This disease is worrying, too. If it was introduced because of the Intergalactic War, how come the older Auronar /Aurons have developed an immunity?

Servalan's still got Imipak, then. Good to know.

That's such an odd episode - lots of interesting ideas, but lots of inconsistencies too. Very Blake's 7. |

One thing Jan said at the Brit Sci Fi was that she love doing the episodes where she got to play somebody else during the episode - like Zelda and in Sarcophagus. Because as an actor, she loved chance to try play other characters. |

Rather too much hilarity at Avon's parting shot, I thought. It wasn't that funny. Still a great episode, despite it not making sense, either internally or within the B7 canon, and not really achieving anything except that everyone survives except the apparently expendable current Auron/ar population. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I have to go now - I'm meeting someone for lunch. Thanks for the rewatch, and see you next week, when Avon finally gets his long-postponed revenge. |

I always think this episode isn’t anywhere near what I would’ve imagined the Auron’s to be like. To me, they seem way too ordinary and boring. I think I would consider that they would be more deep and enlightened. |

OK, hope Anne enjoys her lunch. Not sure what I'm doing (it's still raining - such a shame I can't do more weeding in the garden). but I hope you have a great weekend, Tyce. Bye for now. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

True, there are still some good things about it, and it makes an interesting watch. You just have to try and ignore the out of context bits. |
