In which an overplayed hero fights an underarmed heroine watched by an unbelievable 'spider'. Servalan wears a rather fetching frock, while Avon spends his time talking to a rock, and a lunar lander somehow grows itself some take-off engines. Lots of plot holes to pick at today. Enjoy. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's supposed to start at 7.30pm downunder (10.30am UK) but who knows when the rest of them will turn up?

I hate to say 'I told you so', but it's two minutes to the start, and nobody else is here. Yet.

Have to say I rather like this one despite the silly spider thing. Sopron is a great concept and should have been taken further, and I do love Jarvik. "Woman!"

AHA! Hi, Obsidian. How's you? I'm fine MsVirn. Feeling a tad jittery as things don't arrive what should, but ok for all that. Final week, to countdown – probably. How are you? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I THINK I might be able to still make things this week, but they'll have to get sent by courier to get them to both Paris and New York by mid-August. I'll be cutting it fine as I want to take things to Sydney to have my brother photograph them on my niece for model shots. If only I could go too, but my brother will be in France visiting the house he owns there, so he can stand in for me. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hello. Started. Interesting that Servalan thinks that Tarrant is in charge - bias in favour of Space Command? |

Hello. Started. Interesting that Servalan thinks that Tarrant is in charge - bias in favour of Space Command? There are suggestions that the original plan was that Tarrant stayed loyal to the Federation, then once the crew trusted him, he would betray them at some stage. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Invisible zip? Hi AnneA. All well with you? OK. Busy applying for a job, and preparing for my summer school next week. I'll have to miss next week's rewatch. City at the End of the World is one of my half-dozen or so favourite episodes, so I'm sorry about that. I would far rather miss this one - I find Jarvik tedious and the spider laughable. Passive-aggressive Avon is interesting, though - I would like to have known what went on between Volcano and now to bring crew relations to this state. |

There are suggestions that the original plan was that Tarrant stayed loyal to the Federation, then once the crew trusted him, he would betray them at some stage. Servalan behaves as if she knows him, which suggests they did encounter each other at Space Command. I have read a couple of fics which follow the idea of Tarrant being a plant. Evidently not by Tarrant lovers. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

You would need a different Tarrant for that, I think. |

Apart from Dayna, the crew are all in shades of 70s brown this week. |

Job applications are something I'm very glad I don't have to do anymore, although several of the jobs I had were all based on recommendation for same (thank goodness!). Good luck with it. I don't envy you. As for the ep, Avon is far more ADHD hyper-focussed than passive aggressive. I recognise the behaviour only too well.

Tarrant has (temporarily) got the Liberator - Avon wants it back. |

It's the older and wiser versus the young and brash. But it does make you wonder what happened previously to bring Tarrant to the fore now. Or maybe he's just being given enough rope with which to prove himself.
