Cally was right a long time ago - they've all been too stressed for too long.

Brilliant action on Paul's part when he realizes he only has to chuck Vila out the air lock. Chilling too. It really is a stunning performance, especially those first ten seconds after Orac's declaration, where Paul conveys so many emotions without a word of dialog. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

They could have made it jettisoning bits and pieces if Orac had just shut up. This need never have happened - so ergo, we have to blame Orac for this all.....

The worm turns? Maybe they treated Orac as a communications relay once too often?

I'll admit to not being a fan of the Lucifer series of BF books, but I'm beginning to think Paul had it right. After these events, Avon's morale compass, if he ever had one, was totally destroyed.

Well, THAT made my day, not. This is a hard episode to watch, seeing Vila as just a throw away in Avon's mind. But think I guess we have to admit, that is the real Avon- he counts more than then anyone else.

I agree, on both counts. Anyway, fantastically dramatic episode with some good acting. Thanks for the rewatch and company, hope to be here for next week! Keep warm and safe! |

Name me another television show that had the guts to do what we just saw, and what we'll see in two weeks.

I always thought he had a moral core. Blake nearly reached it. But it was broken in that moment. Shattered beyond repair. Hasta la vista, folks Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Great rewatch, folks. See you again next time, for 'How not to set up an alliance, when you don't even know how to look after your friends' with teacher Avon.

Still a very chilling episode even after all these years. But thank you for another riveting rewatch. Next week...well, I really am not looking forward to having my Xmas ruined again. Still I have a nice new shiny kitchen with tiled walls and all the painting finished...and brand new roller blinds!!! So good night from the House at the end of the Cul de Sac with me in my nice warm Snuggy hooded blanket. Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!

Well, I'm going to try and forget what I just witnessed. Try but won't. See you all next time. 'Night. And remember, it's all downhill from here, gang. Until we start with The Way Back in a few weeks.

Name me another television show that had the guts to do what we just saw, and what we'll see in two weeks. The Blake rewatch is next Wednesday, not the following Tuesday, since it's Wednesday which is December 21st. As for another TV show, few come close. Maybe "Angel" (the spin-off to Buffy). That was unexpectedly not renewed after its fifth season. The mid-season deaths of a couple of regulars was already planned, but the cancellation meant they went the whole hog in the final episode, and left the rest of the regulars either dead or facing impossible odds in the final episode. It means Angel's final season (also, by far its best season) is somewhat deadly! Vote Og.

Name me another television show that had the guts to do what we just saw, and what we'll see in two weeks. There was another TV show, over here, that did kill off a main character. And it caused the BBC night duty chappy to have to answer lots of angry fans. Unfortunately that episode was wiped...it's Doomwatch when Toby Wren (Robert Powell) was trying to defuse a bomb at the end of a pier and dropped the cutters...... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!
