Headhunter (406)

[vilakins]

I don't much like this episode, but I will say that it's a good one for Orac. The little plastic rat actually behaves quite well in this.

I agree with what he says to Avon at the very end, though it's a case of the pot calling the kettle arrogant. I also note that Tarrant appears to have helped Vila into his suit. Perhaps he was grateful for having his life saved despite his words at the time. I felt rather sorry for Vena. Why was she even in the script, except to die?

I'm not entirely sure how the robot managed to attach a human head and talk through it, but Muller wasn't a very good designer if the inhibitor unit was so easily removed--and it can't have worked properly anyway or the android would have kept its head.
