How does 'we've been in space for eight months' work? When on the Liberator it only seems to have been a few days. They must have been on the London for a long time before they rebelled.


They'd been on the London four months before their 'plan' to escape... before they found the Liberator, so yes, where did the other four months fit in?

Have you checked behind the sofa? Last year's coat pockets?

The thing that always gets me is, where do they wash their undies? After all, they're wearing the same clothes they left home in.

No comment. Shudder.

Perhaps we are (mercifully) spared four months of them hand washing their underwear (as Obsidian says) and failing to get the Liberator controls to work - and, of course, arguing. We are brought back just at the moment that Zen accepts them.

You're right, Avon, It's a stupid risk. Most of Blake's ideas are.

Gan showing real leadership here. I like Gan with a personality - such a shame that we lost him. Jenna is also being pleasantly spiky.

Presumably Jenna did all the washing, then, this being the 70's (just). Whether she did Blake and Avon's too is open to question.

Gan can be effective when he's just belting people and talking commonsense. The limiter is a REAL limiter.

'It worked'. Avon's joy is palpable.

And Blake tells the others nothing about the mysterious hooded figures.

I would quite like a bit of the domestic details and arguing over the Liberator controls! Makes it more character rather than plot-driven.

It's those little disarming moments about our Avon that tell us he isn't as driven as dear Blake is. I wouldn't vote for Blake.

Flash Gordon what’s on TV here a couple weeks ago. Brain Blessed in bikini bottoms was a little bit more than I wanted to see.

Women's Lib was in full swing in the late 70s, so I hope she told them to wash their own blimmin' undies!

It was in self-defence, during a hand-to-hand fight. Not premeditated murder, which I think is what Jenna was implying?

Vote Og instead! Nobody ever voted for Blake. He just assumed they had.

Just seeing the two rooms on the London does tend to restrict things. There must have been showers and a kitchen – with staff. But I do accept that the budget didn't run to them. But other shows don't worry about details like that either if it comes to it.

Yes, she is, and the real implications of what she's asking are somewhat more than the simple words. Avon knows what it's like to kill, but he doesn't plan premeditated murder, even though it must be tempting.

I think he's also a bit wary still of revealing too much.

Maybe we can lobby Big Finish to have someone write in some of these little extras that mean so much?? Maybe 'Origins' will let us in on some of the 'background'. If only we had a mole in the inside there.

GORDON'S ALIVE!

Saw a special screening of Flash Gordon at Hatfield University, where BRIAN BLESSED was in the audience (in the row behind me & hubby!) and afterwards did a Q&A on stage. Well, it was one question and the rest was him holding forth at great length (and great volume!) about all manner of things! I got his autograph afterwards on our Flash Gordon DVD. Brilliant evening!

Blake is very plausible but he's also very slippery and disingenuous.

Hey Tyce, do you think Vargas should have won the Summernats mullet competition.
