Rewatch Downunder Saturday 13th May B7 Killer

Killer, in which Cally gets one of her 'feelings', Avon drops in, bigtime, on an old friend and Blake finally manages to do something useful - he saves Servalan's life. Join us for the usual wide-ranging discussion, much of it nothing to do with the episode, but fun all the same. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

All I know is that it's one of those things that hurts so much it's actually enjoyable. You well MsVirn? I really like this ep, Paul Daneman is so good. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Travisina sends her apologies and her love to you all. i have to admit Killer isn't one of my favourite episodes. largely because there's no Servalan. But she's in most of the rest of this series so I suppose I shouldn't complain. Also because there's not much that's cheerful in it, what with plagues, thievery, double-crossing and just being plain mean to each other. And some weird costumery. So your challenge for today is to tell me what's good about the episode, and I might reconsider. How are you all, BTW? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's cloudy here in York, and cold enough for the heating to have come on again, after about a week off.

I know that of course, the Liberator medical facilities can deal with it, but I would like to have that acknowledged. Vila, at least, should be very afraid - and should say so. It's petty and ridiculous, but it ruins the episode for me. On the plus side, after a couple of bad episodes for him, this shows Blake's humanitarian instincts at their best.

It's not the only episode with logical inconsistencies but I find it quite sharp. The virus also isn't spread by air; it's clearly spread by contact because our heroes don't contract it and, all those who do, apart from Bellfriar (that we see), have been in contact with the infected. Tynus is an excellent character as well as Bellfriar who is super cool. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I used to have an Austrian friend who bought a card on British Mother's Day, then kept it for the Austrian one in May.

These look very difficult to do any sort of work in.
