Aaaaaanyway, now am on S2. And...um...
Redemption? I approve of running around that place from The Hand of Fear with the pixie-like Thal from Genesis of the Daleks and Sheila Ruskin (who was Kassia in Keeper of Traken though I actually recognised her from Pros and had to look her up, for shame). But:
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU ALL WEARING?
Granted, Avon's gimpwear is not exactly a departure. But really, Blake, if you're going to be having fights with bits of electrical cable, you should probably opt for something a touch less parachutey? Cally looks like the Green Cross Code Woman. Vila's bananatrousers upset me. And oh, Gan, you did not really need to look more like an out-of-work Shakespearean stage actor.
I liked the bacofoil and flares in space and those weird furry parka things they had. I don't mind them looking a bit daft. I positively approve of them looking a bit daft. But THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FUGITIVES. Fugitives do not wear velvet cloaks and big pouffy sleeves of impracticalness.
Also: I was hoping for a longer wait for Darrow to cotton on to the fact that the audience like his batshit delivery to random corners of the room. It's like Jack Sparrow: the minute we're all in on the joke, it stops being funny. Oh Avon, you were so much more fun when it was by accident.
I did like that bit when Blake told them all to sit down, when they were sitting down. But it was mostly quite annoying.
Tell me it returns to the giddy heights of S1?

As for "But why" . . . well, Blake's other options are Brutish Gan, S(t)ickly Cally, Cowardly Vila and Camp Avon. I'd probably go for Jenna too. (Well, I'd probably go for VIla, but I wouldn't say no to Jenna...)
Ah well. We can't all love everyone. Maybe you'll come around.
As for Orac, it's entirely possible, although they didn't get him until episode 13, so even so, Avon and Jenna had to do each other's hair until then. Everyone cringes about Jenna's hair, but I find Cally's far more flat and offensive. Jenna's is big, but at least it looks healthy.
I shall leave you over there in your weird Jenna-loving corner, you freak. You like Adric, after all... :P
I cannot believe you're equating Jenna with Adric. What about when creepy rapist on the prison ship was like, "We don't have facilities for women crew, but I could be accomodating for you? ;););)" and she whipsers to him something probably akin to "I'd rather fuck George Bush" and he slaps her? SHE IS AWESOME. SHUT UP. And then she names the ship! And threatens to kill Avon! And refuses to leave Blake--multiple times! And she BELIEVES IN HIM when almost no one else really does and. Oh.
You'll come round. I know it.
I think I have Jenna issues. How weird when she is so bland. :(
I love S4 Avon already. He's so 'gone to seed without knowing it'. It's like his perfect fate.
Poor S4 Avon. It's utterly nuts. It's certainly an inevitable fate, though I'm not sure about "perfect." XD
OK, maybe not Avon's perfect fate, bless him. His perfect fate would be being trapped on that planet with the loopy bird who thought he was god. Inevitable though, yep :)
Ah well. At least you've got Dayna and Soolin to look forward to? Ahaha.
Saw the first few of S4 not that long ago, and obviously Soolin has Glynis Barber points, but damn her hair perturbs me. I may need to get over that. I seem to remember thinking Dayna was quite awesome when I was about 5, though.
Dayna is kickass, and has great tits too, though she too has her occasional vapid moments. I mean, the series is certainly not without many flaws. But I love it despite them. And sometimes because of them. I mean, I love that Vila becomes a depressed drunkard and Avon goes complete off the edge, but so many fans hate S4. *shrugs*
I actually don't have a problem with her hair (tres ABBA) but the bunny suits......no. Just no. At least put a tail on them or something...
