More Blake's 7! Sarcophagus this time.
At first I was wondering why Avon was suddenly in charge. Was it because he had more studs on his outfit than Tarrant did? Or maybe because he was the only one not wearing grey? Why was everyone so matchy-matchy this week, anyway? Erm, not that I am obsessed with the costumes or anything. But I do feel the need to comment on them quite often. I also wonder why Cally has been doing so well in the costume department recently. Though I must say I do like the fact that some costumes crop up more than once; the characters have a finite number of outfits each and some that they like more than others, which is nice. When I first started watching Blake's 7 I was watching Buffy at the same time and they never wore an outfit more than once in that, even when they were supposed to be penniless.
...where was I? Oh yes. I liked the argument between Avon and Tarrant, especially the fact that Avon was all "pfft, cease your witterings, curly haired one." I also find myself really liking Tarrant, which I wasn't expecting, especially when he gets a bit sarcastic. Fantastic dialogue, as usual, though if I quoted all the bits I liked we'd be here all day.
"[Vila] has a very high IQ and yet he acts like an imbecile." AHA. I had been wondering if this was trufax or just a fanon extrapolation, am glad it was the latter. Actually this episode was good all round for character stuff, was pleased to see the events of Children of Auron getting addressed. And Avon saved the day in a very Avon-y way, too.
This episode had some nice shots, too - Dayna framed in the corridor, for example, the Liberator montage with Dayna singing, very creepy and effective, and the effect of the collapsing egg thing was very good too.
And Vila did magic tricks! Heeee.
It has taken me about half an hour to write all that. Why is the library always covered in students on a Monday afternoon? It is vexing.
