Zeeona's hair gets a sideswipe, (as do most other things), in Hyperdrive (coming soon to non-B7 rewatches) as Levya's weird head topiary.


Can't say I know it. But one has to have lived through it to appreciate the BIG HAIR.

He's been on trips to other planets to experience the Northern Darks.

It suggests that, although he's the President, he is not originally from Betafarl. In my headcanon, he's an Amagon pirate who invaded and took over the planet.

Wrong ethnicity, but one must wonder about the pink hair. Maybe it's like ancient Egyptian royal and aristocratic wig-wearing; his off-siders don't have it. He's also not really fierce enough to be an Amagon. Too wishy-washy by far.

Those two together works well in terms of strategy etc, but never a romantic relationship. At least, not until they've been through a lot more together, and that's not going to happen, is it?

They'd make very good partners in a Starsky and Hutch (dare I say Demsey and Makepeace?) style.

What had GB done before B7? Did Paul teach her everything she knows about partnerships?

I can’t understand why people don’t like Blake, each to their own, I guess.

The action on the base is quite scary, especially with Vila losing it and Tarrant getting nasty at him.

I think you know which mine is. I don't dislike the rest of them, it's just that JP outclasses the lot of them. And she knows it.

I don't agree with how Blake does things, but as a character he's exactly what he's meant to be and well acted.

Tarrant has nearly always been nasty to him He didn't know the VIla we saw before Tarrant turned up.

They're both frightened. What I think is interesting is that Zeeona is sidelined - when the chips are down, Tarrant belongs with his crewmates, not with her. I think that's part of why she killes herself.

Sacrificial suicide? I always thought it was a stupid accident, the sort of thing anyone might do (if they hadn't been trained to suit discipline from earliest childhood, of course).

Why does Zeeona have to do anything on the base when they’re just gonna blow it up an abandoned it anyway.

But she has been. And Avon knows what she's going to do - he wouldn't if it was mere stupidity.

Now we know why she had red hair, so we could tell which dead person is her. LOL

Well, that is how I see a lot of what happens as this series progresses: people being frightened and having been so for a long time, suffering from multiple traumas. The different personalities respond differently. Complex Post-Traumatic Syndrome.

I mean, it's not as if those gloves are sealed in. A thing like that couldn't have stopped anything airborne.
