You've obviously not read many fanfics . . .

Don't remember seeing Blake drinking anything in bed with Avon.

Love Servalan's dress. Too bad it's torn.

Are you saying that you’ve seen them in bed together, just not in bed together drinking? LOL

That is such a good episode. I'm going to have to dash - I have a lot of shoving things into piles in corners and frantic hoovering to do . . .

Have to devise a Corpse Reviver cocktail.

Love the way Servalan feels the kick from her gun firing. She's SO good at details.

Please do!

Bye Obsidian and Virn. Have a lovely week.

Meantime, I'm glad the owners of Cornbury felt secure letting the Beeb run around waving weapons at the fine china.

Hope we poor deprived Aussies get something happening here soon.

Hello everyone! I'm just passing as I need to go make some dinner before it gets too late. I was hoping to watch this one with you, but it hasn't panned out. I hope you are all well. RL, as everyone has said already.

I really love the 'big' fight scene in this. Like the one at the start of 'Countdown', I like the fast-paced action, though I do hate those trooper helmets that are missing the circular perspex guard that usually rings their helmets. I suppose it helps us tell the difference between the two sides.

One thing about Residence One, it's a trip outside the domes. The Atomic Wars aren't mentioned in the show, but the blurby stuff about B7 said they were the reason mankind 'retreated' to the domed cities. We know from The Way Back that leaving the domes is an offence, but also that the air and water supplies are drugged. My own personal feeling is that the Atomic Wars were a myth, or perhaps not as severe as described, but provided a useful excuse for keeping everyone locked up inside. Very hard to drug the entire atmosphere of the Earth; much easier if everyone is kept indoors. Servalan of course knows the truth and has a palace built externally. I'm somewhat reminded of something Guy Debord's mob wrote in a Situationist article, "The Geopolitics of Hibernation", about using the idea of a supposed threat as a way to control the population.

It seems a slightly fanciful idea, as anyone who went outside the domes would know the truth, plus any spacecraft approaching or taking off would presumably detect on their instruments that the outside environment was okay. I can partly get around that by assuming there's some strict 'no scanning' rule imposed, perhaps under the pretext of preventing military bases etc being revealed, but also by 'Moloch' which tells us (rather ludicrously, I feel) that the T-16 transport Vila and Tarrant teleport over to has no scanning devices. I hope they never go anywhere near meteorites... (or comets.. or asteroids.. or space junk... or other ships... or satellites...!)

Anyway, I must go and marinate some chicken.

When you get to the end, with the wall (Wallsend?), just pretend I asked "Was he fooled by love or was she loved by a fool?" Avon is not a fool, but I do like the symmetry of it.

I heard an interview only yesterday with ... David Maloney, I think... who said there was a shooting party being held there on the same day, and they all arrived at the same time. "All those shooting clay pigeons stand over here; all those shooting B7 stand over there."

Thanks for the floorplan and pictures, Obsidian. Excellent stuff!

I have the whole pdf if anyone wants it.
