There is a slight confusion over dates with Ensor - in 'Deliverance'/'Orac' it is said that he disappeared some forty odd years ago but Avon in 'Rescue' says twenty (though it is implied that the Ensors were in occasional touch with the rest of the galaxy for more than suplies. Servalan says in DEliverance that there had been rumours about Orac for years) Jacqui __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

I think Dorian kept Soolin around to pick her brains while he developed the clipguns. Dorian was smart, but not smart enough to build the teleport by himself, or to realise he was actually building a tele-ergotron. So he consulted the Seska while building the teleport, and he saw Ensor at some stage, possibly when designing Slave (Slave was described as 'advanced' in Rescue, remember). I don't think Soolin had been around Dorian long enough to have seen any other victims.

re: Bonfire night

Blake and co. could have a Bonfire celebration Avon would make a Servalan doll to burn on the fire, although Blake would try to remind him that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament. Avon wouldn't care, Servalan having outdone his costume at the ball-for-all. Where each side secretly tried to kill the other. Dayna would make the fireworks, every-one else would run as she put too much powder in it. Vila would make toffee apples or at least try but end up using the apples to make Cider and so would give the toffee to the others. Gan would have some nice sensible sparkles, but put them on a cake which he made for everyone. Jenna would buy some large Catherine Wheels which she would then use the liberator to set off in space. Cally would either hate the waste of a possible destructive force against the Federation or think it a good reason for them all to be at peace. Soolin would pretend to be disinterested and then thoroughly enjoy it. Orac would find the idea of fireworks interesting and insist they let fireworks off for so long, they all grow tired and fire Orac into space on a large firework.

Bonfire night
by jacquispeel＠netscape.net 05 Nov '01

Just been to a bonfire night event (ie for non-Brits - fireworks etc to celebrate attempt 1605 to blow up Parliament) with brother, sister in law & their two children (three month old slept through it all) Not something that would be celebrated in Federation times (g). Is it true that such festivities generate a significant portion of the year's air pollution?

RE: [B7L] Why wasn't Sleer recognised?
by Sally Manton 05 Nov '01

05 Nov '01

Stephen asked: <Incidentally, why don't you like the Pylene thread ?> It just grates on me horribly. I mean, I can suspend disbelief all the way to the Crab Nebula and back if I want to (I like *Kairos* after all!!) but this super-wonderdrug that's supposedly instantaneous, permanent and utterly without side effects, that turns people into happy efficient little workers *and* drugged-out zombies depending on script needs, and just happened to fall into Servalan/Sleer's lap at the moment she needed it ... it screams MacGuffin even louder that the Liberator turning up for Blake (and isn't nearly as entertaining to watch). And the way it's ditched after Traitor until Warlord (surely Our Heroes should have been concentrating on spreading the antidote around rather than collecting headless androids and Ogs?) Basically, it's an insult to the viewers - the worst one in the series, IMO. There are things I like about Series 4 - a surprisong number when I sit down and think about it, more than Series 3 - but it's ruined by the Sleer/Pylene muck. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Fwd: [B7L] Vila's outfit change after teleporting to Terminal

Nicola wrote: <He also remembers his mother's warnings about wearing clean underwear in case of accident or arrest, and having a good stock of it.> Funny how those old saws survive through fire, flood, famine and the agres. I always think of this one when watching the start of Redemption: Orac does the prediction thing - we're all going to die! So what do we do, but head en masse to the Wardrobe room for a complete change of image ... <Does it fly?> <grin> no sillier than anything I could come up with. Now explain Jenna's lightning-change-while-teleporting act in The Keeper. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Perhaps Dorian kept Soolin around for the same reason I keep a first aid kit in my car - a second best option, but useful until you can arrange something better in an emergency. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Vila's outfit change after teleporting to Terminal
by Nicola Mody-Nikoloff 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

Just for a laugh, I've got an explanation for this 'blooper'. In 'Terminal', Vila wears a loose Russian-style (side-fastening) tunic over a black shirt. In 'Rescue', he's wearing an earlier season 3 outfit (worn in 'Ultraworld' and 'Moloch'). I've got a theory which is in character. The enzymes are already eating through the flight deck walls, and Zen has said the Liberator won't survive breaking orbit. Vila knows he will have to abandon ship. He's a very cautious lad and doesn't like the cold, once turning his thermal suit up so high he almost suffered nasty burns. He also remembers his mother's warnings about wearing clean underwear in case of accident or arrest, and having a good stock of it. So he dashes off to his cabin, strips to his underpants, puts several clean pairs on over them, then a spare outfit just in case Terminal is chilly (he chooses one which earlier fitted so nicely under a Fed trooper uniform), then the quite loose outfit he just took off. Of course, before leaving his cabin, he also makes sure he's got his emergency lockpicks, his credit card, and some spare socks. Once in the Terminal base, of course he overheats and takes off the top outfit, which gets left behind later in the bombed ruins. Does it fly? Nico *** This e-mail is privileged and confidential.
