I promise these won't all be from 'Rumours'. I loved this exchange in 1980
and I
still love it now. B7 punctures the hypocrisy of the good guys. Cally
demands
that people are the best they can be. Great stuff.
I'm never too sure whether Aurons and AIs are "people" and what they think about humans (this side of Epinal, anyway)
- "Thieves, killers, mercenaries, psychopaths..."
<gulp> Is he or isn't he?
Well, he can't be a mercenary because no one ever pays him for anything.
- "For what it's worth, I have always trusted you from the very
beginning".
I don't believe Blake for a moment, but I don't doubt that Blake believes
it. It's at times like these that he plays amnesia for all it's worth
- "The Federation is run by hypocrites and supported by fools. I'm glad
to be
rid of you all."
OK, Penny, you can gloat now. I'm picking this bit because I think
Croucher's
great here (in fact, I think he's great throughout 'Trial').
Me too. If they could only get rid of the half of the episode with the flea.
- "Are we fanatics?"
Actually, that whole group hug session in 'Star One' when, after two years
of
fighting side by side, it all comes down to how much they really can't
stand
each other. It's like Christmas.
It's a Miserable Life. But The Host (Angel) has a MUCH more dysfunctional family.
- "The Way Back". The whole of that too.
The WHOLE of it? You mean the bits after the first five minutes?
Of all the bits of 'Sarcophagus' I could pick, I've got to have this one.
First
of all - it's angsty as hell. Second, I'm still an old romantic when it
comes to
Avon and Cally (you don't see this so much any more in fanfic, do you?).
What I want to know is why you practically never see Blake/Cally--I mean, the one person in the Universe who actually agrees with him is his shipmate!
