Replying to Wendy and Neil:
No, actually. Firstly, if it's anyone's rocket, it's hers, not his.
No, it's not hers, it's one she's looking after.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law...
Anyway, even if it is hers, it obviously takes a
man
to push the right buttons.
It takes *someone* to push the right buttons.
It certainly could have been Jenna. Wouldn't have been Servalan though...she's not much on altruism and she might have broken a nail.
If it was Blake in the original, then the bit about responsibilities and learning leadership skills would be less of an issue, cause he's already the leader.
"How do you demonstrate the death of a friend to a man who hasn't got one?"?
Depends on how you read it. Perpetuation of the species is via the brood units on the rocket, not through Meegat (who is effectively placed in the position of non-contributive onlooker). If we're going to use sexual metaphors, it might be more accurate to say that she just stands there and watches Avon have one off the wrist.
That's Entertainment!
She waits, virginal, dressed in diaphanous robes,
for
this bloke to come along and fulfil her. What part
of
this *isn't* a sexual metaphor?
Too bad she couldn't borrow Kerrill's gunfighter suit.
I often wonder about that. And why Blake gets villified solely on his more questionable actions, with his better points being ignored.
One interpretation of S4: Vila gets Blakeified... -(Y)
