*gasp* Was Cally wearing the same outfit as she wore the previous episode?
Blake says they are on the edge of the spiral rim. How is that to be interpreted? On the edge of one of the four known spiral arms of our galaxy? At the tip of our spiral arm? (Unlikely, as I believe the tip extends about one-quarter to one-half around our galaxy from where we are.) Or actually near the edge of our galaxy?
When asking Zen for information, Zen says, "There is no information." then after that he says "Negative information" many times instead of "No information."
So what exactly is Orac teaching Gan in the Teleport room?
Cally gives Vila Adrenalin and Soma won't they just counteract each other?
Also I believe it was 2/3 adrenalin to 1/3 soma, but Vila went to sleep instead of perking up.
So why didn't Blake & Jenna hear the buzzing of the surveilance camera?
Why does this conquered world out on the rim have better surveilance equipment than other Federation worlds?
You woud think that the teleport circle would shrink into the middle of where the characters teleport to, but Gan & Vila form off to the side of it.
So why didn't Gan fire after being hit with the first dart? Limiter wouldn't let him actually fire?
Apparently this world was colonized. Blake says, "Aren't they human beings, Ro?" about Ro's people.
At the beginning Blake doesn't know anything about the planet, but later he tells Ro about Porer. If Porer had told Blake of his planet, then why didn't Blake remember this earlier?
Blake's 7 are off to the side of the teleport circle when teleporting back to the ship.
The 3 pursuit ships are traveling in a straight line, and hit the magnetic barrier and are destroyed. Except that we see one ship blow up, with no ship behind it, then the second ship blow up with no ship behind it, finally when the third ship blows up it looks much closer to Liberator than the others.

Didn't he say that Porer had called it by another name? It might have taken Blake a while to figure out that Porer's S-something and Ro's Horizon were the same place. After all, at the time he was told about it, Blake was in no position to check star charts.
KAM Writes:Why does this conquered world out on the rim have better surveilance equipment than other Federation worlds?
Maybe because it is a conquered world out on the rim; there don't seem to be many Federation officers there & they'd have to handle any disturbance quickly.
Rather foolish of Blake to step out of the mine without calling out first to let Avon know who he was.
I liked this episode, but thinking back (not so very far (0= ), Blake really shows a complete lack of tact when talking to Jenna before they teleport down. She asks why he's chosen her to go down, and he says that Avon might leave, but not without a competant pilot. In other words, he's saying that if he left Jenna on board, she'd desert him. Either that or he's saying she's a completely mindless follower of whoever gives orders, which is just as bad.
KAM, the stabiliser Cally gave Villa was 2/3 Soma and 1/3 Adrenaline.
Not a bad episode at all.
I like the fact that Blake finds time to have a shower and change his clothes before beaming back to the surface of the planet to shoot the deputy commissar.
And on the topic of commisar- seriously, do they think we are really THAT thick to not see the Nazi comparison??? I'm surprised Servalan isn't called Fuhrer.
Just how big are these mines? We only ever see a small portion- one would think they were extensive as the Federation is plundering this resource quite vehemently.
I believe this is also the first time we hear a member of the crew say "Shut Up Orac!" (although Villa did a variant previously).
Oooh yes, Orac stutters in this episode. In the cute scene with Avon when Orac isn't sure if Avon is talking to him or to himself he stutters. Ensor really went to town with that human personality....
