Very well written - the first great Chris Boucher episode.

Yes Ms Virn sad turn of events here in Sydney but a police officer shot that carazed machette man dead. He killed few innocent bystanders & last heard Special Police task force has entirely sealed the shopping centre off


What a terrible thing to happen.

It's a very simplistic plan, Blake - destroy Shadow and the Terra Nostra collapse? I don't think so. It's only one of their income streams.


Just a tad.

This is a terrific episode and it also seems to set the direction for so much to follow.

Looks good, Obsidian. Thanks. Must be spectacular with light shining through the beads.

Glass eyeballs are quite affordable.

They're for my "Forever Avon: Shadow" necklace. I have all these half-finished B7 necklaces. I've had no time to work on them in ages.

Blake isn't even destroying all the moondiscs. As he says himself, there are probably several (many?) moondisc gardens, and, as we have seen, there are also plenty in the wild.

I get the impression Chris Boucher has been brewing this episode for a while - all that time with Terry N has rubbed off. Great writing and recognisably 'B7'-ish, more so than many of the other authors. A bit hard on Orac, though, maybe.

It certainly wouldn't be a viable business with just that one garden.

He's still attempting to destroy a whole species! Unforgivable!

I suppose 'ORAC gets taken over' makes a change - and he's right, isn't he, that level of interconnectedness is a danger.

Yes, he's right on point with all of them. But ORAC is still, at this stage, an unknown quantity, so this does seem to be a bit of a test of ORAC's potential and trustworthiness. As we see, ORAC is really only interested in its own survival. Not unlike some other characters, in fact.

I like that episode - complex and raises some interesting questions. I wish we'd seen a bit more of the moondisc.

Also, with the Liberator and Orac, Blake & co ought to be invincible, even though they're none of them saints. Having Orac appear less trustworthy makes them more vulnerabe.

Poor old Bec - even if he did reform, get a new life, spend time in the gym etc. he's going to be waiting a long time to show off to Blake.

Yes. Chris Boucher was an intelligent writer and quite political. It shows in his writing. It's the difference between writing for adults and writing for children. Some episodes are really at the kiddie level. For him the running around waving guns bit is incidental to the real issues.

Well, it's a case of you and who's army. Even with Liberator and ORAC the fallible human (organic) dimension makes them vulnerable.

CB was very good at the continuity. He ought to have been I suppose, being up close and personal to all the scripts.

So now MsV, you have to spill about why you want Largo's marbles.

OK, almost time to make lunch. So much more civilised with the later start time, here in the UK, although it does mean B7 takes up most of the morning.
I'm off to order my T-shirt(s?) for S-L-C. Not long now!
Bye, all. Hope the world treats you with respect, at least until next week. See you soon.

Yes, I like the later start - gives me a slow lazy Saturday. But time to get going. See you all next week, I hope!
