Does anyone know what each of the B7 emojis means? Yes, most of them. They are just the usual things which you can type in instead of going to the emoji menu. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Liking the frock, but not sure about that thing round her neck. Yes, I was peering at that. The frock seems to button up the side which is a bit interesting. Where else would you button it up? 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. Is this the job you were talking about before? 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. ![]() I used to get a lot of jobs through recommendation, but the person who recommended me very sadly dies a few years ago - that is part of the problem. This is a different job, at Aberystwyth - I wasn't shortlisted for the Durham one. At least the application process is easier for this one. I don't really know much about ADHD, so if you say that Avon's behaviour is typical, then I suppose it is. But to me it seems like scheming - he is interested in the Sopron, but I see his obsessiveness as performative, and aimed at Tarrant. He is delighted when it gets to the point where he can say 'I told you so', because that is what he was aiming at. |

I think Jacs liked this script, but I'm not so sure she liked the bloke who played Jarvik.

Quote - I would like to have known what went on between Volcano and now to bring crew relations to this state. I think Avon decided to stay well out of it, let Tarrant make a fool of himself so that there was an excuse to make snide comments about him. I don't see Avon as indifferent, I see him as angry. Tarrant has (temporarily) got the Liberator - Avon wants it back. I'm not saying he's indifferent, he's just waiting for the right chance. He's giving Tarrant enough rope to just about hang himself. Avon's comment about Tarrant being the "most astute etc., etc., or so you tell us often enough", is the guide to what's going on. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

If there is a flaw in this, it is that he clearly thinks that the Liberator is more-or-less indestructible, and his removing Cally from the flight deck in the middle of a battle will do no harm. This confidence will be his (and the Liberator's) undoing in Terminal. |

It might be the Liberator on which he's betting, but I rather think he's relying on the Sopron because he has his suspicions/hypothesis about it (the reason why he went to get it in the first place) and only needs to test it out. It is rather cruel of him to let things get as far as they do in order to do so. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Good idea sending Jarvik to get the Teleport bracelets from the others, considering bye series 3, so many of them had disappeared. LOL |

Half of Aber is at the top of a cliff, half of it is seaside. Is Welsh related to Old French, by any chance? I hope so. for your sake.

I like Servalan's cunning psychological attack on Jarvik. He really should have told her that her 'champion' plan was stupid and laughed in her face. |

Yep, Avon's just sick of hearing Tarrant. And VIla, and he thinks Dayna's too young/reckless to bother with. He still has time for Cally, because he needs an audience.

The lander always seems ridiculous to me. Surely by the time we got this far from Earth, we would have developed more sophisticated ships? |

Avon tells Tarrant that he’s got about two minutes to get the ship launched. Does that mean he has absolutely no faith in Dayna fighting off Jarvik? I’m Dayna’s second episode she was fighting off two guys at once. |

I was thinking that - either that or really poor and desperate would-be colonists re-using and cannibalising old ships well beyond their sell-by date. |

I'm surprised they could all fit in the lander - there's not much room - it's designed for two.
