Great stuff, everyone. And now I'm off to play with the emojis, to see what happens when I give them brackets. Or maybe other things.... Have a great week, and stay safe. 🤔 Curiouser and curiouser... Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I am torn between feeling that it is a bit arrogant of Tanith Lee to reference her other episode, and liking the fact that someone is mentioning Cally. I like it because so rarely is there any mention of previous events. The problem with having different writers who are only interested in their offering. It makes sense for her to hark back to something that would disturb Vila. And I like how affected Vila is, more so than the others. He really liked Cally. And , as most fen would have it, he felt guilty for not going back to get her when she called and the lid closed on the shaft. For sure. He even says that he'd 'rescued the wrong one'. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Certainly, given Tarrant's treatment of him most times. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

He actually feels guilt. The others don't - they all have psychopathic traits! Maybe it's how people in general have adapted to living in the Third Calendar. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Again, Servalan can smash that silly little cube of water without cutting her fingers. Quite a woman! |

Nice to 'see' people today, even if I didn't watch the ep. Have, I think, dealt with the spider situation, but now need to change my sweatshirt, which smells of vinegar. Have a good week! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Hope the spiders have gone, Travisina. That was a great episode - but next week's is pretty good too. Hope to see you all then. |

Indeed, except for the purposes of law, there is no clear definition of psychopathy. They just internalise. Vila wears his emotions on his sleeve. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

You didn't need to see it Travisina; you could probably recite it all with your eyes closed. So glad you could join us though. Have a good, less busy week. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Don - the worst, least B7-y name in any episode of B7. Is Don, is bad. |

Have, I think, dealt with the spider situation, but now need to change my sweatshirt, which smells of vinegar. It should be okay, just so long as it doesn't smell of kairopan. Kairopan! Of course! Now we're getting to the nub of the mysterious red gem. It's not feldon. It's kairopan! |

Addendum: with reference to the 'girl next door' bit, here's the girl herself explaining it. (Knew I'd heard her talk about it somewhere!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv1Rg...v1Rgp-vo6g "You're not sulking, I hope?"
