right and the two BBC audio plays are what the B7 universe would have been like if the reality shift had never occurred, then why would Orac bother saving the Liberator, since Orac evidently survived its destruction in the

"first"

universe as well?

That's very true, I never thought of that. I suppose the plays do contradict canon even if we're arguing for a reality shift, then. So I suppose "The Sevenfold Crown" and "The Syndeton Experiment" have to be considered, in Neil's phrase, noncanonical, because not only do they flatly contradict the show on many points, they have Orac in them, so the reality-shift argument is invalid as he would have been destroyed in the original reality?
