I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Cally.... you don't have to run to the top of the hill to be teleported. The range isn't that limited....

Oh no. Exposition Cally...

The Moondisks gave Cally a haircut?

By the way there are theories that quantum computers are the modern oracles - mediums for contacting demonic forces, or aliens as is the modern term.

I think they did.

And let's be sure to never mention any of this again, not the moon disks, not Cally's Telekinetic ability, not Shadow, not Bek.....

Yes, you are right, Cally picks her bracelet up! I had forgotten, must be the age...

Brad
so.... does Servalan inherit the Terra Nostra and the Shadow operation?

(or shall we never mention it again)....

Probably return in one of the episodes of Series E

The boy had just escaped from the mafia that wanted to punish him as an example, and Blake wants to return him back.

Aside from the wanton destruction of the innocent moondiscs, that was great!

Bek on Space City, Inga on Exbar, Ro on Horizon... still waiting all these decades later for Blake to come back.....

Well thank you for a lovely rewatch. See you all next week for Mr Smooth!!
Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!
Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

That follow-up happens in Series E as well.

I will be sorry to miss the eyelashes. I will be at my Garden Club meeting!

I thought their use of qubits are to enable them to perform complex calculations needed for , among other, cryptography.

This was a very enjoyable rewatch! Thank you for your company and see you next week, bye!

As much as I liked Shadow, I long to see Mr. Smooth, so I'll be very glad next week to see the sensational Scott Fredericks. 'Night all.

OK, folks, have a good week, and hope to see you all again next time. And don't forget, it's the next installment of I, Claudius with the Thursday rewatch gang. Servalan could learn a lot from Livia. In fact, she probably did.

They don’t calculate or search for information in a deterministic way. Instead, they query it via specially designed “oracle functions” and then read out the answer from their memory, the so-called Q-bits, which is ultrasensitive to observation alone, without any physical interaction. No investigation process in between. The mechanism by which an observer collapses the quantum mechanical wave function - or the Q-bit state - is still largely unknown to science.
Whether this was intended as a message of the episode or not is debatable. But then what could it mean in context?

CALLY: I was a threat to it. I knew it was there because of my telepathy. Orac uses special communication waves, which pass into another dimension. And it is the same dimension that allows thought transference.
JENNA: Orac’s telepathic?
CALLY: No, telepathy is conscious. Orac has no consciousness in that dimension. He merely drives a beam through it. Which is why he could be controlled by this force.

In other words, this dimension is the realm of conscious beings, and as such - capable of collapsing the wave function directly, informationally, or am I to say spiritually, without any physical interaction. The same way they put bad thoughts in human minds, but the humans can still resist due to the free will - computers can't due to lack of it. All this is very scientific except that the demonic part is not scientifically proven.

Ask google for:
1. "EPR-Paradox and spooky action at a distance"
2. "the measurement problem" https://youtu.be/qB7d5V71vUE
3. "interaction free measurement".
4. "quantum computing and oracle function"
