Back to the timeline again - Servalan also had to get back to Earth (well, Space Command HQ which is in Earth orbit) after Goth, and she'd have to wait until someone gave her a lift because Travis had nicked her ship. I imagine, being who she is, she could get a ship quite quickly. How do we know that Space Command is in Earth orbit? It says so in my B7 Programme Guide. Is that Tony Atwood? I don't rely on him for anything. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Incidentally, we haven't heard from Pilot53 in a while. Has anybody been in touch with him?

Morning everyone. It's nothing personal - I'm just not good at time-keeping, never have been. We had torrential rain on Tuesday - not much since, but lots of threatening clouds. Hi AA. Hi Tyce! Hope you are not feeling too jetlagged. Struggling a bit but at least less jet lagged than last time. Glad to hear it. Did you go to the British Sci-fi con? Sure did. I’ve got lots to tell when my brain wakes up. Looking forward to hearing it! I've seen a few pictures. I have seen photos of Jan Chappell and Sally Knyvette - I thought it was on this site, but it must have been on Facebook. Only a few of them, though. Why haven't the rest of us seen them?? Where's the report for the website?? |

These Andromedans look very rag-tag and bobtail, don't they? Not exactly a military force, more the little boats of Dunkirk.

Such a pity about what's showing on Servalan's screen. They just didn't have the technology back then to make it look like something that made sense. But they tried.

It makes a lot of sense to have a totally unshielded Power Well of Doom in the middle of a control room. |

The BBC didn't have it, but it was out there for those in the – at that time very exclusive – computer industry. It was something my brother was part of and it was quite amazing what was available for them to play with. It took a long time for things to become commercially available.

A flying vacuum cleaner that went rogue would be bad news.

I think my heart rate has gone down. I can't imagine what it must have been like in the UK back in the day, having to wait to find out what happened next. In Australia we got Seasons B and C in the same year so it wasn't as tough.

That is an amazing episode to finish season 2 on. Just when you think you know what is happening, suddenly the stakes change completely. |

Can't say I feel the call at all yet. Besides, I'm quite happy with my own intelligence. Maybe if you lack any...

It is, that's why I can't imagine what it was like back in the day in the UK, waiting for the next series. We only had to wait a few months in Australia between the two so they seemed to follow on quite smoothly with the sudden dramatic change in crew etc. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

So that's it. No more Travis. Servalan will have to manage without her sidekick now. Anyway, she doesn't need one. He was useful, but not much help.
