You know one assumes Sarah was pretty ordinary before she got involved with all of this, therefore, while she might go ahead with this plan to become rich, I’m not sure the smiling when she hears people being murdered quiet would fit the character she would be. I do hope you're not saying that, as a woman, she wasn't cut out to be a murderer? That would spoil the whole point of the episode. (That's why they had to try it again with Piri). Not at all. It’s just that the implication is that on the planet Destiny everyone is a farmer. Therefore, would be a pretty average person. And I feel the suggestion is that Sarah is only agreeing to steal the neutrotope because the temptation was just too great. But murder is a totally different level of criminality, so while I believe she go along with it to get rich I can’t imagine her smiling when it happens. But they are plainly all scientists, not farmers. The odd agricultural scientist would be essential. Unless you’re suggesting scientists are murderers LOL in then same principle applies. |

Now you've reminded me it's DUEL next. Still no Servalan. Oh well.

If rewatch over can me stop standing on head now? Yes, but you’ll have to stand on your head again for the next Aussie rewatch next week. Not my head me standing on. Looks as if that might be difficult from what I can see of it. Glad you were able to join in. It's been a while. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

No, not QED, but they aren't necessarily all 'ordinary' farmers either. An ordinary farmer might not realise the significance of the neutrotope. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

'Agricultural scientists' good grief. I think the work you're looking for is 'agronomist'. And yes, they are odd.

By the way, next Saturday night, I will be in Adelaide watching the ABBA museum choir perform. Bit of a shame because I do like Duel. Have fun Tyce! Sounds excellent. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Likewise, there are no 'normal' farmers.

Anyway, hope you have a great time not rewatching DUEL, Tyce. And I hope you can have a new furry friend soon, Obsidian. (meaning the cat(s), not Og. He's already a friend). Glad the new PC is working out, Anne. Lovely to be with you this morning, everyone. Take care till next time.

Likewise, there are no 'normal' farmers. I don't think so. All that salt of the earth stuff. Same as everyone else. When I was at school, back in the Dark Ages, parents of several students walked out on their farms and their animals when there was a drought because it was cheaper to walk away, or so they said. Eye-opening that was. Greed? What greed? I couldn't leave an animal to just die whatever it cost me. Better a bullet. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

That guy has a lot to answer for. No, it's actually the US-style neoliberal economy that has a lot to answer for. And on that sobering note, I'm off to have some food and a nice glass of red. Have a good week MsVirn (BTW, haven't noticed any recent email or website probs, but did a few weeks ago. They sorted themselves). Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
