drawing (with ink) practice! (On sticky notes)! These are my all-time favorite characters that I could think of.

All of those men have gone mad, but each has done it in his own unique way, and I think the biodiversity is beautiful.

Milo's first question is, "what are you doing in a tree?"

not "why are you in a tree bare naked?"

The American Future

On his way to the Theatre of Pompey, where he would be assassinated, a haughty Julius Caesar passes the seer who had warned him that harm would come to him on the Ides of March. “Well, the Ides of March are come,” says Caesar, mocking the seer. “Aye, they are come,” says the seer, “but they are not gone.” By the end of the Ides of March in 44 BCE, Caesar’s power over the Roman Republic had come…

Shameless Big Bang:

Melania by milominderbindered

A lot’s changed in the two years since Ian and Mandy ran off.  Terry’s dead, Svetlana’s moved out, the Kash and Grab has started stocking blue Gatorade – oh, and Mickey’s been raising his brother’s baby ever since Tony went to jail.

But when he realises he might be stuck with the kid for good, Mickey decides to move out of Chicago and actually give her a chance in life.  And it’s the couple of familiar faces he finds when he gets to Philly that really set change in motion.

checking in to let everyone know I had a dream last night that I was in a new movie with the muppets and tim curry. he was a charming black widower trying to marry miss piggy for her money and celebrity status, and she was a beloved hollywood icon. kermit was her broke high school sweetheart whose best friend (fozzy) got him a job on set after he was kicked out of his apartment for being late on rent. I played piggy's best friend who was always getting into get rich quick schemes, who tim curry's character mistook for a fellow scammer after I naively got all of the muppets into a predatory mlm and nearly derailed the movie because they were all doing milo minderbinder schemes on set trying to sell each other their assorted warehouse trash. kermit was the only one immune to the hype because he had no money.

it culminated in tim curry calling off the wedding and fleeing with everyone's mlm investments, because he knew kermit and fozzy and me had rumbled his larger scheme, and the three of us racing to catch up to him before miss piggy did because the truth would devastate her. naturally she arrived just in time to hear his nefarious monologue about how he never respected her and despite all the wealth and fame she was just 'some common pig'. and naturally she tore off her earrings and beat the shit out of him. and then naturally she finally saw kermit had been right in front of her all along, and he told her he didn't care if she had money or fame because even back in school he always liked that common pig. basically I got a look into a parallel universe and it was great.

How much of an influence on DS9 was MASH? Because there are definitely times when DS9 feels like MASH in space, and I mean that in the best of ways.

I don't remember ever discussing M*A*S*H in the room, so I wouldn't say it served as an overt inspiration.

However, I watched every episode of M*A*S*H growing up (my mother was a big fan) and I'm sure the other writers were very familiar with it, too. It was still a hugely influential show in the early 90s, one that every TV writer knew well, so I suspect it had some unconscious effect.

The only episodes I can think of that might have been directly inspired by M*A*S*H are the ones we did about wartime/frontier "horse-traiding" chain deals like "Progress," "In the Cards," and "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" which harken back to several similar "horse-trading" stories from M*A*S*H, like "Hey, Doc" and "For Want of a Boot."

But there's a long tradition of those types of stories in war and frontier fiction, with Milo Minderbinder's wheeling and dealing in "Catch-22" being a prime example. Not to mention, "chain deal" stories go all the way back to fairy tales.

For reference:

Chain of Deals - TV Tropes

Also, that's a very flattering comparison. So thanks!
