Hummmm... Could it be that truly hideous -- even by the standards of the day -- kairopan-munching spidery thing? And just what is kairopan? And why would anyone care? And what would anyone do with it that would make it so valuable? Enquiring minds want to know. How did the lunar module get so far out into space? Surely, if technology had progressed to a point where extensive space travel was possible, it would have moved beyond lunar modules? It is impossible to believe that Servalan, enamoured of thinking with her computer as she was, would have been fooled by the module bluff; whatever else she may have been, she was not stupid. Jarvik was right to laugh. Moreover, I would just like to say, for the record, that I was glad they shot Jarvik and put him out of the audience's misery. I suspect the boys (and girls) down on the construction crews set up quite a few cold ones when they found out. This was the kind of man that should never have been allowed to stray outside the confines of a bodice-ripping romance novel. What an insufferable oinker! And there were as G. says the ugly oxygen masks, the tacky cardboard(?) crates...the sheer pointlessness of the entire exercise... If I hadn't already seem the previous episodes of B7 and known how good the show could be, I would have given up after this one. -- C progamme run. C programme crash. C programmer quit.

It's a bit like reading the bible - parts of it contain scenes of such mythic grandeur that they'll stay with you for years, and other bits are, well, like trying to get entertainment out of Leviticus. I have to say that I've read through the best bits (about 60%) of the Silmarillion about four times in all, and each time some of the chapters leave me feeling like I did after first watching 'Blake'.

Message-ID: Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit I have just joined and am sorry if these have been discussed in great detail many times before, but it is something that has always puzzled me ever since I was four and used to play with my toy "Corgi" Liberator (which was my favourite model but the Green glass bit at the back used to smash and the laser cannons used to bend a lot)...I had about three but all of them broke, does anybody still have one? Anyway, the questions are these: 1) Where abouts did the crew sit on the ship? 2) Was the green thing at the back part of the engines? (When I was little, I always imagined it to be part of Zen!?) 3) Did all four of the cannons fire, if all four laser type things are guns etc?
