That was a fun listen. The framing device was not what I expected at all. But I guess that was a reasonable way to do it. {Spoiler}I was a little surprised/confused by the part where Avalon was given access to being able to give Zen orders. As I recall, in the TV series, things like that generally didn't happen for people who appeared on the show for an episode or two, whether they were considered allies or not, and I don't remember anything like that happening with Avalon, either.
But maybe that was something that happened just for this series? In the first episode, they didn't really make it crystal clear that Avalon was given the access to give Zen orders, but in the second episode, apparently she could. The interviews and reminisces were fun to listen to. {Spoiler} Maybe when they took Avalon to her next resistance cell after “Project Avalon” they had a few adventures/run ins with the Federation and so gave her command access after her lack of it endangered the crew?

I guess that's possible. Seemed like an implausible device, to me.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

IIRC it was a Series C thing where Tarrant and Dayna were introduced to Zen and their voice patterns were recorded as members of the crew. Then, after Harvest of Kairos, Servalan's voice pattern was erased. I can see it being an idea that Avon had after the events of Power Play with the ship possibly falling into enemy hands, especially with such a small crew as they always had that he might introduce a security element into play that only people who had authorisation to be on the ship would be able to give it orders. As Avalon had traveled with the crew prior to that he might have kept her voice pattern.
