Good that the fake Orac doesn't come out of the blue but could already be seen in Games! That was genius! |

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

Egrogrorian is being a bit self deluded here. Does he have a plan to prevent Servalan killing him once she has everything? Not as such. 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?

Nice detail, Orac shifting place when that shuttle sets to manual.

Could be Paul's best moment as an actor, the slow, even painful change of expression as Orac states, Vila weighs 73 Kilos.

And how did Orac know about Vila's weight? That brings me to a fan fiction...

You have to give it to Avon, he ejects the tachyonn funnel without a second thought. Compary this to Jayna Cobb in Jaynestown who first threw out his buddy and only when that didn't work he ditched the booty. |

The only thing that could have made this more tragic, is if one of them had died anyway.

Character to boo - Orac. For making sure Avon focused on Vila rather than himself.

Orac is by far the most selfish character of the whole B7!

I remember seeing a trailer for Picard, where a lady addressed Picard and says, 'I know I'm safe with you.' Made me bursting out with laughter as the phrase was obviously meant completely differently as what we associate with it. |

Even after all these years and numerous rewatches...that episode still packs a punch

The *really* good episodes always get the fewest posts. That's true. It is so gripping that one holds her breath and can only watch. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Orbit has always been hard to take, even seeing it 80 or more times in my time in fandom. But it ain't nothing as compared to what is coming in two weeks. Blake! So happy Holidays, if you can manage it. And I look forward to doing it all again come January. Self-renewing, never ending B7! 'Night.

Can anybody tell who originally said "You are Always Safe with Me", or from which movie it stems?
*No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
