It's that weird time-line problem again, the bane of Playing the Game in the first few episodes. If they were half-way to Cygnus Alpha when the events in Spacefall took place, then we have to swallow the idea that they were on the Liberator for four months and [a] got the food, water, air etc controls going without meeting Zen (wonder what the food looked like :-)?); and [b] managed to miss the doors to the Treasure and Wardrobe Rooms for the whole time (one hopes they found the washing machine, however, since they only had one set of clothes each).

Personally, I'd've much rather gone into the detail of their first few days on the ship, trying to find these essentials before they starved, and with the accompanied risks involved in trying out each new piece of alien technology and hoping it isn't the self-destruct, than met the un-Kryptic Kult.

<Even when they are stuck on the planet, Vila is still telling jokes - does he take nothing seriously?>

Oh yes (see the start of City); here it's partly a reflex reaction to nerves, I think.

<Blakes first LIE. He doesn't tell Jenna and Avon about being assulted. Grrr..>

Do be fair to Fearless Leader. At this stage, wouldn't YOU treat what you said to Avon with a fair amount of caution?

<We have now gone three full episodes into the show and not one mention of football.>

There are some things to look forward to in the future then ? ;-)
