Observations: One Moment Of Humanity

by Martin Daoust with some contributions thanks to Thomas

The Alphans are frozen...

Still frozen... Koenig's left arm is at his side.

Still frozen, but Kate (Sarah Bullen) has moved much closer to Koenig. Koenig's left hand rests on the desk.

Not quite frozen 1: as Zamara turns from her, Maya blinks. Thanks to Thomas.

Not quite frozen 2: Helena and Tony's positions are slightly different between shots- in longer shots, their heads are turned more to each other, with Helena looking down slightly; in close up their heads are closer and look more sideways.

Not quite frozen 3: Alan is also different in close-up- his mouth is more open, his hand higher (as is the shadow of his hand on his chest).

		Cutting from a long shot of the Vegan table to Tony, a bowl has appeared in front of him and the Vegans have moved close behind him.
	It is difficult to see how Helena can successfully hide behind a Command Center desk and be unnoticed by Tony. Thanks to Thomas.
	Tony's attempt at concealment isn't ideal: his forearm and arm are exposed.
Koenig's quarters in this episode.	Koenig's quarters in The Lambda Factor. He has moved.
	Maya returns as Zarl is about to kiss Helena. But Zarl, Helena and Zamara are on the entrance steps. Wouldn't they notice a parrot flying overhead? How come no one noticed Maya was missing?
	Among the Vegans is Laraine Humphrys, who normally plays an Alphan (named Karen in The Taybor). She is (we think) the brunette between Zarl and Tony.
	Here's another Alphan. Actress is unknown.
	Two shots after 16 removes her mask... we see 16, still standing masked by the steps. We have also seen 20 remove her mask, and she is still visible masked.

Three consecutive shots in the Recreation Centre as Zamara views the plays. The reaction shot of Maya and Alan shows them closer together than the long shots (they then move together and the shot appears again in the correct continuity) Thanks to Thomas.

Not quite frozen 4: seen in foreground, several of the frozen androids sway slightly. The position of the girl seen at the start of the epilogue is different to when she was frozen at the end of act 4, and the other androids have moved entirely out of shot. Thanks to Thomas.
