When I was 1st watching this, I couldn't believe what Avon seemed to be doing. I still have trouble thinking he would have chucked Vila out of the airlock. It would have been an interesting alternative to see what might have happened if Vila and Avon had come face to face. In my head, I have an image of Vila ejecting himself out the airlock, not in self sacrifice, but knowing Avon was going to do it anyway, and not wanting to give Avon the satisfaction (if that's the right word). And then Avon makes it back to Scorpio, and they all believe he murdered Vila. That's a good one...or a bad one rather... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

How would we describe Avon's demeanour/actions at the beginning of this story? Highly strung?

John Savident and Larry Noble really deserved their own series. AGREED! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I always have to chuckle at the picture quality of Egrorian's 'infallible' video system...  |

From the moment Avon N Vila step, in step, into Egrorian's place you knew there would be fun. Making the later events all the more shocking.

I wonder how this scene looks on a third-generation video tape from 1985? Probably like a sixth generation video tape. |

All those years, decades ago, we used to watch the NASA rockets launch on one of these audio-video devices Egrorian is pawning off as his Tachyon Funnel. No, just a bargain basement tv frame on wheels.

Why did Avon choose to take Vila and not one of the others? Cos he believed Vila would do his bidding without giving him too much trouble and that he had greater control over him. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

AVON: Why do you want Orac? Because Servie wants Orac. The word "ma'am"is already mentioned. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Egrogrorian is being a bit self deluded here. Does he have a plan to prevent Servalan killing him once she has everything?

Egrorian moving a portable greenhouse, a video tape holder- they put all sorts of junk on that set. Works.

Old Starkiller really suffered some brain damage after the rapid decompression that occurred when Liberator attacked Fed HQ.

Either he's willing to accept her offer - partnership - which is unlikely, or I think he's planning to get rid of her as well, and imagines he's clever enough to stay one step ahead. He doesn't know her as well as we do, does he? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Orac's sounding rather too smug when he announces they won't make it. Shouldn't it/he be worried?
