Helen suggested: <20. Blake and Avon laughing about the intelligent flea (with snide glances referring over to Vila). It was forced, unfunny, and out of place.>

*All* the would-be chummy lets-share-a-laugh scenes are dire: this one, Breakdown, and Children of Auron (the worst IMO). OTOH, somehow it fits that our ironic doom-n-gloom saga can't do sitcom moments :-)
