Starting at 8.30pm Downunder and 09.30am in the UK. But don't get too attached to those times, they will be changing soon! A8 Duel Series 1 seems to have been going on for ages and we're only at episode 9. But here we have the whole idea of Rebels vs Federation in a nutshell. Each side has its champion, and surely it is better and safer for everyone else if they fight it out with each other? It might have worked: this could have been the final episode. But of course, Blake has to claim the moral high ground and spoil it all. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I’m looking forward to this episode. |

Well well, we have a (misguided) Blake supporter. Blake is a terrorist and murderer, no good-er than anyone else. Even if his 'cause' was right or good, the end does not justify his means. That said, he's also a bit of a charmer, so I'm not surprised people are taken in. The fact that he's been on our WANTED list for a very long time should have warned you about him. That said, Hi, Tyce! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Unfortunately, it might be a mutoid who gets it in the end. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Poor old Obsidian! Sorry to hear your head is giving you problems. Let it watch B7 for a while: that should help.

Isn't it amazing how they keep coming across 'Earth-type' planets? With the same sort of gravity and breathable atmospheres.

I can just see dropping in on the odd planet on the off-chance it won't swallow you up.

Hello everyone - late as usual. I'm sorry to hear about your problems, Obsidian - hope this episode helps, although there isn't a lot for Avon to do here. And Ms Virn, would you really want the series to end after we have seen Servalan only once? |

And Ms Virn, would you really want the series to end after we have seen Servalan only once? Wouldn't mind seeing the series (as it is) end if it meant the end of the rebellion. We could carry on with a new series demonstrating how She and Her Federation assist various planets and populations to a more civilised and orderly level of peaceful society.

Why is the blood serum green? Vulcan blood serum, perhaps? |

Why is the blood serum green? Vulcan blood serum, perhaps? Absolutely no idea. I've always wondered but expect it's only because green seems revolting. Why blood serum for a human would be green could only be because it's dyed to denote something intended only for mutoids. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I see from today's long list of people (SEVEN!!) to whom I now need to send Welcome or Welcome Back letters, that at least one of them is Australian.

I once worked with a lady (cynic?) who claimed she was a mushroom because she was kept in the dark and people shovelled s*** on her. I like this bit where people are talking across each other. Doesn't happen often on TV because the writers think their scripts need to be heard. Sometimes a bit of reality going on in the background makes everything better. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I wish they had given that woman a less revealing costume. It was the 70s. We weren't as bothered then. Today, all the young things have their fake things popping out. I know what I think is obscene. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Doesn't happen often on TV because the writers think their scripts need to be heard. Sometimes a bit of reality going on in the background makes everything better. That's why I said it: mushrooms. I like this whole bit and agree about the scripts. Often they can seem very stilted when each person says their bit without there being any interjections, which would be normal. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I once worked with a lady (cynic?) who claimed she was a mushroom because she was kept in the dark and people shovelled s*** on her. Another of her favourite phrases when asked to do anything was (in a bored voice) 'Is this strictly necessary?' Such a joy to work with! "You're not sulking, I hope?"
