I was expecting Cally's sister to teleport out but she took her braclette off before they could get her out.

Did you have a good time in Cornwall? Sorry to hear that you've been ill too.

Hi Anne. Good to be back. Had a great time at Forever Avon and in Cornwall/Devon. Got the aeroplane lurgy when I got back. The flights back to Australia are always hotbeds of illness, masks notwithstanding. Had laryngitis, the whole horrible thing. Not as badly off as the Aurons though.

Has anyone written fanfic about what happened to the genestock after their escape and relocation?

I wonder to what extent Cally's presence in a group of freedom fighters influenced Servalan's decision to go after Auron?

Sorry, to hear that Tyce. Get well soon!

I'm still under the weather with Covid, but on the plus side it means I have to stay at home instead of running around doing errands for the in-law, so I can join the rewatch.

So you have the plague Travisina? Sorry to hear that. I wonder how many from the con came down with it after. I hope it hasn't been too bad. My brother got it from going to a Bastille Day bash.

One of the subtle things I like about this ep is that they hired sets of twin actors to play the extras on Auron - Cally and Zelda aren't the only clones!

Well think I'll be off. Grab a hot drink then bed. Great seeing you all as always.
Cheers one & all. See you next week.

Is this the first episode where Servalan wears black?

It's a month since Forever Avon, and I think I got it more recently. In the past fortnight, I've been to the hairdresser, physiotherapist, hospital (with father in law), two restaurants, regular trips to supermarkets, local shops... could have come from any of those. I still wear a mask, but almost nobody else does

Yes, that's right. A theory was that she switched from white to black in mourning for her babies, but if that was the case she'd still be in white for this ep.

Fascinating - the episode is about a plague and most of what we're talking about are our own illnesses.

That was the big thing I noticed in the UK – hardly anyone wearing masks, whereas it's still reasonably common here in Canberra. We always wear them in shopping centres.

The UK goverment is trying to pretend that it doesn't exist any more

The UK goverment is trying to pretend that it doesn't exist any more - gets in the way of the really important things, like the threat of unisex toilets.

Ok then, for a change let me say that I'm enjoying Avon's and Cally's 'V' outfits.

And I do so love Gingka.

Avon is right, but he is being very unattractively cold-blooded in this episode. A little sympathy for Cally would not go amiss, I feel.

Revenge for her earlier 'fondness for him' comment?

Gingka is fascinating. One of the very few ethnic minority officers we see in the Federation, and he is complaining about being passed over. I have a theory that the pre-Federation regime practiced ethnic cleansing (explaining the number of planets with black leaders in Warlord - they were all banished from Earth). Since the Federation took over, a few have come back (Hal Mellanby, for example), but the Federation is still very white, and anyone else stands out a mile.

Gets in the way of economic growth, except that people being ill has very obviously got in the way of economic growth. Logic bypass.
