So which 'death scene' is worse, Dorian's or Piri's?

Dorian’s

I was anticipating....breathlessly. Sort of.

Somehow I can't imagine Avon making such a fuss. He'd just slump down in a heap, grinning.

I was just thinking what a shame it was that young Geoffrey died of the '80s disease. He is rather good.

Dorian’s

Agreed. He'd have made a much better foil for Avon than Tarrant.

He'd go out on one of my favourite songs: "Life's a Gamble" by Australia's own Radiators.

He goes out to silence, gunshots, and the theme tune.

I'm obviously alone in finding Dorian rather tedious. I have no desire at all to see any more of him.

NOT LISTENING...NONONO.....UNTRUE.....

At least one of those masks was straight from Dr Who.

I suppose, technically, Piri isn't dead yet.

Well, he is megalomaniacal, but when has that been a problem?

He would have been toned down had he continued. I just like Geoffrey as an actor. And I like these new, pointy sideburns.

Pointy sideburns feature on the bloke in charge of the visacast in The Hunger Games, too.

Now, did someone say that the actor briefly playing the gorgeous dead youth was someone famous?

Sigh. So much is derivative now. The Hunger Games do nothing for me.

I quite like some bits, but overall, no, it's not inspiring. The books are even worse.

I've never seen the Hunger Games. I ought to, I suppose.

I find it rather interesting that Dorian says that the first person to die was his partner. And then the partner who appears as dead is virtually half naked. All this clearly alludes to a gay relationship as opposed to a business relationship. Considering this was done in 1981 that’s very forwardthinking.

We're probably rather too old for the books. I rather envy young people who will find them exciting and inspiring, as we found Blakes 7 exciting and inspiring.

The background/build up to the whole idea is good. The actual killing games are predictable and not much fun. Snow (Donald Southerland) is a great villain.

Some of us were adults when we watched B7 originally. And we still read children's books if they are good, rather than fashionable.

Well, I suppose it's time to take up my lonely vigil again and go and feed the hens. Forgot to mention the thousands of bees also in my care, but they're mostly getting ready to hibernate for the winter. The girls chuck the male bees out - they're no use to anyone and not worth wasting food supplies on over the next few months.They make new males next year, when they need them.
Hope you have a great week, everyone. See you next time.
