Hi, Tyce! Nice to hear from you. Glad you're having a great trip. Thought I was going to be late today but then I remembered this is the Aussies we're talking about. Are you making snide comments about how slack the Aussies are?? If so, that would be a fair comment. LOL Not so much slack, as differently orientated about 'rules'. Um… tact. Cool. LOL The Federation Academy is big on tact. And about not so much bending the truth as not quite giving all of it. So unlike anything that was happening in UK politics at the time. I still think Thatcher had a hand in ending B7 and not allowing re-runs. Too many parallels with Servalan! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Indoor plants were popular in the late 70s. Good thing there are no macrame plant hangers.

Very, but as we know, that's not surprising. That photo of Ian Scoones I think it is, working on Thunderbird 2 is so brilliant and he worked on B7 of course, doing the weapons, spacecraft etc. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Have got a stone to make Travis II's version of the laseron destroyer. Just not sure how to do it so that it looks nice.

So how does getting hit in the arm by Travis's laseron destroyer ring mean you fall over dead?

The interesting thing is that he still has it, and I would have thought that they'd removed the activator before he went to trial. Travis does mention having Servalan give it back to him.

It's the ethnographic stuff with mud and feathers and bits of string that's the worst. I did macrame as a teenager back in the early 70s and that was quite enough thanks very much.

Well, it's been great hearing from you all, but I'm going to have to race off - our house guest has been patiently amusing herself for the past hour. The search goes on next week in 'Gambit'. Hope to 'see' you all again then, Bye for now, "You're not sulking, I hope?"

That was actually a better episode than I remembered. It's let down by poor production values, really - that, and not being able to get the same actor for Glynd again. |
