42m: Ah, there's just this moment where Vila is hiding against a wall. He's wearing a plum coloured suit, the wall is a red ochre and there's a bright pink light. I always thought it was a dated colour palette as a kid but it's quite pleasing actually and I understand why they ran with those colours in 1979. |

The Grant-Avon, clamped-up close dialogue is wonderful.
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Where we find out that Avon HAS killed someone and was therefore a little loose with the truth when Jenna asked him way back when. Well, as I think you said at the time, it would make sense not to tell her everything. Edited by AnneArthur on 01-06-2024 10:20 |

Sorry, almost forgot - Travisina said to say 'Hi' to all at the rewatch. She's busy with the fuss around the new Tarrant thing atm...
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

47m: Wow literally a shot of Cally and Jenna being bored out of their minds on the Liberator. |

I've imagined her being as busy as I am: never able to come up for breath. I'm really looking forward to seeing her. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

BLAKE Are you going to tell me about Anna? AVON You wouldn't understand. BLAKE Wouldn't I? AVON I doubt it. I'm beginning to understand why the photocopier fandom of yesteryear read a lot into their relationship |

Well, as I think you said at the time, it would make sense not to tell her everything. That's why it's interesting to have him confessing it now, but we learn it wasn't something intentional, not the "cold blood" they were talking about at the time. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Ok, done. In a way that episode was TOO GOOD for a rewatch. The bad episodes lend themselves to commentary much more. I remember the first time I watched it thinking it was excellent (the melting ice base was a genius idea well executed) but on rewatch it passed by very quickly.

46m: AVON: Are you hurt? GRANT: It's OK it was just a bunch of polystyrene So very true! Polystyrene was a fabulous thing back in the 70s. We used to carve it (with hot wire) and do all kinds of crazy stuff in art class. No doubt imbibed one or two noxious fumes at the same time. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

But they still had to make him the clown by forgetting the directions straight after hearing them. Just in case we forgot he's supposed to be the comic relief. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I like at the start where he opens the roof and B + A look at him in amused disgust. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

But she did apologise for using me as a hotel last night, so all's well. Also she brought me my Easter Egg, which she'd forgotten last time. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Ah, that's quite an old Tarrant thing! Travisina works for Big Finish (dream job!) - she does their website stuff. Apparently it's always fairly chaotic around a new release! That makes sense! I've practically given up on the Big Finish stuff. It's a bit like flogging a dead horse. I refuse to accept their stuff as cannon. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
