Rewatch Downunder - D3 Traitor, Saturday 15th October

Tarrant has about as much subtlety as a Tarsian warg-strangler.

They do if the syringe is labelled 'Pylene 50'.

"Stock Equalisation Act" is a good one. Sounds like something tabled in opposition to The White Australia Policy. It kind of assumes that we haven't all melting-potted to a big mush by this stage.

Tarrant is brave, young, handsome - there are three good reasons for anyone not to like him.

PS. MsVirn, I keep waiting for "Wazis" in THE WORD.

What! You’re not wearing a black eyepatch tonight! What sort of B7 fan are you…. LOL

It's the basis of my theory that after it was repealed the Empire ethnically cleansed the non-white populations (to Komm and Heriol, for example). The Federation is not openly racist and a few came back - but not many.

Travisina's still feeling the effects of her 'flu jab earlier this week, as well as her usual busy-ness.


Sorry to hear that Travisna. Do people have bad effects from flu jabs? Never heard of that before. Something to look forward to, I guess. Take care of yourself.


Nice to see you back Obsidian! I think the flu jab is quite a severe one this year - I've heard of several people getting side effecte. Although a lot of them seem to be people who have had flu jabs and covid jabs at the same time - that seems to be a big mistake.

Down here they’ve started giving the flu and Covid in one jab. I’m guessing you can probably get them separately and a couple of weeks apart if you ask but for the most part they are now one jab.

This is the only episode where we see someone smoking - an eccentricity at this period, I think.

I like this episode - it's much the best one in the first half of series 4, I think. A lot of nice details.


Hi Anne
Glad to hear that the trials and tribulations are sorting themselves. I like this episode too, for all those details. Too many people get bogged down with Avon's tunic (which, ages ago, we determined must have been bought at Space KMart) and Sleer's make-up. Furthermore, I love the uniforms, the pointy sideburns AND Servie's new look.

Well I'll have to get a separate flu jab - I won't be able to have a covid jab for some time now.

I hadn't really noticed his tunic, tbh. I think he's worn worse outfits - the one in Terminal, for example.

One wonders how many scores Servalan settled in the 'confusion' of the war. More than 26, I imagine.

I had them both at once and only the Covid jab felt horrible afterwards. It was definitely that because I had a repeat of previous side-effects.

The answer to the first part of the Avon's tunic thing is that Tarrant and Dayna take them from the trussed-up Helots. The Helot got his from Space KMart.

On the contrary, I think that, once she had established herself, she only had to kill a few. I think the Federation being a totalitarian regime, people have got very used to not seeing anything to which their attention is not specifically drawn. So, if a 'Commissioner Sleer' shows up saying that she is definitely not Servalan, then . . . she is definitely not Servalan. A lot of people must know - or suspect - that she is, really, but they won't say anything.

A lot of people seem to find her new identity unrealistic - but I find it a very chilling example of how the Federation works.

Nice reasoning, and I agree, but I was thinking more about the 'establishing herself' part.

That't the danger period - and that's when she had to be really ruthless. But Pylene is a stroke of luck for her - she's too useful for many questions to be asked.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with the same tunic turning up multiple times. Some people get bogged down by it and fail to pay attention to the details in the script.

They look like cake decorations.

Why different colours, though? Adults, children? Or does Forbus have an artistic streak?
