Seeing nothing planned this weekend might have a B7 marathon even tho seen the series multiple times still get a buzz when I watch them in particular ORAC & BLAKE (final ep). Blake is amazing - still impressive, even when you know what happens. I am planning a rewatch myself sometime. At the moment I am rather invested in the tennis. |

I wouldn't dream of saying that he's dull on the other thread! Judging by people's avatars, he seems to be very popular. 
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Is he a former Space Command officer, selling his expertise? He's not pompous enough to be Space Command. Maybe a terrestrial SAS type. He seems quite pompous to me! But yes, more planetary experience than deep space. Edited by AnneArthur on 28-05-2022 10:13 |

YAY! My daughter has just completed the first 12km of her London - Brighton (100km) charity walk. Made it to the first checkpoint.

But yes, more planetary experience than deep space. We clearly move in very different circles. Grant is quite laid back. More the survivalist type without the Bear Grylls hype.

Awwww. There ought to be some kissing and making up there. Add to that Avon's little twinkle and Blake's laugh, it ought to be hugs all round.

I always forget that we don't know the relationship between Anna and Del until the end. When I first saw this, I wondered if they were rivals. Avon and Grant, I mean. |

I do like Blake's little smirk at the end. Avon's assumption that his love affairs are so much deeper and more significant than anyone else's . . . |

Knowing Anna as we now do, they probably were. Rivals, I mean. She ends up working for the Feds as a double agent, he's a mercenary -what a delightful family that must have been.

But he does do a little warm twinkle before telling Blake he doesn't understand. I think he's just saying "Mind your own business" in a way meant to deflect interest. That's why Blake laughs – because it's Avon-predictably thorny. I don't think Avon is saying that his love affairs are deeper. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Whether or not Del Grant puts his bracelet on Space ebay remains to be seen. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Well, I enjoyed that. It's a good story. There are some slightly daft things like the space craft sitting in a cradle in a shiny white room, but I always enjoy how it moves the whole story on in different ways – lots of avenues to explore. And Paul Shelley is a good baddie, if you catch my drift.

And with that, I'm signing off. Have a fun week everyone. Due to the aforementioned Walk, I have the house to myself for the weekend (other half has gone as support team). I may join Pilot in a binge-watch, or actually do some gardening, or... who knows? Great company, medium-rated episode ( since Servalan isn't even mentioned) , hope to see you all again next time.

We barely had Summer here. Maybe two days. Temperatures were mainly cool and it rained interminably. Winter is about to start and it doesn't seem all that much different.  I hope things are better in the south as I'm not planning on bringing my Winter wardrobe to the UK with me in July. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I need to get into the garden to do some planting, between rain showers. Still, there's always the tennis to binge-watch! |
