Is this the episode where we learn that Scorpio has weapons? The only weapons I'm aware of, except of the hand weapon type, are the skills of our heroes and the amazing ORAC. Avon's sharp wit? Laser sharp. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

OK that was "Games". What does everyone think? Excellent! There's a lot of very good quipping and the double-double crosses are nicely plotted. Excellent guest actors. Servie is sharp. An example of what made B7 great. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Now, where is MsVirn? She wouldn't usually miss an outing by the fair and wondrous Servalan. That's what I was wonderingz. The storm is likely to have been bad in Cumberland, so perhaps her power is out, or she is digging herself out of the snow? She doesn't say. As the email was sent from her phone, I'm assuming it was a social outing, even if just up the road to buy some bread and milk.  That seems conclusive. She would say if the power was out. |

But they escape by blasting the feldon panels on the orbiter. You're right. I wasn't thinking. There you go. What one learns. Yes. I was thinking just the other week that Scorpio was not armed - and yet I must have seen this episode a dozen times, have accepted that they blasted the crystals with their weapons, and then have promptly forgotten about them. |

An example of what made B7 great. I think that this is a first-rate episode. Good story, good guest stars, none of the regulars behaving out of character, lots of wit, everyone loses at the end. Top 10, definitely. |

It's funny because we always associate Liberator with having weapons, they were so much of a feature, and then Vila's and Dayna's role applying them. With Scorpio, we don't see that relationship. Odd. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
