Having more-or-less left the Lyst a few weeks ago because I was too stressed out to deal with some of the stuff that was going on, may I say how utterly, utterly wonderful it is to come back and see all these great posts reminding me of just why it is I love this show so very much?

I'm not going to do my own top-twenty list, because it would just duplicate stuff other people have already included on theirs, but I just thought I'd mention two more great moments that I don't think I've seen anybody else bring up yet:

* When Blake refuses to kill Travis in "Duel," and Avon shakes his head with that indulgent, amused, "I *knew* it!" expression on his face.

* When Anna's men come for Servalan, and she shakes their hands off her. I love the sense of dignity she exudes there, and the feeling that, even in these circumstances, she is still in control of herself and the situation. One of the all-time best Servalan moments.
