Vila's jokes are truly dreadful.

And now they've lost Tarrant. What a pity.

Brad's influence?

I like the idea of a wall with coloured glass/plastic blocks.

One of the nicer aspects of the 70s.

Those colours are 70's, for sure. I'd go for more of an ombre effect, I think.

Very convenient map, that. But I am always suspicious of people who state 'we're here' so confidently - usually they are wrong.

It's not often Tarant gets all the narrative. And he's front and centre in 'Death Watch', shortly, too. But he doesn't have Dayna as his 'straight man' there - only himself. Twice.

I’ll take 2 Tarrant’s any day of the week. ;-)

I find the literal giant brain spoils this episode for me - it just seems ridiculous, somehow.

Is that all that bothers you??

Dayna will kiss anyone.... and strangely, they don't die. Unlike the ones that kiss Avon.

Well, how long have you got? But it's the most immediately annoying thing, yes.

How probable it is that they have no information about sex, when it's something most people think about quite a lot? I think they're just voyeurs . . .

He kissed Servalan, and she's still thriving!

Personally I find the blue alien men more annoying. I’m not the slightest bit convinced by them.

I think it would have been funny if they had got the memory tubes the wrong way round.

Love seeing the Liberator wobbling along the track....

I think there's been quite a lot of speculation about that!

The trouble with making out that Vila is thick, is that he isn't, and he's shown that (to them, and to us) lots of times. Joking about his mental capacity is another thing that doesn't work for me here.

Well, there is no Blake's 7 episode without its moments, but that was a definite downturn in quality. And next week we have another rather risible alien villain. I won't be here (provided I can get the funds together, of course), but I'll hopefully be back for the much more enjoyable Death Watch.

Have a good week, everyone.
