C9 Sarcophagus
Is this the 'marmite*' episode? Fans seem to either love it or hate it. Writer Tanith Lee uses her Fantasy talents to introduce something new to the B7 canon. Whether it's a breath of fresh air (although Cally does get taken over again) or more of the same with a twist (basically, different costumes) it's certainly a change.
Perhaps there's an issue in that it comes immediately after 'Rumours' - a hard act to follow - but for me the fantasy elements aren't really integral to the plot and create an unnecessary distraction from what is otherwise a reasonable story. In my view, Cally deserved better for 'her' episode. What do you think?

*Other yeat-based products are available.

Urgh, I can't believe I have to watch this in primitive standard definition like an Og

Are you suggesting the long-fabled blu-ray edition might be better?

I can't imagine how we poor primitives managed for so long.

Also, wouldn't TT let Og watch B7 on his set-up?

Downunder, eh?

This is my first rewatch and I recall enjoying this episode a lot partly due to how wonky it is and mostly because the Cally actor appeared to be having great fun.

I'm OK. Crawling to the end of a busy month. Glad for a bit of warm weather. How are you both?

I think some people don't like it because it's not derring-do. I like it because it takes B7 into a different space. And why not?

Hello everyone. I'm just at the point where the alien's servants are being conjured up. I don't like this episode as much as Sand, but I do like the way Tanith Lee focusses on unexplored relationships between the crew.

3m: Just weird alien ceremony stuff with no talking, plenty of strange costume and effects and a pure Dudley Simpson(?) soundscape.

I LOVE IT

Really there's nothing worse in scifi than aliens that are just humans (or humans with bumps on their noses). I like it when a show tries, even if they fail at least they try

The opening sequence is perhaps a little too 'bandicoot of interpretative dance'.

Hi AnneA. All well with you?

The other thing is that it has many roles for female extras for once.

I'm OK - have spent a busy week tidying up the heresy book, only to find that there was a good reason for the way we had it before. But I'm planning a couple of weekends away, which is making me hopeful. And it's warm and the sun is shining. How are you?
