Again, none of my choices made it :-( I'd hoped that at least Space Fall would get through. Am I the only one who feels that S1 is badly underrepresented?
OK, I can understand "Weapon" and "Horizon", and we all know that "Animals"
has its own small but vocal and dedicated group of promoters -- but what is the attraction of "Voice From the Past"? I know I've seen that one, but I honestly can just barely remember it.<
And me trying so hard to *forget* that mummy! :-)

It has been a bit thin so far, but we're bound to get to them eventually.

That's what bothers me; I can remember a few bits and pieces from "Voice From the Past", but I have no conscious recollection of Travis' mummy getup. Must have repressed it or something.

Now Voice is in, I'd be pleased to push Space Fall. Remind me next time.

I don't really have a problem with the mummy. I suppose my mind edits it out and replaces it with something more convincing.
The most annoying feature of the episode, for me, is the fact that it's implied the only way Blake could ever have considered negotiating with discontented elements within the Federation would be if they were controlling his mind. The story would work better if it was a parallel to Shadow and his attempt to recruit the Terra Nostra, and I'd also move it back a bit.
That way, the first part of second season could be loosely grouped around Blake attempting to find allies to help him overthrow the Federation, and then discovering that they're ruled out (the Terra Nostra are the Federation, the dissident governors have been infiltrated by the Federation, possibly something similar with grassroots rebels, or else they're only interested in local issues and ignore the big picture). And then that forces him into the decision that there is no alternative to the destruction of Central Control/Star One, which dominates the second half of the season.
