Thinking about...

...watching Horizon, where Gan deftly manoeuvres Vila into going down to the planet with him, in place of Cally!

Also, this:
Avon: ...I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.

And poor Vila has to do that terrible thing called work. I mean, how could they? Worse than that disorientating device... possibly!

But hey, Vila's naked chest is good, even if Gan gets sidelined in the episode later. As a Gan fan I am used to that, and fortunately, I'm also a Vila fan :D

Episode Thoughts: Horizon

Before I talk about Horizon, I'm going to say that my interest is mainly in Gan and Vila. I know the episode is 'of its time' and is very un-PC in the way the natives of Horizon are shown/treated. Even when I rewatched in the 80s, before being more aware of the issues myself, I hated the way Blake took charge at mealtime and organised the 'savages' - it just feels so wrong on so many levels, and that's just one instance. But I won't go into all of that. I'm sure there are others far better than me to discuss that side of 70s TV shows.
