Anyone else think Tarrant's hair is starting to get too big for the screen? It gets bigger and bigger as the series goes on. It did by some stage, because I read somewhere about the film crew complaining that his head was filling the monitors. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

How on earth did Caroline Holdaway get this part? She simpered appropriately. Apparently she's given up acting and does interior design now. I wonder if she'd agree to being a guest at a B7 convention? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The thing I don't like about this episode is the clumsy way that Cancer uses to kill her victims. It's far too time-consuming and too likely to go wrong. |

How come they complained about Tarrant's hair but not Soolin's?

A really good professional assassin would have a variety of means at her disposal, and would pick the most efficient. |

I do look for earrings like Servalan's MsVirn. For some reason, certain types of 70s'/80s' get-up hasn't filtered through the op-shops yet.

Definitely a spider, that - eight legs, no claws. And how does the 'crab' kill, anyway? Is the venom in its claws, and it pinches? A crab is a poor choice, as they don't have stings.

Whatever that is 'holding' Avon down would be more believeble if it wasn't so loose.

Well, Soolin had several of the best lines. I don't know why some people are so anti-Soolin.

But we've had a couple of good Soolin episodes in a row, really establishing her as a character. She's had more development in a couple of weeks than Dayna in a couple of years.

I really don't understand myself. I think she's a great foil for Avon. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
