Your thoughts on this episode....


Holding himself responsible for Gan's death, after Gan was killed by Travis at the Central Control computer complex on Earth. Blake decides to dessert the crew and teleports to the surface of a volcanic planet, where he finds he is not alone. Travis is standing trial at Federation HQ for the massacre of innocent people. Travis's trial is Serverlan's cover up of the incident at the Central Control computer complex.

Another great episode. Full of rich Chris Boucher dialogue.

Avon seems to come across as the only man wise to Blake's manipulative nature, while the others remain as dumb as ever.

I liked the living planet subplot too and thought that the Zil creature was nicely played by the actress in question.

This and Pressure Point make for a great double barrel of quality episodes.

Lovely Avon quotes too.....

"So that is what we have got to decide, is it?"

"Welcome back to reality Jenna." etc.

Brian Croucher gives a tour de force as Travis and I suspect that Stephen Greif would have been a lot quieter and underplayed when giving his defence, but the shouting works for Croucher's Travis i.m.o.

Another great episode.
