Really? Blake wants to become rich? I know, it's not him. Didn't Avon think that it was strange? |

Nice use of the same scenario at both ends of the series - Avon being unsurprised at finding Servalan,
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Not everyone understands what's going on. My former friend thought that Blake was really there. I thought that everything was obvious. |

Do you have Jenna? This one is still in progress.  |

Yes, you've captured the look between them perfectly. |

I wasn't sure the first time I saw this - but you're right, the get-rich plan is a dead giveaway. I think the get rich stuff is so Avon has an avaricious motive to cover his true altruistic behaviour, but yes, it's not really a concern for Blake other than for the cause. |

Still not sure about that fabric for your frock, Servalan. Interesting, but not exactly glam.

Yes indeed - but while that works perfectly for Servalan and her understanding of Avon's character, it is too subtle for Blake, or at least for Blake as Avon knew him. |

Actually, if the Liberator was in good condition and the team stayed on the ship, it would have been better. At least I think so. We also see that Avon likes Blake, but knows perfectly well that he can't sacrifice the ship. |

When the Feds teleported up, did the guards have bracelets? Couldn't see any, and their wrists were too thickly covered for one to fit.

There's a lot of evolution/genetics going on in this season - Auron cloning, Moloch, the Links on Terminal. |

Servalan overacts when tries to act surprised.

Good thinking, Servalan - forget everyone else, head for the teleport!

When the Feds teleported up, did the guards have bracelets? Did they have their glasses? It looks like the inside of a student accommodation refrigerator. |

"Why did you smile at the end, Avon?" "Because I found out Blake's dead! Hooray!" |

I can't believe that they let him take Orac. Oh, Vila is good. I don't particularly like him, but his last phrase on the ship is good. |

I can't believe that they let him take Orac. It's a bit of a stretch - but so is leaving them all alive on the planet when they could get rid of that thorn in the Federation's side once and for all. |

Servalan overacts when tries to act surprised. I like this episode but there are a few moments where the danger is explained in the dialogue rather than through the acting - "He really would have killed you!", for example. |
