What I think I liked so much about this particular episode is that Vila is the central character and comes out with some exceptional one liners.

Tarrant had not been with the crew long at this point, and I think he may have felt Vila wasn't pulling his weight in the crew. Vila did seem to have an allergy to work of any kind and the Liberator was in a difficult situation without a working weapons system. I think Tarrant was frustrated that no one else was trying to do anything about it or even seemed to be concerned. As for good Vila episodes, he has some good moments in "Seek-Locate-Destroy" and "Terminal." I also recommend "Gambit" and "Orbit." We can see some of his darker side in "Spacefall," "Children of Auron," and "Gold." We can see some of his weaknesses in "Hostage" and "Shadow." I think of all the characters, he and Avon got the most development on screen.

The following list may not be complete: Pink Floyd (1): Brilliantly bizarre guitarist/songwriter Syd Barrett and his backing musicians. Pink Floyd (2): Sometimes interesting psychedelic rock band of the late 60s / early 70s. Pink Floyd (3): Massively popular global conceptual rock band headed by songwriter Roger Waters. Pink Floyd (4): Session band best known for their work on the Roger Waters solo album "The Final Cut". Pink Floyd (5): Tribute band to Pink Floyd (3). I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Tarrant becomes tetchy rather easily in the third series (down, Carol, down ). But, because "City" is on my list of episodes still to be seen, I have no idea if there are any indications that the rest of the crew have other priorities. They could still outrun the opposition, so long as they had sufficient notice. It might have been the next thing on Avon's list (or Dayna's, if it comes to that), but Tarrant's military training may have made him feel naked, so to speak, without some sort of fully functioning weaponry on call. >I also recommend "Gambit" and "Orbit". Same here, although the bit in the latter where Elmer Awon goes huntin' for Wilas makes me want to kick our old friend Kerr from here to the Arctic Circle, and that's a long way.
