My subtitles are hallucinating words to the background music - 'oh my' and 'heat'. mine say 'heat' a lot, too! Whatever I'm watching. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Don't blast the door - it's a force field! It'll just reflect it back at you. |

And here we are in the 'distopian' bit. Much easier to find locations that look 'broke' rather than space-y. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Is 5 a telepath of some kind? Beginning to look that way. Wonder how long before she gets 'taken over' by something? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It doesn't seem like the sort of show where folk get taken over in this way. I could be wrong. I bet the android gets interfered with though. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Well, well. That's some 'twist' OSP. So they are convicted criminals, on a fancy space ship, and there's six plus an android. How interesting,

That seemed a bit cliched in places, but I would be interested to see where it goes. I feel that it could head in a number of directions from here. |

Number 1 seems to be the Blake, but his antagonist, number 3, seems to be Jayne Cobb rather than Kerr Avon - sadly. |

How interesting, But I'm still not sure how they worked out that they were the death squad. Could they not just as easily be criminal gunrunners, sending weapons to the miners? |

I think there may have been more context in the end conversation than we realised. I will take another look. But there are these big leaps in tv logic... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

How interesting, But I'm still not sure how they worked out that they were the death squad. Could they not just as easily be criminal gunrunners, sending weapons to the miners? Why would miners need weapons? As they said, to fight for their claim against the death squad (we are jumping straight to Gauda Prime here - but this time next week they'll all be dead!). They learnt that the death squad were coming to evict them, so they arranged to buy weapons from Hrothgar's people. |
