In which Avon proves he's not exactly the galaxy's best diplomat, Tarrant falls in love yet again, and we all want to know where Servalan had been hiding those explosives.

Avon isn't bad as a diplomat (speaking from vast experience). Loads and loads better than Max. Where Servie hides things is a subject unfit for a child-friendly site such as this. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

HI, yes, OK here. We finally have a bit of snow - less than an inch - and it's due to be rained off later today. Right, better get started... if this episode ever does. Not one of the greats, IMO.

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late. No snow here yet, although a thick frost which barely lifts during the day. |

Ah, a nice bit of late 60s–early 70s' architecture. The Monaro Mall in Canberra had those tiles. Avon's diplomacy is actually very diplomatic. It's the way diplomacy has become these days that is not: it involves bribery and blackmail. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I can't do Xmas Day but might be able to do a night beforehand or after. My problem is mother arrives on Tuesday. It’s a bit hard doing anything with her here. Although she does go to bed at 9pm. So I could probably watch the last 25 minutes with you. |

I think this initial sequence is one of the most chilling parts of the whole series. |

It is rather odd that Dorian never got around to giving either Scorpio or the base any weapons. |

Shouting at people is NOT diplomacy. You'd think, but there's shouting and shouting, and the real thing is way better than the shmoozy, BS, forked-tongue that I came to recognise quite well. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Tarrant voicing a very medieval idea there - that the role of the women of the royal family is to intercede with the king. |

Coldest summer ever on record. :-( I remember snow in December in Civic back in 1977. When I went out in the morning it was Summer and when I walked home to Braddon at about 5pm it was Winter. Better even than Melbourne. Edited by Obsidian on 17-12-2022 09:48 Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

My grandmother fell on escalator when they were first introduced in Tassie. She hurt herself quite badly, and wouldn’t have anything to do with them after that. |

Sorry again - had to go and chat to the postman (he did bring me a couple of parcels, so it was probably worth it). Beta whatsit affirms - and where did those trumpeteers come from? "You're not sulking, I hope?"
