Rewatch Downunder - D7 Assassin, Saturday 12th November
Travisina
Rewatch Australia: D7 Assassin
Saturday 12th November 2022, 9.30am (UK) / 8.30pm (Australia)
(probably)

In which Avon is put up for auction, an assassin is on the loose, and Soolin gets more good lines AND saves the day.
There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
 
Obsidian
Soolin is really coming into her own. AT least Dayna and Soolin see action.

Are you joining us Travisina?

HI, OBsidian. For once, it's NOT raining here. I'll have to hope there's still enough moisture in the air to keep the sand from disrupting my communications. How are you?

I'm well, MsVirn, and dry. How about you? Not boating yet?

Shall we start?

I'm started. Whilst waiting I went and bought a B7 zine... Oops. I no longer have room for them all, that's why I need and extra room.Grin I now have a pile acting as a doorstop.

Hi mrsbookmark. How are you? Long time since we've both been here at the same time.

Good morning everyone. Waiting for an Argos delivery (new phone for my landline) which hopefully won't come during the next 50 minutes.

This episode has some good moments, especially near the beginning, but the sheer stupidity of Cancer's assasination method spoils it rather for me - so many of her victims must get away. Also the new lovesick Tarrant at his most irritating!

Hello, Mrs Bookmark - we've missed you. Hope all is well over there.

Hi Mrs Bookmark! Nice to see you.

Hi, Anne. This episode has Servalan. Therefore it has good moments. End of.

And they're into their end-of-series costumes with this episode. I'd forgotten that.

Hi Anne
I hope things are improving at your end.

I wouldn't mind the assassination method if it were a poisonous crab, rather than a spider.

Things are fine here. I wasn't free on Saturdays of late, so I missed so much.

Yes. Most of the good moments in this one involve Servalan.

The self-effacing Avon...

Are there any poisonous crabs?

It is one of the better series 4 dresses. And yes, the confusing of a crab with a spider is pretty annoying,

Those thugs look very clean. Especially their white shirts.

Yes, but the reality needn't affect the fiction. I'd have made it obviously a crab.

And they work out, too, at a time when men weren't all buff.

According to google, quite a few. Apparently spider crabs, which you get in Britain, are poisonour - but not enough to hurt humans.

Just trying to help... I'd have made it a very small crab as well, so that it could get into small crevices, like spiders do, but then the camera might not have picked it up.

Avon does have a thing for getting himself captured in order to get information. Masochistic streak? Desire to prove himself?

Season 4 is when they started all of the elaborate alien costumes.

I think it's mainly if you eat them. Needless to say, we have toxic crabs in Australia. I would have made it with a big claw that zaps you.

TALL, dark, obviously important... Servalan is TINY, it's her personality that's HUGE.

Neebrox is one of the good things about this episode.

I like the exchanges between Servalan and Verlis.

Well, he's not Blake. I think it's a case of "If you want a job well done, do it yourself".

Servalan has no idea what a Vem is, or what it's worth, and doesn't care...
