I've lost track of citations, I'm sorry... <trembling lip and wobbly eyes>
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.
Yeah, it annoys the heck out of me when they won't listen, too. No matter how many times I yell at Soolin to fire at the end of Power and take over Scorpio, thus eventually saving the lives of everyone from Blake to Zeeona, she always wastes precious time posing with her gun in her hand instead... How many chances does she need? <sob>
Not that I'm criticising the Golden One, of course. She's obviously acting for some obscure Greater Good.
Dana:
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.
And then home in time for Professor Utonium to tuck her into bed? (Dayna would make a fantastic Buttercup, come to think of it... And Servalan as Him, er, Her...)
(BTW
in canon it seems to be about as easy to find a discarded spacecraft as an empty Coke can on Earth C21.)
I think the clefairies abandoned them when they brought the moon disks to earth... Wait, I think I'm getting my fandoms confused again.
