Amazing some of the things you catch on a second read.

Working through Another Christmas Rose (2nd Symphony, 3rd Movement) and I caught this:

... and R-Type's Mutt-and-Jeff Red Legion bodyguards, burly Charlie Kawalsky and wiry Louis Feretti.

Despite being an SG-1 fan, I missed this the first time I read this story.

And now that I've finally seen Cowboy Beebop, I can visualize this bit much better. 8)

The other was a scarlet aerospace fighter, stiletto-pointed
and sleek, with a pair of straight, T-shaped wings and a large
underslung cannon, its entire body aft of the cockpit bubble taken up

reverse-tricycle landing gear, cockpit canopy standing open, boarding
ladder deployed, waiting.
Utena turned to look at Corwin and his father, who had closed
the doors behind them and stood with their arms folded, grinning.
"You... you're GIVING me the SWORDFISH?!" she burst out.

After I finally work my way through the Symphonies, I think I'm gonna have to go back and reread some of the other EPU stories to see what I missed the first time round.
