Jacqueline obviously liked this scene because she came up with the idea/the girl next door line, but do we have any idea what Steven Pacey thought? It is such a great scene - and they do it perfectly. Oh yes |

I am torn between feeling that it is a bit arrogant of Tanith Lee to reference her other episode, and liking the fact that someone is mentioning Cally. I like it because so rarely is there any mention of previous events. The problem with having different writers who are only interested in their offering. It makes sense for her to hark back to something that would disturb Vila. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

The probability square is the one thing in this episode that annoys me. It feels like a very 80s fad - was it? |

I'm amazed that no-one in Keller's team managed to spill water on the sand.

Pity about the fake sky in the background. The green sand on the hills and rocks actually looks quite good. I quite like it - it's all rather surreal, and adds to the atmosphere. I don't think it would have worked as well in a buddliea-bedecked quarry. Spider update - I've found a bottle of White Chestnut essence (Bach flowers) in our first aid drawer. Does anyone thing that would work? Worth a try? Nah, it just smells of the carrier liquid (cheap brandy!). Aromatherapy essence might be better. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

'The nastiest part of all...' and Tarrant tries to move in. She however, instantly pulls back. She's over him already. But not quite over Keller. Power isn't just 'like' a drug, it is one.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Does anyone thing that would work? I have to confess, I’ve never heard of using white chestnut essence. But that doesn’t mean much because as I said, I just fumigate so really don’t think about alternatives To be fair, these are tiny 'money spiders', nothing like your super-scary Aussie ones!

Servalan using the Richard III gambit - you say you want to shoot me, well go ahead, do it. Worked both times, didn't it? There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Nice to see Tarrant thinking for once. It's such a pity he normally regards his brain as for emergency use only. |

A computer that produces food, looks like we’ve just stepped into an episode of Star Trek. Which reminds me - I've not yet had breakfast! Between RL work and spiders, it's been a busy morning. Back in a mo... There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Probably ( ) just marks a growing interest in certain type of stats and, of course, the greater accessibilty of computer-based personal stats progams.It'd be a nice idea if you could identify all the variables. Unfortunately, that's not usually possible. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The choice is a refuse or become part of Avon’s Heram. LOL Soolin and Dayna agree with Avon’s plan. LOL |

Hey Obsidian - when you put () round it looked like it had tentacles or anthers or some such! () !

Jacqueline obviously liked this scene because she came up with the idea/the girl next door line, but do we have any idea what Steven Pacey thought? It's because at one time they ended up living on houseboats next to each other. And based on a real conversation - Jac took great glee in describing the expression on Steven's face when they realised they were going to be neighbours! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I am torn between feeling that it is a bit arrogant of Tanith Lee to reference her other episode, and liking the fact that someone is mentioning Cally. Both! And maybe Chris Boucher suggested it? There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Given his response at the time, he can't have minded that much having their conversation used in the script. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I like it because so rarely is there any mention of previous events. The problem with having different writers who are only interested in their offering. It makes sense for her to hark back to something that would disturb Vila. And I like how affected Vila is, more so than the others. He really liked Cally.

Great stuff, everyone. And now I'm off to play with the emojis, to see what happens when I give them brackets. Or maybe other things.... Have a great week, and stay safe. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

He actually feels guilt. The others don't - they all have psychopathic traits! Maybe it's how people in general have adapted to living in the Third Calendar. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nice to 'see' people today, even if I didn't watch the ep. Have, I think, dealt with the spider situation, but now need to change my sweatshirt, which smells of vinegar. Have a good week! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
