46m: Cally pulls back the curtain to reveal O̶m̶e̶g̶a̶, oh, sorry, Thaarn.

I've heard it said that spaceships are easier to make in some ways than submarines because spaceships only need to deal with 1 atmosphere difference in pressure (from air to space) whereas a sub has to handle 100s of atmospheres of pressure (I don't know the terminology).

It always feels like a ship that always wants/needs to be moving to me

16m: The gang wonder where they are.

Avon: An unlikely possibility is that we have fallen through the black hole into the so-called negative universe of antimatter, where time and energy no longer exist.

It's a bit of a Wizard of Oz "Please ignore the man behind the curtain" moment.

I hope Sam Dastor was well paid for playing this daft role.

31m:
Caliph: In the presence of this you can neither lie nor resist. Where is someone called Orac?
Dayna: There is no person of that name aboard this ship, and never has been.

Even brainwashed Dayna does a massive FU and misleads about Orac's existence. LOVE IT

It must be humbling to get hired for a role like this and then they don't even apply any make up and when you ask for a costume they say "your day wear clothes are fine as is ... and ACTION"

This "underworld" is almost good but doesn't quite hang together. Sort of sinister slave / mining / scrapping world but not quite drawn cleanly.

Well, thanks everyone for an interesting rewatch.

Thanks for staying back and keeping me company, dodgyville. I hope you have a good week. Stay awesome!
