I think it's a bit two-way - the rest of them are glad to let him - because they expect the Feds will beat him up sooner rather than later,, and rather him than them. Yes, he's taking the BOSS mantle. And everyone else is just like Vila taking a back seat when the heat is on, Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

It was lovely being able to join you all for this rewatch. Love to Tyce and Pilot. And Happy New Year to everybody! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

If so, that is not a promising beginning. That's right - it starts "There's a distant star, in a distant sky" - it's the sort of thing you'd get as a theme on a Gerry Anderson, but not as good as Fireball XL5 or Aqua Marina! Ridiculously, I still know the lyrics to both of those. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

If so, that is not a promising beginning. That's the one! Just popping in to provide the full lyric: Distant Star There's a distant star in a distant sky past the edge of time way past Gemini. Peace is there, only beauty meets the eye. Oh my love, that's where we must fly, and let the world go by, Just you and I. Come, hit the Stardust Trail, we'll throw our cap at Mars; we'll catch a comet's tail, and we'll sail to the stars! Though the years go by like a silver stream, if our love is true, we will find our dream. Travellin' on, suddenly that's where we are; That distant star, that distant star, that shining distant star! It's fair to say the above lyrics wouldn't have quite matched the content of virtually all the episodes from Series D Vote Og.
