I love the very seventies decor of the base! I love it too, especially that textured wall. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Watch it - the magnetic explosives don't stick on very well.

My eyes are being very drawn to the light fittings, for some reason. |

Is that the first time we've seen blood?

Avon has the BEST lines. CB went all-out. He gave all the others some class lines too, but he spoiled PD.

The first time I saw this I really thought that Blake was dead at this point. |

The first time I saw this I really thought that Blake was dead at this point. Part of the reason why I like the ep – the uncertainties. What will happen to our heroes???? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Yes, AND IT WAS GOOD! That's a slightly worrying response. I'm hoping you mean the effect was good? But why does it never happen again (or before)? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I like that Blake can't uphold his fanaticism in the face of a real threat. |

Lurena's death always reminds me of Sheridan with the bombs in Za'ha'dum. I wonder if it was an influence? |

Another thing I really like about this ep is the direction – there are some really brilliant shots which are very stagey, juxtaposing characters, binding them while contrasting them, focussing on faces etc. Makes my little heart swell.

That's probably the best ending to an episode, I'll give you that.

Especially when two ticks later a shot from the same blaster does nothing. It was a great effect – splatter everywhere AND it's not green. I don't know why the gore was limited. Maybe FX could only afford one bucketful. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Ah! Second best ending in the series. But it's odd - because I never saw the first two series when I watched this originally, I always look forward to getting into the more familiar territory of the last two. |

That's quite an exit line for Blake! The whole episode is beautifully written. I rate Chris Boucher very highly. Watching Doctors Who that I never saw before, The Robots of Death stands out like a bright shining gem. I'd love to meet the man. His brain works in a way I admire greatly. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

OK, I, for one, am not ready to go back to RL just yet. I'm off to view the 'special features'. Have a great day, all. See you next time, I hope.

The Robots of Death is excellent. I remember it from my childhood for those gorgeous robots - I absolutely fell in love with them. But seeing it as an adult, the script is a gem too. |

But it's odd - because I never saw the first two series when I watched this originally, I always look forward to getting into the more familiar territory of the last two. I didn't see the last ep of S3 or any of S4 the first time around, back in the early 80s. Had to wait for the 20 year-old thesis to be out of my head before I could go "Now, what happened in B7?" It had been a need aching there for years. My dearly beloved got me the vids and made me a happy grrrl. But even though I hadn't seen them, they fell into place perfectly; everything made sense. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Glad you got them in the end! A time of great rejoicing, singing and dancing in the streets, and a fair amount of sobbing too, because I'd finally found something I'd been missing for years. Then I looked for that Robin Hood show that had been on, briefly, back in 1975/76, to find out who that amazing actor was who played the Sheriff of Nottingham. More rejoicing and sobs. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Yet, it's a beautiful city, so you can forgive it its foibles. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Much as I did a few years ago when I discovered HORIZON was still going - and with the same people! Lost touch for a couple of decades back there. Glad to be back. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I've just caught up with the thread - interesting comments, sorry to have missed it. I shall leave you with a Fibb Poem for this ep: We've Reached Star One. Final Act, Cliffhanger ending. Tune in next time for Aftermath! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
