Collision
Part 3 (of 5)
[Watch it (again) on ITV Player.]

Defying Gravity
1x05 Rubicon
The scheduling of this is arguably more interesting than the plot (a two-week break before the next episode, says voiceover lady, though the schedule suggests the next ep is on late-night this Saturday). That said, it was good to see Goss finally getting a dressing down from someone over what happened on Mars (or, indeed, anything).
Incidentally, it turns out the series has been cancelled (seems this was known the best part of a month ago; guess I should've paid more attention), so we'll never get to see the whole mission. Yeah, the show's a bit rubbish, but it's mainly a shame they wasted such an excellent idea.

Serves him bloody right. I urge you to read it -- the lack of sympathy you'll feel is quite astonishing, and likely quite opposite to what he expects.
