VILA: The trouble with a genius, is you’re never quite sure what he’s up to. Vila uses this speech to distract Cally and Jenna while he takes a gun from the armoury. Is Vila trying to tell us he’s a genius… Love the irony of this. Vila's been very on-the-ball in the last few episodes. I like how he moves from being openly scared to doing brave things when needed. He's essentially voicing what they all feel – and he gets Blake to admit – but is getting in first in case he flakes. Last ep and this he doesn't at all. He seems to start out as the 'everyman' character but migrates into the thief/coward persona as the series goes on. Ends up rather more stereotyped than he started. In a way I don't mind the changes that occur because they 'fit'. Everyone goes through lots of terrifying experiences that are going to affect them in different ways. To imagine that real people would just keep popping up, week after week, and not be affected at all is fantasy. Vila uses one of his guises as a defense and then, ultimately, falls into it. Couldn't agree more. I wasn't meaning it as negative, just an observation. It's safer for him, partly because it means people don't expect much of him (like one of my cadets who managed (deliberately) to get herself into the bottom group for everything at school! Took them three years to suss her out). "You're not sulking, I hope?"
