The fruit is fairly cross-cultural too. The climate on Goth must be better than it looks if they can grow grapes. They grow them under tents. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Is Tara supposed to be Rod and Gola’s sister, mother or aunt? Their sister. Their very canny sister. Well that’s what I thought, but then why didn’t she go down to the cells and get her ‘father’ out?? Because she knows he is dying? |

Bother, it's finished. I'll have to do some WORK now. Thank you all for a lovely morning, even if this isn't one of my favourite eps - too much shouting. But worth watching because Servalan was in it. Take care: see you next week. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

She might otherwise end up with one of those spiky caltrap things in her head. Also, it was, until now, a patriarchy and we know what they're like. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

That was fun. Thanks for watching everyone. On to next week, when we find out what Travis is really going to do with the location of Star One. |

But worth watching because Servalan was in it. Take care: see you next week.  There IS a lot of shouting. I always wonder what it's like for an actor having to put up with someone yelling in your face.Have a good week MsVirn, with hopefully not too much work. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think she wants rid of all the outsiders, so that she can take power herself. If Blake and the others free the old sharl and the fool, they will come back up, but, even if she doesn't know that he's dying, she knows that he will be pretty weak by now, and, as Obsidian says, not able to protect her. She needs to be in the tent, in the heart of things, to establish control - if she goes downstairs, some ambitious second cousin could seize his chance. |

Tyce, good to have you back. You must tell all some time soon. Others in the UK said that the ABBA show was fantastic. Mxx

And why isn't Servie with him given that she's was on Goth? I must admit that I am finding it hard to know who knows what at this point! I had always thought that Travis was plotting with the Andromedans for a long time, but, if he doesn't know where Star One is, how does he know that they have infiltrated it? |

There is also the thing that Tara refers to the old sharl as 'their' father - referring to Gola and Rod. It is possible that she is their half-sister, and he is not her father. Power might be passed down through the female line, but be (implicitly) patriarchal, so that Tara, the eldest sibling, has been passed over - and has always resented it. Or of course I could be reading far too much into this! Actually, that doesn't really work, does it - if power is passed through the mother, then it would be Tara's children who inherit. Sorry - didn't think that through properly. |

Hi all, Apologies (again) for missing the rewatch (again) - fingers crossed I'll be able to join you for next week's trip to Star One. Tyce, it was so great meeting you in real life! Sorry you're missing Forever Avon, though. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Nice to hear Tyce & Travisina met up in real life, glad u two got together. Not sure if this thread is current I'll have to check back later. Australia

Liked the part when both Blake & Cally were caught & taken to the leader. He thort Blake was Travis..... Would've got away if Travis didn't intervene.

For once I felt sorry for Servalan & I took her side. Think Travis went against her at this point.
