In the context of superluminal motions, the statistical difficulties intrinsic to the canonical jet geometry are alleviated if the relativistic flows occur on a plane screen, orthogonal to the source axis. The strongest superluminal effects should be detected when the source lies in the plane of the sky, rather than pointing at the observer. The polarization properties, the simplest deviations from the basic geometry, and the connection with other non-thermal phenomena are also indicated.
