Start times: Downunder 8.30pm, UK 09.30am. Yes we're finally here - the best consecutive set of episodes ever, starting with the all-time most over-dramatic death in the whole thing. Of course, there's more to the episode than that, including Avon as Servalan's slave, mangan, sand (no, not that sand) and Natratof of Gourimpest, no less. Definitely a lot more fun than last week. Spoilers: Soolin does what we've all wanted to do since we first saw this episode, Dayna still doesn't shoot Servalan and as it turns out cancer isn't a disease or a zodiac sign, it's a spider (crab, spider, they're both arachnids - who's going to notice?). Yet another gloriously unbelievable plot, hammed up almost as far as it can go, with Servalan spending quite a lot of her ill-gotten gains to see Avon on his knees. Do join us for Assassin, "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I guess so, Tyce. How are you? And Obsidian - have you had any sleep lately?

They are both arthropods but not arachnids. How are you MsVirn? Tyce? Got a NEW new pooter and hating the stupid mouse and keyboard – invitations to carpal tunnel syndrome. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

It's sunny, but not much above freezing here: otherwise I'm fine, thanks.

Here's another thing that one of the crew just happens to know about – assassins in Space. Avon's obviously been on the WWW keeping up with his research.

Avon's sounding rather more bloodthirsty than usual. Has Servalan got under his skin, perchance?

I doubt the first thing one would ask for after walking through a desert all day would be food. I think he’d have simply asked for water. |

Morning all - sorry I'm late. Crabs are crustaceans, and crustaceans and arachnids are both in the phylum of arthropods, as far as I remember from my school biology. It would be interesting to speculate about how Avon knows so much about professional assassins. |

For some reason I've always found the word "nourishing" annoying. Maybe someone fed me mangon at some time. Sorry Mum.

Still hate soup/thin stews, My mother was a good cook and I love soups/stews. I don't think she described her food as "nourishing", tho' it was. It would have been that baby food in jars that was mangon. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
