Y'know, I hate the expression "MY FEELS" but I can't hate it that much because I know exactly what it means. As in, I started listening to B7 at work while doing tedious data entry, and I forgot how amazing Pressure Point was and I had to take out my headphones for a moment because I had the aforementioned feels and quite literally couldn't go on
as if this scene isn't rich enough, there's BAMF Kasabi and holy cow Servalan in a hat and Gan and oh my god
WHY DID I STOP THE REWATCHES???
Like I mean... THIS SCENE. Blake starts off with one of his biggest most assholish bossy sneaky manouvres ("oh surprise, I've returned us to Earth to make an attack") and then once he's convinced the rest, goes to convince Avon. He anticipates the verbal fight but Avon comes out with the most surprising placid agreement, and you think that they're finally acting like a proper team and coming together, but even Blake knows him better than we do;
BLAKE: You better start getting kitted up. Do you want to tell me why? AVON: I like the challenge. BLAKE: You don't want to tell me why. (<-- this delivery is perfect)
And then after the most placid co-operation comes the most vicious sting from Avon, not only separating himself from Blake now and in the future, and ideologically too, but the whole interaction is laced with so many different meanings and has the loveliest saddest ending... "There's no hurry." And you think that maybe it's all Avon's bravado, and Blake knows it's Avon's bravado and when you know their whole story it's just... so...
full of feels emotion.
It is so damned Shakespearean and more perfect than any of all the other yin-yang duos on television and they can somehow do it so well in goose-turd green leather and a lobster suit.
I mean.... how could you even remake this
