he didn't kiss her

Confusingly, Soolin wins the shoot-out against herself.

Soolin's turning out to be quite an asset, isn't she?

Everyone plays games.

Confusingly, Soolin wins the shoot-out against herself.

Yes very confusing, you would think she would be at least as good as herself! But she does lose in a shoot out against herself too, so it kind of evens out. :-/

Those guns must have been on sale at Spacemart on Rainbow Friday. Can't imagine Bayban bothering to pay for his, though.

Hi dodgyville. Good week?

Mixed bag. A bit of end-of-year tiredness creeping in at work unfortunately! How are you?

1m: Orac and Avon reveal "feldon"(?) is a material that is extremely powerful and the Federation wants it.

Stratford Johns. Such a good actor and he does this role brilliantly.

YES! Something I've gotten out of these weekly rewatches with you all is all the potential recruits to the gang that never where. Flawed people who easily could've been scooped up by Blake. Belkov is one of those characters. Imagine if he had been on the London instead of say, Avon.

Belkov is far less of a team player.

8m: Avon's mole inside the Federation is in danger and gets teleported to the Scorpio.

I still don't understand the Scorpio. It has no functional difference to the Liberator. It even rather inexplicably has a teleport!

They all start off as selfish crooks. Belkov would've come round. Teaching Zen to play games, gambling with Vila, trying to woo Jenna.

Morning/evening everyone! Late as usual, I'm afraid - too long cowering under the duvet. If I'd got up at about 7 it would have been beautiful, I think - lots of gently falling snow - but the weather is warming up and the snow has turned to rain. A perfect day for staying in and watching Blake's 7.

How about Gerren? How would a geologist work in our team?

14m: Garren brokers a zoom call with Belkov. It's thieves dealing with thieves.

This is a strong episode and I think it is partly because every faction in this story is feeling the pressure. It's sort of which rat can escape the sinking ship.

Hi AnneA. Good week? I saw lovely videos of snow falling in Lyme Regis the other day. Up where you are it definitely sounds like a day to stay in bed and watch B7.

He'd be useful. Again, he might find himself doing more exercise than even a field scientist like him is used to.

The guests are top actors and do their jobs well. It's a nicely twisty tale.

This, in my mind, is where series 4 really picks up. As you say, a nicely twisty tale, and well executed by everybody. Definitely A if not A+.

Mixed. Two days' supply teaching, so some money coming in, finally. But I learned that a research project I was part of has not been funded, which is a big blow. You?

Yes, although I do think the previous episode Assassin has a lot of good stuff going on... but it all clicks here
