Can we keep the politics out of this tale of the proletariat, represented by a Man with a Cause, attempting to overthrow the rightful (ie. wealthier, better armed etc) government, who also control all the media outlets? Huh? That statement seems a bit oxymoronic. 
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Blake's had a haircut, hasn't he. One can be a revolutionary, but there is no point in being a scruffy one. I suggested once that Blake had a Samson thing going. Travisina suggested I write the fanfic. Well, it's sketched out in a notebook but got no further. Oh that sounds like fun! If you ever finish it, let me know. |

Blake's had a haircut, hasn't he. Yes, it's from the haircut point that he starts to become overbearing to the point of tyranny. An interesting theory. Does it apply to others? Cally is the only other one to have a really noticeable haircut. Later, Tarrant's hair just does a Topsy. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

The crimmos' methods seem to work, but they do seem rather too complicated. |

A few fanfics mention it as a THING, but not as an active agent. I gather it was the only way Glynnis could get more variety into her look given the limited costumes in S4, except for Servalan's, of course. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

One of them was "Where there's no sense, there's no feeling". I say it often of the young things walking around mid-Winter with their midriffs exposed. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

And the actors made a great show of heaving them over the edge. Back in high school we had loads of fun in art class making things with polystyrene. We probably poisoned ourselves silly because a lot of the shaping was done by burning it. I'll bet that's how they got the round edges on the boulders, and the streaks.

Actually, throwing bits of buddleia is a bit Lou Reed "Vicious, you hit me with a flower, You do it every hour, Baby you're so vicious". Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
