Rewatch Downunder: A6 Seek-Locate-Destroy - Saturday 4th Feb 2023
Travisina
9.30am (UK) / 8.30pm (Australia)

In which we meet the military branch of the Federation, having previously only seen the tabard-clad bureaucrats and legal teams.

And this - for me - is where B7 really takes off. Fantastic ensemble episode, in which all Blake's crew get to play a role, and we're introduced to two of the best baddies in all TV history. It's my go-to episode for showing people who've never seen B7 before.

I will try to join you, but may be a bit busy - flying to Israel on Saturday night...

OK, I'm here and I'm ready, but my DVD won't play. Excuse me while I try some other options.
How is everyone, by the way?

Hi MsVirn. Hate that when that happens. Are you well otherwise?

We can. I'll just keep trying to memorise Vila's box of tricks for easier identification in the retro section of ebay.

Hi, Tyce, Obsidian and anyone else who's signed on since I last posted. It's worrying to us Feds when rebels claim they're busy. What are you up to, Tyce? And yes, how is that knee??

It's so easy not to see things if you never look. Those troopers need some retraining, if you ask me.

Hello everyone. How's the knee, Tyce?
Sorry I'm a bit late. These early episodes confuse me. My DVD doesn't give titles, just numbers, and I started what I thought was the right one, only to find that I had put on The Web again. Mamaged to get to Centero, and the Hugbot, this time. It's actually not unimpressive when we first see it.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Blake says jump so they jump. Sad, really. No minds of their own - except possibly Avon.

Hi Anne. Glad you got to Centero because they're going to need help. Not against the Hugbot tho'.

Knee is good, thank goodness. Been taking lots of anti-inflammatories and have had it strapped up.

I’m recording about 20 radio shows. Partly just to get ahead, and partly because if I’m coming to the UK again, I need to have shows that can be played while I’m away.

Also I tried to mow my (rather large$ lawn and my lawnmower broke down. So I’ve been running around all the lawnmowing shops, trying to find a good quality one to buy to replace it.

"Same basic instrument". Basic being the operative word.

It gives a surprising impression of efficiency to join the crew mid-operation, rather than seeing all the bickering beforehand.

Well done Jenna!? All she did was press the button on the damn teleport.

So annoying when major items like that go.

Good to hear that the knee is ok. Is the swelling going down at all?

Ha ha - I've got my DVD going - now I can watch it twice, although with about 15 minutes time distort.
Hi, Anne. Sorted your lessons out yet?

Glad to hear about the knee. Hope you find a good lawnmower soon.

I've been getting a new laptop this week, so if all goes well I will be watching on it next week. I've been finding it surprisingly hard, as all my previous laptops have been bought for me for one project or another - but hopefully it will be foolproof enough.

Yep, swelling is almost gone. :-)

Yeah there are so many things to consider it can be very confusing.
