Account 5 - Carry on Up
the Rebels!
This account hugely enjoys aspects of B7 which are funny and camp, although there is also considerable enjoyment of the more poignant moments of the series. As it was summed up:
'Basically, episodes that feature a particular character, tweak the hormones, and/or different in some way to the run-of-the-mill spaceship sci-fi rank higher... And anything that raises a laugh scores well!'
This is borne out by the rankings:
+5 Bounty; Sarcophagus
+4 Aftermath; City at the Edge of the World; Sand
+3 Cygnus Alpha; Mission to Destiny; Gambit; Children of Auron
And the reasons are eclectic:
Bounty: 'Jenna's strong role.'
Sarcophagus: 'The funky alien, the exploration of the relationship between Avon and Cally (and that kiss!)'
City at the Edge of the World: 'It scores because Vila does.'
Aftermath: 'More snogging and those eyelashes.'
Gambit: 'That gown, the catfight, and lots of camping around.'
'I didn't know you had braces.'
In common with account 1, almost all of the episodes are enjoyed for different things: 'There weren't any I could say I really disliked. Some get bumped down, rather than me actively ranking them low on their own lack of merits.'
So, the final account - one that enjoys B7 on as many levels as it can possibly manage.
