There's something wrong with the clock on this website - it's an hour slow. Like Gan. That happened last week I plan to live forever,or die trying.

William Squire is terrific in this episode. I'm sure you know, TT, he's also the Shadow in Doctor Who's Armageddon Factor, alas, not the Armageddon Storm, where there's this nice helpful mercenary who saves the day- taking a leaf from Sue's book..... Ah yes, is that mercenary Ginger by any chance?  TT only starts his teasing knowing I'm so far away. NO, he's a gorgeous blond man. Will I never hear the end of the ginger joke? Don't answer- I know the answer already. Resist the Host

Takes two darts to bring down Gan - he's had his Shredded Wheat! the first dart hit his cigarello case. Is that a metaphor for something else? It's a Blackadder reference. We always try to work in at least one Blackadder, one Red Dwarf, and one Monty Python reference per episode. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Poor Vila! Why has it always to be him who gets the miserable teleportation co-ordinates? His teleport mishaps always remind me of Albert Fitzwilliam Digby. His slip in Sarcophagus actually likes a panel from Operation Saturn. Not heard a Dan Dare reference for a while. In fact, we are referencing quite a lot tonight... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

There's something wrong with the clock on this website - it's an hour slow. Like Gan. That happened last week I thought everything was slow. Then I realised I had lost internet connection. But I am back now! I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

The politics in this episode seem very actual to me. The manipulations and the pressures. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

This is arguably the one and only time that Blake liberates a planet. And he does it not with explosives or force, but with the power of his tongue.

The spaceship is heavily protected by a force field but the man is ignorant -- he knows nothing of its technical capacity. Vila is trying to save himself. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Cally: They are not dead. I have the strong feeling that there is much more to her telepathy than she told. I agree. Dayna once said that she “can read minds, sometimes”. Don’t be sorry. Be quiet.
