What if the Ramesses II had granted freedom and equal religious protection to the Israelites so that they never left Egypt and indeed joined forces with the Egyptians to help expand the New Kingdom? That could have an impact on world history.
158. Detect bloodline. You scan the target creature for up to 1 round/2 CL; each round you learn the identity of another generation of the creatures ancestors (first round, parents; second round, grandparents; third round, great grandparents; etc)
154. Chain reaction energy bolt. You fire a bolt of energy at a target (ranged touch attack); it does 1d6 points of damage and if there are other targets present it bounces to another target and then another and another to a maximum of twenty total targets hit. Each target beyond the first takes 1 additional point of damage more than the target before (2nd target takes 1d6+1, third takes 1d6+2 etc) Each target can only be hit once by the bolt per casting of the spell. Caster designates the first target but after that it bounces to random enemy targets.
152. Spell eater-Target hit by this spell loses the ability to cast 1 spell level per round for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 caster level of the person who cast Spell eater. Highest level is lost first, then second highest etc. All of these levels return 10 minutes after spell eater ends.
150. Vision of the foe-Caster projects an illusion on each hostile creature in range, making each look to everyone else like the caster. Failing a will save means enemies think that those that look like the caster are the caster and proceed to attack those creatures, even if they are allies.
149. Repulsion Wave-Blast of energy does 1/4CLd6 damage to target propelling them back 1 square/2 CL and dropping them to speed 0 for 10 rounds.
148. Armour Inversion Beam-Ray drains armour bonuses, shield bonuses, enhancement, force, etc bonuses, from targets AC and transfers them to the caster as mage armour like force. Max +20 can be drained in this manner. Armour bonus for caster lasts 1 min/CL: points return to target 10 minutes after caster loses armour bonus.

You know, I'll second you on that. The second season almost made me end it all, but fourth season only had one really bad epi (imo) and it looked like they really had their act together. I'll actually agree with that assessment (although DS9 is still my favourite Trek series)
I do also miss Babylon 5, Earth: Final Conflict and even the Dead Zone to some extent.
I'll probably think of more later but
Star Trek (DS9, TNG, VOY), Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science (a Canadian documentary series looking at actual criminal cases and the forensics used to solve them), Royal Canadian Air Farce, Paleoworld on TLC back when the L still stood for "Learning", and the West Wing.
LOL, yeah for cats - when in doubt, swipe at the nose. Believe me I've seen it happen - didn't get it on video and quite frankly was never as funny as what you're describing.

Xvarts. Someone refresh me there. I believe they're humanoid, right.
Blue, goblinoids.
Smurfs, possibly humanoids of some stripe, but there's a strong possibility of them being fey.
Blue Man Group. It remains a mystery. They are the wild cards.
Did they come about as offshoots of other creatures through contact with a common influence? Some sort of mutating factor? Divine intervention or arcane meddling?
Or are could it be a convergent evolution? Could this be the future we're seeing here? A world where things aren't so much black and white as they are cerulean and azure? Could something even be reaching back fromk the future to guide this along?
Do these beings have any relation to each other? How do they interact? Could there be societies comprised mostly of these beings who have only a scattered, small presence in most lands? Could such a society still survive, or are we looking at the remnants of a once thriving civilization?
And how do the Delvians fit into all this?
Xvarts are humanoid (no subtypes-see Dragon 339 Campaign Classics Bestiary)

About Clara Cheeseworthy
Clara grew up in Scrafton. Her mother, Dora, was a sometime seamstress, when she felt like working and she didn't have the shakes so bad she could hardly stitch. Clarence, her father, was the town teamster. He always had singular bad luck: harness straps wore through and broke, wagon wheels fell off, loads came up short, taxes and tolls were higher than expected, the roads were bad so cargo spoiled, and the like. Of course, most of his 'bad luck' could have been fixed with a little diligence and care, but he preferred to blame shadowy figures bent on harming him - the mafia.
When real mafiosi came to light, Judge Hooper quietly asked Clarence to be the anonymous hangman, offering generous pay to dispose of the criminals. Clarence readily agreed, but was too stupid to hide his sudden good fortune. Realizing that people were watching him with suspicion, he took a long-haul job and never returned. Some say he fled town, others that he had been found head-down in a flooded ditch.
All Clara knows is that her father's disappearance and mother's sudden death soon after were the best things to ever happen to her. She inherited both the ramshackle home and the small local cart and ancient draft horse her father had left behind. There turned out to be a great deal of work available and very little 'bad luck' to someone who was diligent, thrifty, and hard-working.
She's been on her own for over a decade now, happily hauling cargo and finally expanding to more wagons, horses, and a few hired drivers. She personally drives her brand-new pride and joy, a modern truck . Things are going well for her and look to continue to do so, as long as the town isn't destroyed.
