" In under three months, half the planet was buried in a covering of slimy white fungus. The stench was vile and it was still spreading." Perhaps we can get some neutrotope for the algal bloom problem off South Australia. |

Destiny must be a very poor planet, if they send such an obsolete ship on such a vital mission. |

Is this an actual library? Surely physical books would be so much dead weight to transport- any books worth having must have been uploaded by then. Ah, but we've been here before. A lot of technology has been lost or censored.And Destiny seems like an antiquated sort of place. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Chess anyone? Not now. We're watching Blake try to solve a murder. Murders. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Yes, awkwardly placing that large bag under the mattress to leave a huge lump didn’t look suspicious at all. |

Is this an actual library? Poetry by ... Coleridge, catalogues from ... the Tate. |

Looking happy – NOT. Latest t-shirt. From the cover of Leigh Arnold's Lone Star. 1986.

Chess anyone? Only if aces are wild and you give me a three-innings head start. |

It's such a 'building'-like spaceship interior. |

Nothing's tied down in the storeroom. If the gravity system fails, or they get hit by something, it's all going to go everywhere and get wrecked. I was thinking hard about this when the dead body (Stuart) fell off the top of the cupboard. |

Dragging the body on top of the lockers was a bit of an effort also. Who's the weight-lifter on board?

In that outfit, Avon is a living computer. The embellishment on his outfit on his chest means you could literally “press his buttons”. |

I had to 'do' the Lake poets at college. I think everyone has to if they live around here. Finding out that Coleridge was as bored of WW as I was definitely helped. This was one of my favourites. On Wordsworth, he wrote: He lived among the untrodden ways To Rydal Lake that lead, A bard whom there were none to praise And very few to read. the original was: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...odden-ways "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Interestingly, he is now my most local poet - he was born three streets from here. It will be his birthday next Saturday, I think. Edited by AnneArthur on 14-02-2026 10:16 |

WW had some appeal, but I think you move on after read once. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high over the jungle when all at once I spied a crowd a host of golden daffidungles. |

They needed to have something explaining it - "Whoever did it must have used the cargo lifter" or some such. And we see no such 'clue', like "Why hasn't this been put away properly?", or "Why is this standing in the hallway?" Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I’m gonna have to say it, if there’s a computer problem, I don’t care who turns him off but I get to turn him on OK. |

Very seventies, in that Sondheim thinks that perving on Cally is a good excuse for following her. In his place I would have said that I didn't trust her, and wanted to make sure that she was really in the storage hold for the reason she gave. |
