Avon keeping his options open - what 'things' is he going to need? His proddy tool?

I'll be off great being here with you all. I'll grab a cool shower then a cool drink. See you all next week
Take care all.

Your threats don't bother me in the slightest....what - my HANDS?? Blake's sheer nastiness stands out compared to Cally's compassion.

Kayn hasn't actually examined Gan when he calls him a psychopath. I think he's just going on what the Federation have said about the sort of people they give limiters to - and they might well have just been rounding up the usual suspects. He attacked and killed a Federation guard unarmed, ergo he must be a psychopath.

Avon's saving grace is that he is consistently a better man than he would like to think he is.

Seems a fair assessment on Kayn's part. After all, presumably a neurosurgeon had to insert the limiter in the first place. I'm not for assuming all these people were unjustly accused of their crimes, even if it is part of Federation practice to get rid of annoyances.

It's the being consistent that counts. You never know where you are with Blake, except that his Cause matters more than anything else, including himself. He's a dangerous person to be around. Whereas if Avon was going to kill you, he'd say so.

I'm just looking for a loophole, really - I don't like the 'Gan as psychopath' story, probably just because I rather like Gan and would like him to be the gentle giant he presents as - and I'm playing around with alternative possibilities.

Of course. He's just pretending to be bad to the bone.

Pilot's already left the building. Now he'll never know how the station was destroyed.

I think he's the sneaky manipulative person lying on that bed doing a good con job on Cally.

I don't think he's pretending. I think he would really like to think of himself as cold, ruthless and entirely self-interested - but he isn't.

I think of him more like a 'berserker' - push him hard enough and he goes into an inbuilt 'killing mode' without having to think.

Anyway, when do the clocks go forward/back? Are we on for the same time next week?

No idea. The USA change this weekend. I'm expecting the Aussies to follow next week ( or perhaps the one after) with us usually the last weekend of March. Or something like that.

Intermittent Explosive Disorder sounds painful. Wouldn't one's first episode be terminal?

I looked it up. UK Summer Time starts 31st March (isn't that Easter as well?), I think the Aussies wait until 7th April. Please can someone confirm that before we all get too confused?

Generally for those around one who might get mown down in the process.

Times: we change on 7 April.

Which would be to the Federation's advantage, if they chose to create it artificially.

Sorry, still don't see it. Just a bit too convoluted. They've got the Crimmos, after all, and they are just plain whacko, however you wish to define it.
