Faust: You get close working on a bi - plane engine together, it's all that grease and gasoline fumes :)

: (b) I was almost glad to see the female leader of the Tintas killed. Stupidity such as that shouldn't be a leader.

She was trying to save her people in the only way she knew how. There were no ex - military types,like Roxton, around to lead an insurrection before. The hot headed boyfriend had the right idea, but no clue as to how to bring it off. As it stands, without Roxton, they will all probably die anyway trying to fight a corps of trained warriors.

: (c) It was a nice touch having Challenger recite Shakespeare's "...we blessed few.." speech. But the giggling from the Tintas seemed out of place. I suspect Peter McCauley did some Shakespeare before doing this show.

Whatya think ... one take.

: (d) You can tell a woman is pregnant by her eyes and her hair?

Often, she does seem to glow. There are some neat hormonal changes occurring you know. The only eye indicator I've ever heard of is the one used to tell when a woman is turned on. She can't hide it under certain lighting conditions, hence it is a dead give - a - way.

: (e) The reaction of Summerlee after Dieter fired the pistol over his shoulder at the end of the show was a very nice touch. Good acting by Michael S.

Agreed.

: Overall, it was better than "Blood Lust" and "Paradise Found", but I was a bit disappointed at the lack of cheesecake. Still, it was a good mix of action, mystery, and swordplay.

What, no S&M reflex when they zoomed in for that knife under Marguerite's chin close - up? :)
