This is another fun episode - but I gather there are a lot of people who don't like it? Servalan's in it - what's not to like? I don't know. I've just come across mentions of it as self-evidently a bad episode, like Animals or Voice from the Past. Nah. It's very tightly plotted and played. Everyone is now on edge. Denouement is evident in it's every pore. Maybe people are put off by the dress-ups. Yes, I think it's the dress-ups they don't like. Then "they" are shallow and influenced by superficialities so ignore them. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Servalan reclining in a white fur coat, eating grapes - how typical. From her point of view, why not? Real grapes are probably something of a luxury in space. That cultured algae fruit just isn't the same. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Is Travis already working with the Andromedans at this point? Yes. He tries talking Servalan into coming on side with his "ambition", appealing to hers, but, apart from getting her ship, he shoots through when he gets no more. I think it's probably an either/or thing. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

That cultured algae fruit just isn't the same. Especially when we see that, like the north of England, there is no rain on some planets and too much on others and, hence, no fruit. She could take up eating prickly pear. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Quote I'm sure she sees that he's fed up, but she wouldn't think he would go that far. But perhaps her presence here suggests that she suspects him of something. She'd be there to use him, especially if she suspected anything. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

If only Blake and Vila had been nicer to the old Sharl . . . Agreed. Though Blake has only seen a bit of what's taking place upstairs. His vaunted caring drops away in the face of HIS ambition. Interesting tents that have dungeons... Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

There's a lot nobody told us going on underground in Gloucestershire... Didn't the Federation know about the Andromedans and erect the minefield to protect themselves from them? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Interesting tents that have dungeons... We take the tent from the nomadic phase, then the rather anachronistic dungeon from the settled phase . . . It;s all good fun.

Interesting tents that have dungeons... Ha ha ha! But they just talk about 'down below' and they're already in caves, so it's just another, lower cave, isn't it? "You're not sulking, I hope?"
