I'd almost forgotten how good Hanna's acting is. We were lucky enough to have met Adrienne Burgess at a British con and the first thing she said, looking up at us was, You're Americans! LOL Her environment has taught her to recognize people at first glance. |

"Blake is wrong" Vila is right.

Question: can't Orac do anything if he's switched off?

Question: can't Orac do anything if he's switched off? I think other episodes suggest he can! I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

We also got to meet Derek Smith, Largo at one of the Cygnus Alpha cons. I think he was bemused he was so much remembered from Blake's 7.

Question: can't Orac do anything if he's switched off? It can. In other episodes it does and even tells the crew that it is busy. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Its switch is a kind of doorbell, a sign for contact with the humans. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Question: can't Orac do anything if he's switched off? Yes, starting with Redemption. Orac is never switched off, the key is just the user interface. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Stephanie Turner who played the 1st Juliet Bravo came into the library a while back. She positively rolled her eyes at me when I said I loved her appearances as George Carter's wife in The Sweeney (1970s). Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

He acts on many machines simultaneously, widespread as a virus, the box is the just the main wave, and since it has a quantum part it is vulnerable to aliens. |

I met Jeremy Bulloch a few times and I reminded him of a series he did in the 70's, and he gave me a blank look until I told him the title and who he guest starred with. Then he twigged on to it. I do think actors are secretly glad people remember any of their roles. Resist the Host

Poor Vila, had one drink and it went to his head. Of course, the one drink was half a gallon of straight Soma.

Does Largo still not realize he is going to be killed? His enforcer wouldn’t dare use that tone, otherwise. |
