When Vila opened the launch doors, I'm sure I could see the constellation of Orion. Albian must be quite close to Earth.

Circuit plan - on acetate, with holes punched for a ring binder. Very Third Calendar. Or maybe they've gone retro again.

Didn't think much of Del Grant. Seeing he was Tarrents brother. Pity he got out gunned by that Cyborg....typical of Servalan's sneakiness behaviour guess that's how she became Supreme Commander & later Madam President.

Down & safe. Here now & hope u all r well on this cold winter's night. Hello Pilot, nice to see you! Cold here too - it would be nice to have some summer some time. How far north are you, Anne? It's warm and sunny here on Virn. And very, very green. Well of course it never rains on Virn, but I don't remember much sun either! I'm in York. It's been funny weather lately - always too hot or too cold. I'm sitting here shivering at the moment, trying not to look at my fan heater. |

Perhaps a history of rebellion makes them more able to identify the different troops? But only Blake and Cally have any history of rebellion. I can't imagine the Federation openly advertising who their different troops were. This would assume that all the characters were very well educated and politically astute, and then well-travelled to account for their experience. It just amuses me – the taken-for-granted aspects. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

How does Grant know what happened during Anna's interrogation? And don't tell me TT will explain later.

Why does Avon introduce Del to Jenna but not to Cally?

He's Anna Grant's brother. The existence of mercenaries adds an interesting layer of intrigue; particularly that he's working alone (bearing in mind that the program couldn't afford a cast of millions).

If the pole is 4000 miles away, does that make Albian about the same size as Earth? So not a massive planet? More likely a small, close sun? |

His information can only have been gained second- or third-hand, though, presumably the same way that Avon learned that she was dead. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I find the idea of Del Grant interesting - the man himself rather dull. But what would his background be? Is he a former Space Command officer, selling his expertise? |

Tyce is living it up on her ABBA jaunt in the UK, Mrs Bookmark often has family commitments on Saturdays. (Awaiting further surveillance reports). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I wouldn't dream of saying that he's dull on the other thread! Judging by people's avatars, he seems to be very popular. |

Blake is amazing - still impressive, even when you know what happens. I am planning a rewatch myself sometime. At the moment I am rather invested in the tennis. |

But yes, more planetary experience than deep space. We clearly move in very different circles. Grant is quite laid back. More the survivalist type without the Bear Grylls hype.
