Random B7 musings
Feb. 20th, 2010 06:04 pm1. Why are the DVD interiors so stupidly labelled? To watch 'Voice from the Past', I have to look down a list of episodes, discover that it's episode 23, and then check under the DVDs to discover which contains that episode. Why not put the titles there instead? I mind even when it's a good episode, but this is just heaping on the insults. (Mm, though, that black shirt.)
2. Why am I not enjoying season 2 as much as I used to? Why did I like the anthology style of season 1 more this time round? Is this something to do with watching all that Hartnell? Why has it never crossed my mind before that this is the BBC's first stab at serialized space opera when this explains so much? Or have I forgotten something?
3. Why, in 'Cygnus Alpha', does Avon not stash away a pile of loot during the four hours that Blake is on the planet? Blake doesn't even know it's there, never mind how much there is. The great lummox. (Having said that, it's taken twenty-odd years for it to occur to me, so I probably shouldn't be too scathing.)
