can at least understand why she might have looked elsewhere in season 1 - it hadn't hit its stride yet and people were "ehhhh" about it.
But Farrell had SIX YEARS under her belt and bailed on the last season. I mean, there's plenty of examples of why that doesn't work. Not even William Shatner got any ratings with TJ Hooker.
And make-up, but yeah. I don't recognize at least half of them. Age and the camera angle might also contribute.
If a deliberate mis-spelling, well done. If not... I dunno what to say.
And can somebody please do a left-to-right on who those actors are, and what their roles were? I'm getting some of them, but hardly all.
Yes, it was intentional.
On the left to right: Aron Eisenberg (Nog), in the hat and glasses the guy whose name I can't spell that played Rom, Marc Alaimo (Gul Dukat), Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko), Michael Dorn (Worf, son of Mohg), Terry Ferrell (Good Dax), Armin Shimerman (Quark), Nana Visitor (Major Kira), Nicole DeBoer (Other Dax), Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun), Andrew Robinson (Plain, Simple Garak), Rene Auberjonois (Odo), Penny Johnson (Mrs. Sisko), and Chase Masterson (Leeta).
No wonder HBO changed Dario's looks.
I actually kind of appreciate the fact that speed limits are lower down here than up in Washington. There are a LOT more deer around here. In fact, here's one in my backyard.
I was driving into the sunset last week. And I only noticed the deer because it was moving. If it was standing still, it would have blended into the color of the road. I just noticed a wiggle motion in the middle of the road. My mind first thought gator. Because it seemed like something crawling on the road. Then the legs became visible. And I had enough time to switch lanes and drive behind him. I honked the horn. Hoping that it will instill some fear of the highway into the little fella.
No wonder so many people hit deer, their fur does not reflect headlights. I just saw the shadow.

There's a reason I don't haul ass in the unincorporated area, no matter the call. We have hood deer here - they don't give fuck number one about traffic.
Talk about your totalitarian fantasies...
At the risk of needing transplantation to somewhere in the political subforum, the principle also applies to so-called "responsible encryption," which is the name some people give to encryption that is, "Strong for everyone else but weak when WE need it to be" (another word for which would be "ineffective.")

And that collection was missing Whatchamacallit! Such an 80's commercial for it:
But I guess it's still made, so it doesn't fit the title of that post.

The really distressing thing is I still remembered ALL THE LYRICS to that commerical. Yes, all the nonsense words.
They played that commercial a LOT during Saturday morning cartoons. Probably why I'm in the same boat.

That's why Nestle sold it's candy division to Ferrero. The cost of chocolate has been rising for a while (Mr. Goodbar hasn't been able to be legally called chocolate for like a decade, it's just chocolate flavored). A lot of this is because chocolate was artificially cheap because it was farmed using exploitative labor practices. That, and I suspect that China's development has increased it's consumption, and thus there's more demand for a limited supply.
In any case, expect chocolate prices to continue to rise, and candy companies to start to push more alternatives like Hersey's first new candy bar in 22 years (Hershey Gold, which contains no chocolate).
