The bad news is the chart and the five day moving average look awful today. The good news is, they are technically accurate but not yet revealing the actual trend. I expected to bounce up today a bit in weight, since yesterday's weigh-in came at a point where I was severely dehydrated, but that actually didn't happen. Tomorrow the biggest number will drop off the moving average, and the trend should start moving in the right direction.Mainly I just need to keep plugging along and finally chart some real progress after a couple months of backsliding. Episodes like today's really don't help, though.

Voice from the Past

(Blake's 7 Wiki Recap)

In a season where the vast majority of episodes have single-word titles, this one takes the crown for most verbose. It also wins the award for least surprising. When a character shows up about halfway through, covered in bandages and mumbling almost inaudibly, my immediate reaction was "Oh, that's Travis."

Yes, it turned out to be Travis.

The plot involved Blake being long-distance hypnotized by some telepaths, and tricked into believing some politician is going to overthrow the Federation government by revealing evidence of their Crimes Against Humanity in open court. Stuff happens, other stuff happens, the whole thing turns out to be a plot hatched by Travis and recognized a billion miles away by Servalan (and by me), roll credits.

There are three more episodes left in this season. Hopefully they will be more like Pressure Point and Countdown, and less like this one...
