Avon says "I'll be back." He does it again in Series D. Well before Arnie. 
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Question: if they could do the brainwashing thing, why didn't they knock Avon out as soon as he arrived and then give him the remaining Blake dreams etc. ? Or did they???

I must admit I don't quite understand what they do to Avon in this episode? It's a bit confusing They make him imagine he's seen Blake to confirm that he was right in coming to Terminal. Then they go Ha ha! He's alive. Oops, no he's not. For someone who is already stressed and strung-out it completely messes with his head. The Federation is good at head-messing. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

48m: Servalan reveals Blake was a trick created by inputting all his social media posts into ChatGPT. Avon says there's no way that would work because ChatGPT prints out bland garbage but Servalan triumphantly reveals they also drugged Avon out of his gourd so he fooled himself. As an extra little sting, Servalan reveals the primitives on the Terminal are actually the final evolutionary state of humanity. She just kinds of throws it in as an afterthought... oh well ... |

If it was a drug-induced and electronic dream, how did they give him the drugs? I still think most of it happened after he arrived on Terminal.

I agree totally with the latter. Humans have chosen being dumb and led by morons over thinking for themselves. They have so many dumb ideas and 'cults'. They're going to be back digging up roots before too long. It won't take millions of years. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

52m: The Liberator explodes, absolutely definitely killing Servalan and her lackeys. The gang watches on from Terminal, Avon even smiles at the bittersweet outcome of defeating Servalan. But there are no smiles from dodgyville, only tears

I do love her ‘broach’. I keep wanting to replicate that brooch, but can't see it closely enough to get a fix on the different layers and icicle bits. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Servalan has certainly learned a lot from Moloch - the replication machine to make her fleet of Liberators, and the experiments to see what happens to mankind in the future.

I think I am unusual in being less moved by the destruction of the Liberator here than that of Scorpio in season 4. Don't know why - perhaps the Liberator always seemed a bit too good to be true? |

If they knew (from what Zen said) that the ship was doomed, why didn't they all just teleport down before it happened, take over Servalan's base, etc etc.

He already knew he might have to sacrifice himself, that's why he didn't want the others to go down to the planet. He knew it might be trap. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
