Harriet Bazley & Betty talking about HoK:
Then in the blink of an eye Dayna is suddenly the one who is flat on the ground and being held down, and Jarvik's worldview is restored just in time for him to be menaced by a Kairopean and call for teleport to get the pair of them up to the Liberator as the plot requires.
Yeah, this scene annoys the *heck* out of me. Well, all of HoK annoys the heck out of me, really, but the fight inevitably makes me want to start yelling "Kick his ass, Dayna!" And she inevitably fails, anyway.
In my version of this episode (aka PowerPuff), the implications of my favorite moment in the script are fully played out. Just as Jarvik says "...but you're a woman," she knees him in the balls. In the revised script, she follows through with a drop-kick, teleports back herself, sorts out the occupying force (I'm not sure if she kills Servalan though--there are still several episodes to go) and then they can use the Time Squad docking maneuver to get the antique spacecraft thingie onto the Liberator. (BTW in canon it seems to be about as easy to find a discarded spacecraft as an empty Coke can on Earth C21.)
They never say what it is that Avon sees when he looks at the Sopron, do they? I rather suspect that, since you see something you need to see that's rather better...it's Blake. So, Brian the Spider and all, this might be an essential episode in the arc.
