Rewatch Downunder Saturday 12th August C7 Children of Auron
M1795537OCVirn
Start times: Australia 7.30pm, UK 10.30am.

In this episode, Avon's quest for revenge has to take a back seat and Servalan gets a taste of her own medicine, betrayed by her own officer. A nasty plague, exploding models, a twin sister for Cally and the possibility of telepathic mini-Servalans should be enough to have you glued to the screen.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

I was going to say - is it Saturday again already?? But considering there’s absolutely nobody here, perhaps it still only Friday?? LOL
 
M1795537OCVirn
No, dear Tyce, it's Saturday, and for once, you're not having to apologise for anything. How are you? And how's things in ABBA land?

Yay, Virn is here. How are you? I hope you are well.

I’m good, thanks. Things in ABBA land are awesome. Apart from catching up with heaps of ABBA fan friends since I’ve been back, I finally finished sorting out the two gazillion photos I had - and deleting the dodgy ones and labelling the rest. What a weight off my shoulders. :-)

What are the odds we'll have Obsidian with us today? Or will she be racing about still putting the finishing touches to the Collection? Time alone will tell.

Still haven't heard from Pilot53 in a LONG time. Hope things are OK with him.

Mmm… not sure about Obsidian, you might be right she might be frantic right now.

Fingers crossed Pilot53 will turn up and also Anne Arthur.

Good here also, thanks for asking. It's raining, so my DVD player is working really well for once. Looking forward to this episode, and although I think bits of it are OTT, Servalan comes out of it quite well.

The Federation takes over. We start when we want to.

They've had long enough: let's start.

Oh no, Federation rule, I’m scared. LOL shall we start at 10 minutes past?

A command cabin, eh? Must be a very small ship.

Never mind, I’ve started as well.

Hello, I'm here - exhausted after a VERY intense week teaching at Keele, but I'm here. Hope you are both well. I see that I am going to have to start watching House of the Dragon, as it now has Tarrant in it.
 
Tyce
At what time of the year are the Himalayas short?

Rats, I've run out of Prawn Cocktail Pringles.

Why has Avon all of a sudden decided he wants to kill Shrinker?
 
AnneArthur
I like Servalan's nails.

Damn. I’ve got salted cashews if that’s any help?

Yay. All those hours I spent trying to get the News formatted to the SC's liking and uploaded, then re-formatted and uploasded to the thread didn't go to waste, then.

I did a summer school at Keele once. Hope it was fun as well as hard work.

Perhaps it is the first real opportunity he has had? I suppose that earlier in the series they have been too busy looking for Blake - which does speak well of Avon's priorities, although perhaps the others overrode him.

Yay Anne Arthur, you made it.

Sorry to hear you’re exhausted, we will let you have a little nanna nap after B7.

I’m well, thanks.

Golly I’m now going to have to look up house of Dragon.

'Affection for him?' - oh poor Cally!

Think it's been on his mind a while, he just didn't bother telling anyone until he'd worked out how.

“Why do you imagine I’ve never gone back, affection for him??”

Well, actually……

It was great fun - but you are on the go from 9am to 9pm every day. I don't think I could have managed more than a week of it! Must be getting old . . .

What - the students didn't invite you to their parties (after 9pm)?

I think 'insane intergalactic war' is a bit harsh - the Andromedans invaded, after all. What did the Auronar want the humans to do, nothing?

Cally deserved to be exiled? Servalan's right about the Aurons having narrow little minds.

Oh my gosh that Zelda woman looks like somebody we know? Now, who is it??

OOOOH! Derrel's walking on thin ice!

Yeah good point.
 
AnneArthur
I don't really blame Deral and Gingka for being sceptical - this does seem a convoluted plan, even by Servalan's standards.
 
M1795537OCVirn
I'd like Cally (and/or Zelda) more and think she was believable as a freedom fighter if she didn't have such a soppy voice.

I don't think Aron comes out of this very well, as a society.

Think chess strategy. And it works.
