Something starts and something ends in this episode. Sam is closer to the path he has been heading for since he woke up in 1973...

Here's the link for daily motion. As usual I advise going to the iplayer.

Would I dare ask the truth of you
If t'were real what I've seen
Were you there? If I only knew
That I had a Dream

The music is beautiful in this episode...and full of ambiguity.

Hi, I'm probably not going to appreciate the ambiguously beautiful 'music' - unless you feel inclined to explain? But that would be almost as bad as explaining a joke, so perhaps not. Hope you're well, and that you remember it's Thursday.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

What day is it? It's Thursday. Shall we look through the oblong window?

Well done, OSP. Yes, it's Thursday!

I was looking at the lyrics to some of the songs in this episode but don't ask me what I was wittering on about....

Are we going to start on time, or wait and see if AnneA (or anyone else) is going to join us?

OneSparePart
Starting?

Let's do it!

M1795537OCVirn
In the absence of a reply, I'm starting.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
M1795537OCVirn
OK, you did reply then. And I have started.

You're very hasty, M'Virn.

I see someone's remembered there are two stories going on here.

Do you remember who Maya is?

Hasty McVirn's not a bad name for a B7 character.

Nope.

Sam's cop girlfriend from the very 1st episode.

OK, so there's going to be a load of angst about her vs Annie at some stage, eh?

You're making a lot of assumptions tonight.

Virn - green - sand - glitter. Hardly an assumption.

I love this episode. It's so un-pc. Oh, the irony!

PC as in Police Constable? Anyway, it's all pretty nasty so far. Attempted murder, murder, drugs, ...and whatever else they were up to. The ferret gets my vote, so far.

But now the best is the ''bloody small nun at a penguin shoot' line.

Oh, I'll admit it, I liked the "spastic in a magnet factory" line. Bad, aren't I?

I don't know why but tonight's episode reminds me of A Matter of Life and Death.

M1795537OCVirn
Why spastic + magnet? The callipers? They don't all have them. But all small nuns = penguins. A much better simile. Mine wins.

I have no idea what A Matter of Life and Death is.

It is a film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger one of the greatest pair of filmmakers in the Uk. David Niven, Kim Hunter, Raymond Massey...
I am mildly astounded.

Additional: real music is what the chap was playing on the Wurlitzer.

Fancy a Pressburger and Powell rewatch? You need the education.
