Really? Blake wants to become rich? I know, it's not him. Didn't Avon think that it was strange?

Nice use of the same scenario at both ends of the series - Avon being unsurprised at finding Servalan,
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Taiellin
Not everyone understands what's going on. My former friend thought that Blake was really there. I thought that everything was obvious.

Where's the Servalan drawings, then?

Blake would need money to fund the revolution.

Do you have Jenna?


This one is still in progress.

I wasn't sure the first time I saw this - but you're right, the get-rich plan is a dead giveaway.

Yes, that's true. Still, those words are somewhat strange.

Thanks. It has a bit of smoulder to it, I think.

Thanks!

Servalan has a great voice.
 
Taiellin
Oh, that smile... Servalan is certain that she can play everyone.

Yes, you've captured the look between them perfectly.

I think the get rich stuff is so Avon has an avaricious motive to cover his true altruistic behaviour, but yes, it's not really a concern for Blake other than for the cause.

She does, doesn't she?

I think, this episode is my favourite.

Still not sure about that fabric for your frock, Servalan. Interesting, but not exactly glam.

Yes, but I wonder if Avon had some doubts because of those words.

And it's the one they use for her official Presidential portrait (that we see in Traitor).

Yes indeed - but while that works perfectly for Servalan and her understanding of Avon's character, it is too subtle for Blake, or at least for Blake as Avon knew him.
 
Taiellin
Actually, if the Liberator was in good condition and the team stayed on the ship, it would have been better. At least I think so.
We also see that Avon likes Blake, but knows perfectly well that he can't sacrifice the ship.

"You wanted to believe that Blake was still alive."

When the Feds teleported up, did the guards have bracelets? Couldn't see any, and their wrists were too thickly covered for one to fit.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Joe Dredd
There's a lot of evolution/genetics going on in this season - Auron cloning, Moloch, the Links on Terminal.
 
Taiellin
Servalan overacts when tries to act surprised.

Poor Avon. His face is too sad.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Good thinking, Servalan - forget everyone else, head for the teleport!

Did they have their glasses? It looks like the inside of a student accommodation refrigerator.

None of it particularly successful.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Taiellin
And Avon for once listens to Tarrant.
 
Joe Dredd
"Why did you smile at the end, Avon?"
"Because I found out Blake's dead! Hooray!"
 
Taiellin
I can't believe that they let him take Orac.
Oh, Vila is good. I don't particularly like him, but his last phrase on the ship is good.

It's a bit of a stretch - but so is leaving them all alive on the planet when they could get rid of that thorn in the Federation's side once and for all.

Oh, yes. Now Avon can at least do something else.

(But don't tell the Avon ladies I said so).

I like this episode but there are a few moments where the danger is explained in the dialogue rather than through the acting - "He really would have killed you!", for example.

I think he wanted to find Blake so he could give the crew back to him. "I only wanted the ship, Blake!"

Do we actually have a rewatch without any Avon ladies?
