How come they complained about Tarrant's hair but not Soolin's? It doesn't go sideways and therefore probably meets the aspect ratio better. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

The thing I don't like about this episode is the clumsy way that Cancer uses to kill her victims. It's far too time-consuming and too likely to go wrong. Yes, if the scuttle were faster it would be more convincing and heighten the tension. A really good professional assassin would have a variety of means at her disposal, and would pick the most efficient. |

I do look for earrings like Servalan's MsVirn. For some reason, certain types of 70s'/80s' get-up hasn't filtered through the op-shops yet.

Definitely a spider, that - eight legs, no claws. And how does the 'crab' kill, anyway? Is the venom in its claws, and it pinches? A crab is a poor choice, as they don't have stings.

Whatever that is 'holding' Avon down would be more believeble if it wasn't so loose.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's professional arrogance to use only one. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Items like that don't turn up in op-shops either, more's the pity. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Well, Soolin had several of the best lines. I don't know why some people are so anti-Soolin.

But we've had a couple of good Soolin episodes in a row, really establishing her as a character. She's had more development in a couple of weeks than Dayna in a couple of years.

Looking forward to next week's ep. Stratford Johns is excellent and Vila shows us his mettle.

I really don't understand myself. I think she's a great foil for Avon. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Anyway, probably got a full week ahead. You have a good one MsVirn. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

OK, I have guests for dinner tonight (my daughter and her friend). She wants roast lamb. I'd better get started. Have a good week, everyone. Bye. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
