Helen, you gave me goosebumps and I'm now very sad. This is heartbreaking. I'll have to re-read the 101 uses for a Dead Tarrant on FC again to get over this bit of melancholy.

The first time Tel Varon goes to meet Blake - he shows the guard Blake's details and the guard activates a circuit - causing Blake's cell to appear where a wall used to be. It looks like the cell appeared in front of the existing wall. I was wondering if this was meant to be some form of teleportation, or just a bad attempt by the effects guys to show the dropping of a force wall. Maybe when the early episodes were written, Nation envisaged teleportation technology to be abundant in the Federation, then changed his mind during Cygnus Alpha (there is a point at the end of The Way Back, when Varon is shown dead, where Dev Tarrant orders their murders to be shown as a "transporter" accident - but this might just mean a vehicle incident). Or maybe the director got things wrong and wanted the cell and prisoner teleported in. Either way, it looks very strange and after seeing the scene twice, I'm not sure what they were trying to show. Any ideas?

Always looked like a solid wall being made transparant to me. The barrier is still there - Varon can't get into the cell. > > Maybe when the early episodes were written, Nation envisaged teleportation > technology to be abundant in the Federation, then changed his mind during > Cygnus Alpha (there is a point at the end of The Way Back, when Varon is > shown dead, where Dev Tarrant orders their murders to be shown as a > "transporter" accident - but this might just mean a vehicle incident). No, I don't think Nation was clumsy enough to use the Star Terk term in his own series to mean teleport. I think transporter was a handy generic term to avoid having to say 'car' or 'flyer' etc. Only once in the series does a character goof and say 'beam me up' but I can't recall which episode so don't know who wrote it.
