From the moment Avon N Vila step, in step, into Egrorian's place you knew there would be fun. Making the later events all the more shocking.

I always have to chuckle at the picture quality of Egrorian's 'infallible' video system...  Looks like a third-generation video tape of B7 from 1985! We were all desperate to have our own copies! I wonder how this scene looks on a third-generation video tape from 1985? Probably like a sixth generation video tape. |

And Chekov's pistol is placed for the finale. So is the little machine there to push the bit of neutron star out of the airlock. Resist the Host

Actually, the tachyon funnel looks like a third-generation video tape of B7 from 1985! . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

All those years, decades ago, we used to watch the NASA rockets launch on one of these audio-video devices Egrorian is pawning off as his Tachyon Funnel. No, just a bargain basement tv frame on wheels.

Why did Avon choose to take Vila and not one of the others? Cos he believed Vila would do his bidding without giving him too much trouble and that he had greater control over him. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

AVON: Why do you want Orac? Because Servie wants Orac. The word "ma'am"is already mentioned. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Egrogrorian is being a bit self deluded here. Does he have a plan to prevent Servalan killing him once she has everything?

Egrorian moving a portable greenhouse, a video tape holder- they put all sorts of junk on that set. Works.

Old Starkiller really suffered some brain damage after the rapid decompression that occurred when Liberator attacked Fed HQ.

Either he's willing to accept her offer - partnership - which is unlikely, or I think he's planning to get rid of her as well, and imagines he's clever enough to stay one step ahead. He doesn't know her as well as we do, does he? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Orac's sounding rather too smug when he announces they won't make it. Shouldn't it/he be worried?

Could be Paul's best moment as an actor, the slow, even painful change of expression as Orac states, Vila weighs 73 Kilos.

You have to give it to Avon, he ejects the tachyonn funnel without a second thought. Compary this to Jayna Cobb in Jaynestown who first threw out his buddy and only when that didn't work he ditched the booty. |
