This is the episode where Avon ditches his matching cagoul for the more individualistic silver one. A blow for freedom? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Oh - forgot - Travis is sad about Marryat (for about ten seconds). All this and Travis too! |

Avon is a God? So she believes him to be. Never found out what happened to the people of the planet prior to Avon re setting the controls in that bunker

OK: here's what's going on Servalan is out to get Orraccc Blake has forgotten Jenna The Furry people catch Jenna (possibly for lunch) Meegat is guarding a rocket Vila tells everyone what to do Well, actually Avon and Gan forgot Jenna. Blake claims he's in charge - it's his responsibility. He wasn’t on the planet, he can’t possibly watch Jenna 24 7. |

Never found out what happened to the people of the planet prior to Avon re setting the controls in that bunker Apparently they knew something bad was coming, so they organised the rocket and all the genestock etc. Then reverted to being Furry People. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

He should perhaps have noticed she was missing earlier - but yes, I think the main responsibility is with those who were on the planet with her. |

Oh, and Servalan enjoys being mean to Travis. She also chose Marryat on purpose.

He’s not Jenna’s mother, nor is he Avon’s or Gan’s mother. They are adults they should’ve been watching where each other was while they were on a strange planet. |

Civilisation collapsed, and the planet was hit with massive levels of radiation. A small group retreated underground with the gene stocks, the rest reverted to primitive. |

I was wondering the same thing.... maybe they're all Avon 'shippers like Meegat.

Meegat could just have said 'You're late, mate'.

There's room for a fanfic in there - how the prophesy came about etc etc.

For reasons I won’t bore you with - I tried to play a tape cassette the other day. I scrounged up several cassette players and found that only one player worked. The other two were completely defunct, and the sound quality of the cassette on the remaining player was atrocious. With that in mind, I seriously doubt that a rocket could be launched 1000 or so years after it had been built. |

Or are there people in cryogenic suspension with them, as with the aliens in Time Team? |

That ending seems rather abrupt, considering the ones we get later. But perhaps they're already thinking about Aristo and Phibians.

Right. The dog is bored, I'm cold and there's washing-up to be done. Time I moved on, folks. But I'll be back...if nothing else, to see if anyone 'solves' the WORD today. Honestly, I don't think it could be much easier... Enjoy your last bit of summer, Tyce. Hopefully the Northern Hemisphere will remember that spring (and summer) are supposed to be warm. Hope you have some good 'me' time, AnnA. How's the Will translating going? "You're not sulking, I hope?"
