Rewatch Downunder - D1 Rescue, Saturday 1st October
M1795537OCVirn
Our heroes have to rescue themselves from not only the physical problem of how to find a way off the inhospitable Terminal, but also the emotional problems of loss and betrayal. They know better than to accept Servalan at her word - and she's already warned that the ship she promised them needs repairs.

A new series, new characters but the same old problems. Joining a new group is always stressful and this definitely isn't the best of times - for any of them.

Most significant line: Vila, shouting, "HELP!"
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Tyce
I’m here but late. How is everyone?
 
Tyce
Uh oh…. I’m feeling rather lonely. :-(
 
M1795537OCVirn
Hello from Virn. Hope I don't get distracted this time. Looking forward to meeting Dorian. Always thought he and Avon would either hit it off and team up, or kill each other withinn days - wish we'd had more of a chance to find out. But Dorian turned out to be someone else entirely, a reject from Dr Who in fact, so I'm not surprised things didn't go well.

How is everyone today? Apologies from Travisina - she has to work.

I'm here! Sorry I'm a bit late. Finally succumbed to the dreaded Covid, but so far (touch wood) it hasn't been worse than the flu, and I'm feeling a bit better today (four days in).
 
Tyce
Oh well I guess we’ll rewatch next week. Please note Australia moves it clocks forward tonight so next week the time in Oz will be 8pm. I hope you are all well. Bye.
 
Tyce
Oh gosh I was nearly out the door. Hello Anne Arthur, hello Virn.
 
AnneArthur
I do like the credit sequence for series 4. And I must confess to a weakness for Scorpio - a good plain workhorse of a ship.
 
Tyce
Is out starting time 8:40/10:40 i.e. now?
 
AnneArthur
So is 8pm half an hour earlier than at present, or half an hour later?

Oops sorry. I meant 8:30pm. Same time for you guys.
 
AnneArthur
Anyway, why is Cally's last word 'Blake', do we think? And here's Scorpio sailing across our screen, plain and unglamourous, the anti-Liberator.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Er...I'm starting, at about 10.45am.

OK, shall we pause to let you catch up?
 
Tyce
Yeah typical bloody Tarrant, taking a nap when there are things to be done. LOL

Thanks! I porbably should have been able to work it out myself.

My player isn't awake yet.
Sorry to hear about the Covid, Anne. Hope you can take time to rest and get properly better.
Hi, Tyce. How's things downunder?

Well, I suppose I was bound to get it at some point. That I got it at the start of term is a nuisance, though.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Hi, I'm with you. Where are you up to?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
Has anyone seen Obsidian lately?

Hi, Tyce. How's things downunder?

Things are good here, if you don’t count our damn Optus data breach - which I’ve been caught up in. :-(
 
M1795537OCVirn
Forgive me for not following Aussie news, but what's an Optus data breach, and how are you involved?

No, perhaps I should text her?

Nope, And she hasn't replied to my message.

The base is destroyed. Avon has just gone back to look for Tarrant, who has collapsed (fortunately in a dark red outfit that is very visible against the snow), and a monster is attacking Vila and Dayna. Our heroes are about to meet Dorian . . .

And in the time it took me to type this, here he is!
 
Tyce
I think that thing is screeching to echo Vila’s screeches. LOL
 
M1795537OCVirn
Thanks. So here comes the baby worm from Dune.

Hey all finally made down & safe. How are all today /night or whatever your time zone is?
Australia
The Penal Colony
Where Servalan is supreme commander.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Doran's costume is a bit like what student nurses used to wear. The same colours, anyway. But dirtier.

Hi, Pilot. Nice to hear from you.
Watch it, Avon, Dorian's not answering your questions.

Optus is one of our largest telcos. They left their computer systems exposed and hackers got all the data of all their customers. Names, addresses, birthdates, drivers license numbers, passports etc. 10 million Australian’s have lost their data to hackers. Considering there are only 25 million people in Australia it’s been a major catastrophe here.
 
AnneArthur
And the same volcano footage from 'Volcano' . . .

Tyce hi & yes our clocks go 1hr forward as from 2am Sunday morning

I've just been reading up on this - it sounds terrible! I hope your data is secure again now.

I think if I were in a hospital and he showed up, I'd check myself out!
 
M1795537OCVirn
So they made sure we know Scorpio is an old ship - so it doesn't matter that everything looks like it's nearly 50 years out of date.
