I also like how Doran is all "Hail fellow well met" but is actually nasty.

Villa being somewhat hesitant in knocking that Fed guard & then losing his teleport braclette only to find out Servalan took it. This episode is full of black humour. The exchanges between Grose and Servie are excellent as well as those between Servie and Vila. The dialogue writing is excellent. It's the storyline that begins to drag it down, and the BBQ chicken that finishes it off. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I don't mind the story, but Moloch needs to have been more scary and vile given what it's meant to represent.

Had some bronze boots not unlike those at the time – Italian, bought at a black market town up in the mountains on the boarder of Syria and Lebanon. I meant she should swap them for crepe soles.

Tarrant is doing quite well as a Blake substitute, poor planning, arrogance etc. I wish we'd seen more of them together.

Well, ultimately, Tarrant's experience with Blake shows that he doesn't do nuance too well. They would have wiped each other out if Avon hadn't got there first.

OK, that was fun. Thanks, Ben Steed, even if the props people didn't quite realise your vision for Moloch. My dog recognised the end music and leapt from fast asleep on the bed to waiting by the door with a toy in his mouth, expecting me to take him out and play. He's done too many rewatches! OK, time to seee what's going on in St James's Square, if anything. Sleep well, Obsidian! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Well, I enjoyed that. There are some daggy bits but I quite like what it says about renegade troops building their own armies. And people wonder where dictators come from. An intimate rewatch. I hope I'll be able to catch you all for next week's rewatch MsVirn, but I could be a bit busy as I fly out the following day. Will just have to see how I'm going. Will drop in for THE WORD though.

Any song written by ex-convicts wouldn't be printable, let alone broadcastable on TV. Unlikely. I think that's what they were singing in that room there. Interesting that the convicts are all men – again. Clearly the writers at this time hadn't countenanced some of the really nasty female convicts who came along around that time. They hadn't watched "Within These Walls". Or Prisoner Cell Block H

Ha! Dayna forgot to refresh her screen! It's when you get the beach ball of death on the screen that you have to worry. In case neither of you has a Mac, that's a Mac joke. I thought that was a Prisoner reference! As in Patrick McGoohan, not the aforementioned Cell Block H. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I also like how Doran is all "Hail fellow well met" but is actually nasty. He's creepy, and one of the things I hate about this ep. I think we're supposed to find him endearing and Vila-esque, but he really isn't <shudder> There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
