I can't express how much I love the fact that the Liberator crew - old AND new - regularly sit down and play board games together. And that none of them seem to think it's a silly thing to do. <3
( ... )
I like the board game too. Seems to be a space-y cross between Monopoly and Risk...
Tarrant taking the hump at someone going for the one spacesuit is odd. Snide remarks after the fact - sure. Trying to actively hinder so they all die together - over the line into creepy!
Adore the 'fingers are designed for button pushing not writing' notion!
Semi possessed Cally, and so begins a line of tenuous episodes using her brain...
I find this a really odd episode. Like, is everything really black just to show we're in a black hole? And the workers.. it's like a slightly odd amish Bletchley where everyone has their own confusing bit to do. The death robot is also pretty pathetic and possibly the first sign that escape will be totally possible!
I donlt actually believe Orac would try and fill his memory banks if it involved maybe Orac not exisiting any more. The half lies about Orac are also.. well, odd. I wonder if we were meant to find Tarrant clever because of it?
I wondered if ORAC was being influenced by the Thaarn? We know from 'Shadow' that things that affect Cally can also affect him. It does seem out of character to be so curious as to risk his own destruction.
This story feels lime the B7 crew wandered off into a Doctor Who story somehow. Old gods that are actually aliens, the initial causeof the plot problems being sheer curiosity, harmless nice guys defecting from the enemy and getting killed for the crew's sake, And I can think of at least three DW stories where whole planets are being steered around by meddling with the gravity
( ... )
seems perfectly content o let Tarrant do almost all the talking and the vast majority of the order giving It's interesting how different the crew dynamics are compared to the Blake days. Even though one often hear people assuming that Avon is in charge in S3, there's really not much evidence of that in the eps in question that I can see (at least not so far.) Where they go and what they do appears to be dictated by whomever happens to be most motivated at the moment.
Tarrant and Dayna are suddenly and inexplicably very suspicious of Cally Not to mention Cally going "nope, nothing even remotely similar has ever happened to me before..." And the Avon and Vila, who actually may have reasons to be suspicious, saying nothing. It is clearly a Delicate Subject. :-)
a few more times that would have been useful and wasn't apparently on offer Hmm. Perhaps it is indiscriminate and therefore can't be used when any of the crew are on board?

Fairly "meh" for me, although I did like the hat.
