Hello everyone. In full on 'school's out' mode, I'm afraid - starting very slowly today. I always think this episode is all about Meegat thinking Avon is a god - I forget that Servalan is in it, and that it begins the action that is completed in ORAC. Yay another friendly face. Taking it slow for a bit always good. ‘Forget Servalan and Orac’ LOL but I know what you mean. I've got two weeks before the supply teaching starts again - I'm intending to recharge the batteries a bit. |

Deliverance felt I missed something even though seen it multiple times, can't pin point what. There's a lot going on in this episode. some of which gets a bit lost. There's at least three stories going on at the same time. Plus the usual infighting among the crew. Yes, it's more like Babylon 5 in that respect. But I agree, something is lost in all the business. |

I like that the teleport has a visual effect when it’s teleporting nobody. |

Oh - forgot - Travis is sad about Marryat (for about ten seconds).

Personally, I think Ensor Jnr is overacting.

This is the episode where Avon ditches his matching cagoul for the more individualistic silver one. |

Avon is a God? So she believes him to be. Never found out what happened to the people of the planet prior to Avon re setting the controls in that bunker

Never found out what happened to the people of the planet prior to Avon re setting the controls in that bunker Apparently they knew something bad was coming, so they organised the rocket and all the genestock etc. Then reverted to being Furry People.

He should perhaps have noticed she was missing earlier - but yes, I think the main responsibility is with those who were on the planet with her. |

Oh, and Servalan enjoys being mean to Travis. She also chose Marryat on purpose.

He’s not Jenna’s mother, nor is he Avon’s or Gan’s mother. They are adults they should’ve been watching where each other was while they were on a strange planet. |

Civilisation collapsed, and the planet was hit with massive levels of radiation. A small group retreated underground with the gene stocks, the rest reverted to primitive. |

I was wondering the same thing.... maybe they're all Avon 'shippers like Meegat.

Meegat could just have said 'You're late, mate'.

There's room for a fanfic in there - how the prophesy came about etc etc.

For reasons I won’t bore you with - I tried to play a tape cassette the other day. I scrounged up several cassette players and found that only one player worked. The other two were completely defunct, and the sound quality of the cassette on the remaining player was atrocious. With that in mind, I seriously doubt that a rocket could be launched 1000 or so years after it had been built. |
