So we're back to Avon proving he's stronger than a woman, stronger than pain... Sarcophagus, anyone? And the kiss - as in Sarcophagus. He enjoys this rather too much, I think. There used to be badges saying "Beware Avon's Kiss" There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I like Gunn Sar's embroidery. Me too. He's rather lovely - likes sewing and indoor games, and he and Nina love each other. All the fighting stuff is just bluster. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Says more about Ben Steed than anything else. "You were a great Seska" "Now I'm a woman" - like you can't be both? So very true. They're implying you can either be strong OR a woman, so misogynistic! |

It does seem to suggest that a woman needs a man. Difficult to know how these societies function. If the Hommiks expose girl babies, let the Seska bring them up and then capture them, that seems an awful waste of effort. |

And Jenna, Cally, Dayna and Soolin as well as several guest characters. B7 was groundbreaking for its time by having strong female characters. I just wish they hadn't hired Ben Steed to write 3 questionable episodes. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I'd like to finish by saying 'Great episode, great company' but I'll just say 'Great company'. See you next week. (I was supposed to be away next week but we've got record floods here and the event I was going was cancelled because it's under water.....) |

I like Gunn Sar and Nina, but there is too much that is misogynistic in this episode. Not one of the better ones. But nice to see everybody. Hopefully by next week I will be testing negative, and have a working fridge again! |
