Egrorian is deranged. And brilliant. And perverted. And neurotic. John Savident captures all that.

He has my great admiration!

IMHO one of the best guest performances in all of B7. It would have been easy to simply play Egrorian as a fool.

Why do we need escape velocity? Wouldn't orbital velocity suffice?

Exactly! It's totally out of character not to calculate all risks. Among the one of getting double crossed.

It's not out of character since Terminal. Avon's plans have got worse and worse since then. He's lost the plot.

It is a bit hard to actually blame Avon at first as Orac gave him the suggestion that Vila weighed 73 kilos. But he goes along with it and well, the rest is history.

Yes... and by all the other betrayals and failures he has suffered in S4

And Blake thinks he is still dealing with S2 Avon
