Here's where it starts to get tricky: by Sunday 29th, the UK will be back on GMT, but for this rewatch we're still on BST, so our start time is 10.30am. It's next week when we might have problems. Not looking at anyone in particular, AA. For the Aussies, who are basking in their own summer time, start time is 8.30pm. D5 Animals. And we soon find out who the real animal is in this one. 'Creepy' is the right word for one particular character, although the brainwashing sequence isn't much better. Hero to cheer (but sadly) is Og, of course... although you have to love the way Servalan makes her entrance leaning on the doorway of the lab, too. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Ooops, sorry I’m out again. I’m off to Octoberfest. Well a local celebration of it anyway. Fingers crossed for next week. Have a lovely rewatch. |

Honestly, Tyce, you'd think there were other things to do, with real people and everything, the way you keep missing rewatches! Hope Octoberfest is fun!

Don't know about anyone else, but my PC keeps giving me 'service temporarily unavailable' messages, then coming back online a few minutes later. You rebels haven't been attacking our communications again have you?

Hi MsVirn No trouble this end – yet. All well? Are the elves getting ready? As for basking, hmmm. Mark you, Summer can stay away. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Good week your end? At mine, the cat went missing, just to add to the frantic fun.

This is a weird episode IMO. An attempt to give Dayna a backstory she didn't need!

It does seem weird now that we've experienced it with Dayna, but I can see – sort of – how it could be Cally on Auron. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hello all! Sorry to hear about the cat, Obsidian - hope he returned safely. Next week will be earlier - but next week I will (hopefully) have finished the heresy book, so will be less stressed by an order of magnitude. |

Our three are in a silly mood this morning. Charging about all over the house chasing each other. And it's not even windy. My week was mostly OK, and today my husband is off to Brighton (again) for afew days. I get to feed the sheep, poultry, dog, cats etc. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

We all need a break sometime, so I'm glad you made it. Louella was found after I'd searched all the local trees and suggested that over-the-back's tree was the only one I couldn't see into. That's where she was. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think I could just about imagine Jenna with Justin - not as a serious thing, but a fling. With Cally - possibly just after she left Auron, and split from the other Auronar, and was feeling lonely and vulnerable? |

Justin pontificating about the War being a mistake - what did he have to do with it? The Andromedans attacked without warning. No mistake on their side. What did he expect the Feds to do - roll over and let them walk in?

And yes, what room does Avon have to talk about Tarrant damaging the ship after he crashed it into an asteroid last week?

I can see Cally being more revolted by what Justin is doing now than Dayna. It seems out of character for Dayna to worry that much, given how into killing she is.

Servalan didn't know about justin's experiments, so whoever was President before her must have been at least as...can't think of the word...forward-thinking?

He's driving down, so that he can bring stuff back. He was hoping to hire a van to make it in one trip, but judging by the prices quoted it would be cheaper to buy a van. So he's going to have to do a couple of trips. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I think it's one thing to be prepared to kill in battle, and another to be happy to engineer new creatures from humans and animals. |

We know this is the sort of thing about which Cally was sensitive, though she HAD killed in battle. Dayna, as we saw with her father telling her off, liked to bop things. There was no battle in her life previously. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

No idea who it belongs to - he didn't play. Yet another thing he was fixing for someone, perhaps. Now we need to find the someone! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Justin looks like these lovely 1980s Guzzini cups and saucers. Funny that.

Tarrant is meant to be a pilot, though it seems he's having trouble with Slave as well.
