From what he is saying, it looks like Bellfriar went out to examine Wiler, which might explain how he was contaminated. Ah, that could be it. Blake's wrong about it being air-borne otherwise he'd have to concede that they have might have caught it. But does Blake touch Bellfriar? Or Blake touched something Bellfriar had touched? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I think we will have to fall back on Blake being relatively resistant to it, and managing to get back to the Liberator before the symptoms started. Avon and Vila have the advantage of being in a less affected area. Once on the Liberator they can be cured, as in Children of Auron. |

I understand about not having a computer in the quarantine area unless it's like Zen and ORAC where you speak to them only. Keyboards are great fomites.
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

So all those people singing 'Vivat Camilla Regina' last week were Welsh too? |

Ah, the famous Death Quiver, well known from all TV plagues. |

I like the meals in a bag too. To me these little things suggest tha, for this episode, someone had really been thinking in terms of what happens in Space and it being different from Earth. Anyone else read Chris Brookmyre's science fiction stories? Love them. And, of course, he's A B7 fan. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Must identify those screens in the background. They look like microfiche readers.

As with all his books, they're mysteries. Intelligent and witty. With the sci-fi books, B7 fans will get a few giggles. His Jack Parlabane books were great for those of us who love Robertson Davies books. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Well, I liked that. To me it seems more sci-fi than a lot of episodes where it's as though they've been through the BBC dress-up bag.

I think, from the way they were standing around at the end, that we have to assume that the B7 teleport, like the Star Trek one, filters out viruses. But I'm getting to like this more - thanks for the rewatch, everyone. |

True, but given the mish-mash they come up with for some eps, it seems more homey, more the bags full of Mum's old clothes than a whole room where one might make intelligent and pertinent selections. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Glad it ended ... as it did. Right, next I’m off to watch qualifying for the upcoming Marbula 1 event at Sakura Gardens. Vital stuff, this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UGFm...UGFmpdWJlQ Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone. See you next time for fun and games in Betchworth quarry (again). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

But I'm getting to like this more - thanks for the rewatch, everyone. That may be a big assumption, but I do see the virus as a contact thing, not airborne or where you might breathe in spores or such-like. They'd have to go through a de-contamination shower. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Thanks for the rewatch ladies and gents. Maybe we should make it like that always – see you at Betchworth quarry etc. A change is as good as a rest... Until next time.

That is bringing back unpleasant memories of Enterprise! |
