Madam President, Commander, Commissioner Servalan

If they ever do make a remake of Blake's 7, I urge you all to watch the original, especially for the incomparably evil and sexy Servalan - fashion icon, drama queen, evil empress - as perfidious as a snake, ruthless, murderous, and supremely ambitious.

God Avon and Servalan really take the classic "mortal enemies with obvious sexual tension" to another level. They kinda hate each other but have undeniable chemistry and similarities in their approach. He envies her status and influence, her protection from consequences....her freedom. Her casual ruthlessness that despite his best efforts his heart will not allow. She can never betray him bc he would never be so naive as to think she'd actually keep her word. So much simpler than his real friends. He has a clear penchant for dangerous women and she is exploiting it for all it's worth. Nothing is more tantalising to her than someone who understands her schemes and could be an asset to her but refuses. Who is almost tempted whenever they meet but keeps rejecting her for a rebel hero instead. They are toying with each other's lives and they want to win but they're also enjoying the game too much to end it too fast. They're unhinged and obsessive enough individually but put together they are feral. They scare me and I want to study whatever is going on with them under a microscope.

Rewatching B7 and I just find this scene very gender euphoria for my headcanon nonbinary Avon. Vila is affirming to him that he has never thought of Avon as a woman, just reminding me of my recent chat with my cis friend in the bar, where she was like, "You know you could have a free drink two nights of the week, like you can be a man for man night and a woman for woman night. Same energy lol
