I honestly don't have too much to say about the story itself. I'll say more after the next one and leave this one to Anthony.
I would, however, like to address the...um...hiatus. Now there's a tactful way to put it. Here's a less tactful way: Why the hell did it take almost five years to get another run?
Would it help if I said that it wasn't intentional? After Series Eight ended in 2005, we fully intended to start the next run in 2006. The Boldly site said so for a long time (until 2008, I think). But then we both decided to focus our efforts on completing our respective series (Star Traks: The Vexed Generation for Anthony and Star Traks: Waystation for me) before we turned our attention back to Boldly. That took slightly longer than we thought.
Knowing that, we did actually start back into Boldly. I believe we actually wrote "Trial & Error" and the next story in 2007, prompting me to change the expected series premiere date on the Boldly site to 2008.
Obviously that didn't happen. I won't spend a lot of time getting into the details, but for me the reasons involved real life, increasing job responsibilities, and multiple family health issues, none of which were exceptionally conducive to writing comedy. We were still working on the stories, but the output slowed to a crawl. Knowing that, we didn't want to start posting until we had the entire run in the can, which didn't happen until earlier this year.
