Betty mentioned the shadow scene with Avon's 'Next please.', and contrasted it as more chilling than the plaxton incident in star drive. Initially I thought there was no contest. The Plaxton scene is worse. Poor old Dr Plaxton was vapourised without a second thought. 'We can outrun that bolt, either way she's dead.' Not even a show of regret or a posthumous thankyou from Avon. Justifiable homocide? The ends justified the means and the ends was life. so the faceless federation guards then. Thats just it, they were faceless and part of the Federation. the enemy. It seems justified to wack off a few to ensure the mission wasn't compromised. They were "just" guards after all, they're paid for that kind of thing. (like tarrant in powerplay and kleggs men) Then I thought...well hold on. That scene in Austin Powers...the guard flattened by the steam roller...and the aftermath. tut tut. Nayte.
