Alternative Universe. Which means, roughly, any story that directly
contradicts what we see in the series. Examples might be killing off
characters a bit too early, or moving the entire series into the
middle ages.

I Know that I am comming to this thread a bit late, only just had time to read
my last weeks e-mails. I think you are all missing the point, they did not
explode because they were in space, they exploded because they were teleported
beyond the range of the teleport. Jenna Asked Avon in 'Cygnus Alpha';
Jenna: "Is there maximum range on this?"
Avon: "Yes, Of cause I don't know what it is thou"
Jenna: "What would happen if you teleported someone beyond the maximum range?"
Avon: "I would imagine that they would appear momentarily in space, and then
that there atoms would be scattered to the solar winds"
We see this later with Vargos, the ship was mooving away from Cygnus Alphs and
when he was teleported the co-ordinates were out of range. Ok that brings up
the question of was this a design fault in the teleport. :-)
In answer to the original question about Dayna not killing Servalan, Servalan
had her hands on the ship for some time and was able to put Jarvic down in the
correct location. The whole point about this episode is that having got her
hands on the ship she would have wanted her people to investigate the
technology. She would not have just let it go and fly around the galaxy, she
would also have had Orac off of it! key or no key.
