This is one of those 'marmite' episodes, isn't it? Either you think all the fantasy stuff is brilliant/a nice change etc or it's a stomach-churning waste of time. Cally as ruler of the universe does seem a little far-fetched, even for me. I'm sure Servalan would have something to say about it, but since she's not in this story what are the rest of Liberator's crew going to do? Marmite? Or Vegemite? Why not join us and decide for yourself? Start time (approx) 7.30pm (Downunder), 10.30am (UK). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to join you tonight, but if I do I’ll be doing a virtual rewatch. Because I’m in Sydney….. Like the rest of us I know every second of every episode anyway, so I don’t need to be in front of my DVD. LOL |

Hi, Obsidian! yes, sorry if Tyce can't make it. How's you? Everything OK with the Collection? I'm a bit breathless here - just about finished a little job for Diane in time for the rewatch! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

As for Marmite or Vegemite, this is a strange episode but I quite like it once we get past the floaty bits at the beginning. But they all make sense once you're in it and the symbolism becomes apparent. The lovey only wants to get home to her people anyway, not go for universal domination, unlike Servalan. And my brother, who is about to head off to France, says that the lady who manages his house there as an AirBNB, loves Vegemite, as does the rest of the family. I like frogs' legs meself...

I know what it's like on the breathless. Can see loads of new things up front on the Home Page. Is that what you were doing? I'm still uploading stuff to the Flying Solo website – editing photos, going from app to app to make them website ready etc., then writing all the bumpf. It will take days still and the store opens next Friday. Eek! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

An interesting choice of edibles. Started, btw. I wonder what our heroes favourite food is? Might make an interesting thread...

Apart from ice cream? Dunno. Must think on that. Blake would like a little green salad, perhaps.

Hello everyone. Sorry I'm late - I'm planning a very lazy weekend this weekend, after the business of the last couple of weeks, and started a little too early! I like this episode, although some of the symbolism, like Dayna as a musician, seems a little forced. |

I was not helped by kitten insisting on typing. Glad to hear things are progressing with your enterprises! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I wonder if all these people they are invoking at the beginning are also real people, and dead - slaves killed to be with their mistress in the afterlife? |

Hello Anne. Avon's version of being helpful and understanding is a little on the cold side, but heartfelt. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

No, 'cos they leave and the capsule takes off. I didn't mean the people in the procession, but the people they summon up, who will later be embodied by Dayna, Vila and Tarrant. |

Hello Anne. Avon's version of being helpful and understanding is a little on the cold side, but heartfelt. I find it rather touching, in an awkward kind of way. And I like his rare ability to laugh at himself. Edited by AnneArthur on 26-08-2023 09:48 |

More the concept of them, like the Egyptian shawabti. If slaves were killed off they'd be in there with her, and they're not. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Tarrant as backup! Good idea. The last place you want him is where the action is. Reminds me of when one of my cadets was explaining that his best friend at school was absent due to illness, but it was OK because he played with his 'backup friend'.
