But you will never be free of Blake, Avon - he's living rent-free in your head, and he will continue to do so, even when you don't even know if he is alive. Especially then. He might turn up again., It's a class speech, though. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Morning everyone. It's nothing personal - I'm just not good at time-keeping, never have been. We had torrential rain on Tuesday - not much since, but lots of threatening clouds. Hi AA. Hi Tyce! Hope you are not feeling too jetlagged. |

They're all sick of Blake, aren't they?

The timing is off in this episode again. Somme time must have passed since the last episode, on the Federation side, for all these things to go wrong - yet Blake and co must have headed straight for Star One. It's a long way! I suppose that's true - even on a ship as fast as the Liberator. |

I want whoever designed the mid-mod wall inside the entrance to the Star One base to come and do one for me in my mid-mod house.
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

They're all sick of Blake, aren't they? That's part of the reason this is my favourite ep.; everyone is on edge and they start thinking. A bit too late, but they do. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Morning everyone. It's nothing personal - I'm just not good at time-keeping, never have been. We had torrential rain on Tuesday - not much since, but lots of threatening clouds. Hi AA. Hi Tyce! Hope you are not feeling too jetlagged. Struggling a bit but at least less jet lagged than last time. |

Back to the timeline again - Servalan also had to get back to Earth (well, Space Command HQ which is in Earth orbit) after Goth, and she'd have to wait until someone gave her a lift because Travis had nicked her ship.

Why did the Andromedans not just destroy the bodies of the dead crew? |

I imagine, being who she is, she could get a ship quite quickly. How do we know that Space Command is in Earth orbit? |

I always imagined Space Command to be located somewhere strategic in relation to the rest of the Federation. A sort-of Anderson Airforce Base. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Incidentally, we haven't heard from Pilot53 in a while. Has anybody been in touch with him?

I have seen photos of Jan Chappell and Sally Knyvette - I thought it was on this site, but it must have been on Facebook. Only a few of them, though. Why haven't the rest of us seen them?? Where's the report for the website?? |

These Andromedans look very rag-tag and bobtail, don't they? Not exactly a military force, more the little boats of Dunkirk.

Such a pity about what's showing on Servalan's screen. They just didn't have the technology back then to make it look like something that made sense. But they tried.

It makes a lot of sense to have a totally unshielded Power Well of Doom in the middle of a control room. |

The BBC didn't have it, but it was out there for those in the – at that time very exclusive – computer industry. It was something my brother was part of and it was quite amazing what was available for them to play with. It took a long time for things to become commercially available.
