So just like that, it's going to be OK? Yep. Back to normal in the morning. Normal for London, that is. |

That was rather an abrupt ending! You're just too used to B7 jokey endings. At least we're spared all the moralising 'epilogue', followed by hook-ups between the characters. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

So just like that, it's going to be OK? Do you want to watch a film of them picking up body parts and sweeping the streets? Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

That was enjoyable enough but I always get the feeling of an opportunity slightly missed when I watch Q&tP. |

I won't be around next week, but if we are doing Q4 by episodes, I can always catch up in time for the week after. |

They'll just ignore it and hope for a maverick rocket scientist to save the day Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Interesting twist to see Q almost getting taken over. Didn't like his hat much, though.

Well, I've mugged up a bit on the Q4 series now and it's actually ripping off CotS! Which is a massive positive. Stone circle! And it comes with added Toyah! The phrase 'Ith a megalith!' is now stuck in my brain. Plus it's got radio telescopes. I bloody love a radio telescope. Eavesdropping on the cosmos. Swivelling a big dish around. Magic. I'm sure we've all got our own favourite bit of the electromagnetic spectrum and radio waves are definitely mine.... Some of those bad boys have got wavelengths of thousands of miles! Awesome. I'm overexcited again. Bring it on! |
