For some reason that episode always seems superficial, not that I think it's deep, but it makes me worry that I'm missing things. Maybe they're just not there? I think it wasn't great to begin with, and has been messed around so much that it really has very little going for it. I like the Og monsters, but that's about all, for me. |

I think that's probably the low point of series 4. A couple more mediocre episodes and then the last brilliant half dozen. Yeah, don't know where it went there. Some of the repartee with Vila was good, but it seemed to lose focus somehow. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Definitely not one of the better eps. But Servalan looks good, and delivers her lines perfectly, however unlikely they may be.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Anyway, thanks for the rewatch. I think that, if I keep going, I should just get the book ready on time. Back to work! |

I don't think it was messed around with enough! The script is a mess. Maybe Chris Boucher was on hols. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

So next it's one of my least favourites. No Servalan, for one thing, and a stupid 'monster' that clearly has room for a head inside its stupid costume. The magnetic mines make their second appearance, too. Always fun. Let's hope the props people have improved their sticking ability.

She holds up her end quite admirably, even though it's plain that Jacs thought it was drivel. She looks the part and says the lines as convincingly as possible. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

But I am getting there. Be sure to take some breaks, though. We look forward to hearing about it next time. Mxx Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Yes, that robot is very unconvincing, and the whole 'killer robot' thing unoriginal. |

I think that's exactly what attracted me to her in the first place. Such a great actress. How can anyone say the scripts they gave her and make it believable!? Behold the mutant shall wither!!! But she manages it effortlessly, and clearly enjoys herself doing it. Edited by M1795537OCVirn on 28-10-2023 10:33 "You're not sulking, I hope?"

That's the only bit I don't like really, the silly android that looks like Alan Rickman doing Severus Snape. Can we make a game called "ORAC! ORAC!"? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I'm already working on having another B7 game ready in time for Steventon. Joe's been giving me some good ideas! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

OK, I'm off to start enjoying having the house to myself. Hope you have a good week, Obsidian! Take care.

I'm already working on having another B7 game ready in time for Steventon. Joe's been giving me some good ideas! Don't know. I'll let the idea fester in the back of my brain. Haven't had much time lately for things other than jewellery, but I'll let you know if something surfaces. I'm dying to get time to do other things for once. Glad Joe is helping, though. I have some more Crocodile stuff scanned to add to that thread. Maybe you could update that lead once I upload it. See you next time. Mxx Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
