Servalan & co. leave the ship without protective suits?

Dayna's just been kissed by a bullet. In a first season episode, Bounty, it was implied that projectile weapons were rather rare & they didn't use the term bullet to describe the projectile.

Avon brushes sand off the console & doesn't think it odd???

So much for my theory that the Servalan in Terminal was an android. Servalan explains her escape from Liberator in this ep.

Earlier it was said that Servalan's ship was half a mile from the base, but toward the end it is said that it will take Servalan an hour to get back to the ship.

Where did Servalan teleport to? Did she float off in part of the wreckage containing the teleport bay to a nearby planet? Of course she could have used an escape capsule & lied.

Ugh. Sorry, but I cringe at those lines. A good example of bad writing is trying to twist a cliche. And asking 'Where to?' doesn't really make any sense unless you're setting up that specific reply. Plus, earlier in the story, Servalan is talking about how unique she is.

Okay. People just die, no symptoms, they just die, we're told. Some quickly, some very slowly. They just get sick and die. Now wouldn't dying slowly entail symtoms? How can someone be sick and not have any symptoms? Wouldn't a symptomless death by virus mean someone's going about ther thing and then suddenly die for no apparent reason?

Life support is on, so someone must still be alive, Servalan reasons. But the last known people are believed to have died by the virus, so I doubt he would have said, 'Well, seeing as how I'm about to die, I might as well turn off the life support and save the Federation some heating bills.'

The exterior sets look like colour versions of Doctor Who's Web Planet with their knee-high horizons.

Servalan pronounces 'dangerous' with a hard /g/, as in 'go,' (sounding somewhat like 'gangrenous') yet elsewhere in this episode she pronounces 'danger' with the /j/ sound.

I've never heard 'dangerous' pronounced this way. Is this a natural way for some people to pronounce it, or is it a fluff that made the cut?

/i{Earlier it was said that Servalan's ship was half a mile from the base, but toward the end it is said that it will take Servalan an hour to get back to the ship.-KAM}

Actually the ship was MEANT to land half a mile from the base and instead landed FIVE miles from the base which makes her statement a little more accurate.

I personally HATE this episode with a passion. The cliched dialogue and the easy escape. In fact pretty much the entire season up to the last episode is Avon and Co go after something and lose.

Actually, that describes the last episode very well too.
