Dang, I responded directly to Nico rather than the list, so Nico's going to get two copies as I forward on to the list. Sorry.

Besides being puzzled about Belkov's crystals and his fate, here's an exchange in Volcano which leaves me as much in the dark as it did Vila:

I agree, I was puzzled too. I took the exchange to mean that Avon decided not to risk the Liberator or their lives on one weak signal, but didn't tell the others because he knew they would disagree (well, Cally would).

However, there's a sort of weird, meaningful nonverbal undertone to the conversation that I took to mean the two were discussing something deeper than Tarrant and Dayna's whereabouts. I decided it was meant to obliquely reference the fact that Blake and Jenna are still missing and Cally is questioning Avon's willingness to actually find them. I don't really have any evidence for the theory except that they sure seem to be discussing something important, and that's the only topic that comes to mind.
