As to DotG, I'm never bothered by the dubious history of the Auronar in
that
episode because it's presented as legend, not as truth. Something like our legend of king Arthur, a nice tale but not to be taken seriously.
I'm not too sure about the claim that DotG doesn't fit with Children of Auron too well myself, to be honest. There's no flat contradiction like there is between CoA and "Time Squad" and "Bounty," after all, and even if there is truth to the legend, it did happen a *very* long time ago in Auron history-- a million years plus is a long time in which a civilisation can make a lot of changes.
I do like two things about it though: the Jacobean casualness with which Avon and Tarrant randomly shoot the two guards when they discover their sidearms are suddenly working, and Avon's line in the last scene of the episode: "I suspect we have made another enemy. A pity."
Mind you, IMHO the name "The Book of Auron" is naff as heck...

I like the bit with Avon cheerfully doing equations, just as I like only a few bits in Volcano, including Avon getting to fight a space battle all by himself--he so seldom gets to have any fun onscreen.
