Be All My Sins Remember’d
Using the device given to him by the rogue Replicator in the form of Elizabeth Weir, Rodney discovers that the hostile Replicators have ramped up their ship-building program dramatically. Daedalus and Apollo are summoned to begin tactical strikes against the Replicators’ ships, while Rodney – and his captive Wraith “assistant” – race to create a software solution to the increasing Replicator threat. But despite early successes, the two massive Earth ships prove to be ineffective when the Replicators fall back to their current base of operations. Two unlikely allies emerge – Rodney’s Wraith and Sheppard’s close and personal friend, the rogue Replicator named Laren – to help in the fight, but victory depends on Rodney creating a new Replicator of his own to act as a “super-magnet” to draw the Replicators’ nanites into an uncontrollable mass. And somewhere between Rodney creating a new, self-aware Replicator and the attack on the Replicators’ homeworld, victory has unintended consequences…

LogBook entry by Earl Green
In the wake of the Liberator’s attack on a Federation fuel refinery, and with no idea who is aboard other than Mezin, Travis is given more authority by Servalan to find the ship and protect Federation interests. But Travis’ idea of containing the threat is very different from that of his superior: Servalan wants the Liberator captured so she can use it as her personal flagship, ruling the Federation with an iron first. Travis simply wants the ship and its crew destroyed – a more effective way of dealing with the threat, and one that won’t involve the loss of men and equipment that a boarding party and a running firefight with an unknown crew armed with unknown weaponry would entail. But in Travis’ next attack on the alien ship, Liberator’s true commander is revealed – and by default, his mission can be nothing less than toppling the Federation. Aboard the Liberator, Blake has problems of his own as Avon and Vila put a plan in motion to mutiny against him, angry that they’ve effectively been branded for life as members of Blake’s revolt. Jenna quashes the mutiny just in time, and Avon and Vila are given the opportunity to leave Liberator with no questions asked…though now that their names are linked with Blake and his ship, they know there’s nowhere to run. Travis mounts a surprise attack with devastating results, but both he and Blake are surprised when new ships join the battle – alien ships, just like the Liberator. And they’ve come to recover their lost property.
Responding to an Ice Warrior ambassador’s distress call, the Doctor, Peri and Erimem wind up on a doomed ship on a crash course for the planet Peladon, a world the Doctor has visited before. The Ice Warrior’s ship breaks up as it begins to enter the atmosphere, stranding the TARDIS in orbit as the crew cabin plummets to the planet below. On Peladon, a recent tragedy has left the planet without its queen, and a young prince prepares to take the throne on the eve of his wedding to a princess from Earth. But the prince, among others, has been hearing a mysterious voice, bidding all who hear it to offer up a sacrifice of royal blood – and any royal blood, from the arriving princess to Erimem, will suffice to unlock an ancient terror similar to one that the Doctor has faced before.
