Polytetrafluoroethylene - that's Teflon to you and me. It means nothing will stick to him! It was popularly used as an alliterative epithet for a certain British Prime Minister in the not too distant past.

While we're on the matter of language and linguistics, I'm using the noun "airlock" as a verb here. This is in accordance with a certain sci-fi show I'm spoofing!

On stylistic matters: I'm trying to make it clear that only Falmar can see "Caprica 6" - not easy to do with static scenes. If you don't see her in a panel, but she is in a subsequent panel, it's not because I've forgotten to put her there, it's because we're not getting Falmar's perspective/point-of-view. For example, she appears in the last panel in this episode because Falmar has just said that he has no idea who the humanoid Blips are, which is a lie, because he knows exactly who one of them is (well, one whole design, more than one individual!) - she is there to highlight this. If that makes any sense?

Finally, don't you think Hudson has slipped very easily into her leadership role?

Oooh, forgot to mention: this Classified Film is believed to have originated from Tranquility Base :-D
