Episodes you could've sworn Chuck reviewed, but hasn't

I've just started a rewatch of DS9, mainly because the pilot was on a cable channel on Sunday and one thing kinda led to the other (same thing happened with B5 last year). Just got up to 'Dax', the season 1 episode, and I was absolutely certain Chuck had done this one, if only because of Sisko's log at the start talking bout Keiko going to Earth for her mother's 100th birthday and being baffled about a woman presumably in her sixties deciding to have a child. Compounded later in the episode by the Bajoran judge commenting that she's also 100 years old and has a great-granddaughter the same age as Jadzia.

On a semi-related note, I could've sworn there was a thread like this before as well.

That was in "Move Along Home" that he talked about that, IIRC.

Yeah, according to Memory Alpha, the O'Brien's trip lasted from ''Dax'' to ''The Passenger'' to ''Move Along Home'' and returns in ''The Nagus''. I presume Colm Meaney was doing something in real life that required a leave of absence.

Meaney was often allowed to go off and shoot movies. Funnily, Wil Wheaton was offered a role for a movie which would have required him to not participate in the production of the first episode of the third season, "The Ensigns of Command". However, Rick Berman would not let him go, telling him his part in the episode was too important to write off and it wouldn't be fair to everyone else, so Wheaton had to turn down the film. His role in the episode turned out to be practically nonexistent, only appearing in one scene with one brief line of dialogue in the transporter room. This is what would contribute to wanting to leave the show, along with his diminishing role in the series during seasons 3 and 4.

As for episodes I sworn Chuck reviewed but hasn't yet: It surprised me not too long ago that he never covered the "Shockwave" two-parter. Now I'm more eager than ever to hear his reaction over Archer's infamous gazelle speech. He's covered nearly all the first season ENTERPRISE episodes so far, it's about time he finish it so he'll never have to look back at them again!

Come to think of it, he hasn't covered a lot of season one episodes of DS9 like he has with all the other series' season ones.

And one of those was Die Hard 2, where Sloan murdered O'Brien.

That story of Wheaton's is a real biter. The fact that he was of the most established actors of the show next to Burton and Goldberg is kinda gnarly. He was only like 16.

Any landing that you can walk away from is a good one that's great.

I could have sworn he'd reviewed TNG "Manhunt," (ie, the episode where Lwaxana Troi shows up solely because she's cruising for ass) mostly because I have a vivid half-memory of him making fun of the fugly aliens of the week.

At one point I was 100% positive he had done Inheritance, seemed to recall him talking about the bits where Data knew something was off.
