And you're off the mark: Servalan isn't nervous, she's bored and irritable. Kasabi provides a welcome distraction.


Kasabi is such a good character, it's a shame she's with us for such a brief time. She's much more the sort of Rebel one might expect. Avalon's hair was too neat.Smile

. Yes true I was thinking just that


Really Pilot? Which is your favourite? In S2 they're all getting into their stride.

I think the reckoning with Kasabi means more to her than she is letting on.

The use of kill shots for Kasabi's team and a stun followed by drugs for her tells us that the Federation has multiple forms of attack, forms that our heroes can't begin to match.

Servalan always has the upper hand. She's loyal to no-one.

Yeah, Blake. Sometimes I can't manage more than 5 minutes in "the Zone". Too many distractions.

Travis is painfully over-confident. As is Blake. Neither of them think far enough ahead.

And planning ahead is meant to be a distinctly human characteristic. Hah! (Actually, it's not true. Lots of other species plan).

She was no further use after she'd told them what they wanted to know. Federation Intelligence already have Kasabi's whole operation under observation.

Oh, right. I used to live quite near there. So it would have been the old abbey church? I thought that it didn't look like a parish church.

It's very cool and not what you'd expect at all. Had a lovely visit there last year.

The Bloke's cousin lives nearby and they had no idea that there was a filming location so close to them. Cousin said he went into computers because of ORAC.

Good old Veron. If only she'd been a younger actress I might have believed them calling her a 'child'.

It's lovely '70s' frosted pink. Thankfully post-frosted pale blue eyeshadow.

Hmm. Time to add a new Zoom backdrop. Got the inside of the empty room, but a shot of that door with the Fed logo would be good.

Servalan's already lining up Travis's trial, isn't she. Almost as if she knows this isn't likely to work.

Indeed. When Travis says he won't fail, she's already thinking way ahead.

That's a huge studio set. Is it the one they used in Weapon (with the clonemasters)?

Yes, Travis, you're absolutely right.
You publish a load of baloney about something, even though there is no evidence for such, and away you go: the peasants will believe it every time. Why we politically astute students loved this show: it told it as it is.
