Obviously, the scenes filmed on the planet were filmed after the scenes on the ship. Cally wears a shorter hairstyle on the planet.

How can Cally contact Vila on the station if
Vila isn't wearing a teleport bracelet?

All in all I thought that Jan Chappell was
at her best in this episode,probably as there
was a lot more for Cally to do than usual.

Blake was uncharacteristically ruthless this time around. Is leading a rebellion getting to him? I mean, he's willing to work with the nastiest criminal organization around!

One thing I was unclear on Largo sounded like he was calling both the brother & sister "Dreamheads," but it seemed as though the brother (Bek?) was not--which was it?

What does Blake expect Bek to do after he returns him to the space station? Mightn't it be a good idea to _ask_ him where he wants to go?

Just watched the beginning again. Bek says he's not foolish enough to take Shadow, so that clears that up. (-=

Good episode- the moonstones are done particularly well (even though, just occasionally, you can see the string pulling them along).

At the end of "Redemption" Blake told Zen to set a course for Earth- when did he change his mind?

So did Blake use a shuttlecraft to head over to the spaceport? Why? He's never been afraid to use it before- and when things go skew-whiff he uses the transporter anyway so he's left a shuttlecraft there for the Terra Nostra to use.

On the subject of that, Blake returns very quickly after he initially abandons the siblings. In that short time (we are talking a barely five seconds) he learns about Villa, makes a decision to beam back and get the siblings, grabs the transporter bracelets and beams back.

Cally cheats in this episode as well- she sets the spaceport a six-minute timelimit to release Blake. After some witty banter she says they now have 5 minutes and 55 seconds. Then they launch a ship, which she blows up and she then states they have three and a half minutes. Trouble is, barely a minute passes between that call and her previous one.

I think Paul Darrow enjoyed the rather witty lines he had in this episode- too many to mention.

Probably had it on a bedside table and could still communicate with it.
