I wonder if Lector is related to Hannibal?

Tarrant is doing quite well as a Blake substitute, poor planning, arrogance etc. I wish we'd seen more of them together.

Wish we'd seen more of Doran, too. Vila could do with a friend.

Well, ultimately, Tarrant's experience with Blake shows that he doesn't do nuance too well. They would have wiped each other out if Avon hadn't got there first.

Makes you think twice about 3-D printers, doesn't it?

OK, that was fun. Thanks, Ben Steed, even if the props people didn't quite realise your vision for Moloch. My dog recognised the end music and leapt from fast asleep on the bed to waiting by the door with a toy in his mouth, expecting me to take him out and play. He's done too many rewatches! OK, time to seee what's going on in St James's Square, if anything. Sleep well, Obsidian! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Well, I enjoyed that. There are some daggy bits but I quite like what it says about renegade troops building their own armies. And people wonder where dictators come from. An intimate rewatch. I hope I'll be able to catch you all for next week's rewatch MsVirn, but I could be a bit busy as I fly out the following day. Will just have to see how I'm going. Will drop in for THE WORD though. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Any song written by ex-convicts wouldn't be printable, let alone broadcastable on TV. Unlikely. I think that's what they were singing in that room there. Interesting that the convicts are all men – again. Clearly the writers at this time hadn't countenanced some of the really nasty female convicts who came along around that time. They hadn't watched "Within These Walls". Or Prisoner Cell Block H

Ha! Dayna forgot to refresh her screen! It's when you get the beach ball of death on the screen that you have to worry. In case neither of you has a Mac, that's a Mac joke. I thought that was a Prisoner reference! As in Patrick McGoohan, not the aforementioned Cell Block H. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I also like how Doran is all "Hail fellow well met" but is actually nasty. He's creepy, and one of the things I hate about this ep. I think we're supposed to find him endearing and Vila-esque, but he really isn't <shudder> There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Hi all - well, Sorry-not-sorry I missed this ep, but I was in London to see the ABBA show. London was weird, though - all the electronic advertising boards on the Underground were showing only pictures of the Queen. Strange atmosphere. It was good to dance to ABBA, a much needed reprieve. Tyce, if you're reading this - WASN'T THE SHOW AMAZING?! My friend and I didn't get seats, we were on the dance floor, right at the front, for the show. and afterwards carried on dancing at the Snoozebox Hotel bar across the road. My hip may never forgive me, but it was worth it

It doesn't matter that you didn't get seats - everyone up dancing anyway! |

Hi all.. Yet again missed this week's episode of the rewatch. My phone died so had to buy new one. $350 later (& unbeknown to me ) I had to re download all my on line apps & upgrade all my passwords that took ages. Hope all are well & sorry to hear bout the passing away of the Queen, sadly missed,loved by all, but not forgotten. . See you all next Saturday....
