History Recap / BlakesSevenS3E11Moloch

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: No, not the mouse they tried to replicate -- the MatterReplicator technology. If Servalan got her hands on it, how come she's still chasing down the Liberator in "Terminal" instead of just replicating a [[BoringButPractical fleet of starcruisers]]?

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: That a colony of three hundred people who refuse to breed with outsiders might evolve into a one-eyed chinless hook-nose dwarf is quite possible, but why would it take two million years to do so?

* AntiHero vs. ChronicHeroSyndrome:

* DidNotThinkThisThrough = VillainBall

-->'''Grose:''' [[ArmiesAreEvil The Fifth Legion always encouraged such virtues]], Madam President. They sharpen the spurs of duty.

* IfIDoNotReturn: Servalan tries this trope but Grose is not impressed, pointing out that she wouldn't have gone halfway across the galaxy for a single lost legion if her forces were in any way formidable, and thanks to the energy-mass transmuters his fleet likely outnumbers hers by now.

* {{Corpsing}}: The actors kept [[NightmareRetardant laughing in respose to Moloch]], making Creator/DeepRoy (operating the Moloch puppet) eventually do a RageQuit as he was still in pain from a broken collarbone he received doing stuntwork for "Terminal".

* BrainUploading: Tarrant is shot with a StunGun which also copies his pattern. Grose and Lector plan to use his skills as an AcePilot to create automated spaceships, enabling his army of ex-cons to command them.

* AffablyEvil: Doran is the [[PsychoticManchild friendliest serial rapist]] you could ever meet.

* ButtMonkey: Vila gets teleported to the wrong place, befriended by a PsychoticManchild, drafted into a renegade army, threatened by Tarrant, beaten up by a thug, and has his gun and teleport bracelet stolen by Servalan.

* NoEndorHolocaust: The Liberator flies off leaving the Sardoans with a bunch of psychotic ex-cons and {{Dangerous Deserter}}s, while Servalan is prowling above eager to get her FemmeFatalons on their replicator technology. Vila brushes this off by saying the Sardoans deserve it for being a stuck-up lot. [[InformedAttribute Given that the only Sardoan he met]] was a beautiful woman who gave her life to rescue his friends, that's rather ungrateful.

** Avon points out that if Grose wanted to torture him for sadistic pleasure, he'd be doing it already. This means that he wants information but can't trust Moloch to get it by BrainUploading.

* ComedicSociopathy
-->'''Doran:''' My problem was always women.
-->'''Vila:''' You like them?
-->'''Doran:''' No.

* StealthInSpace: Servalan flies off into the [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Outer Darkness]] and disappears. Turns out Sardos has an InvisibilityCloak so you can only discover it by crashing into it. [[ShaggySearchTechnique Which the Fifth Legion did]] while in hot pursuit of the Andromedans.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Vila describes the Sardosans as a stuck-up lot [[LonersAreFreaks because they preferred to isolate themselves]]. As the first spaceship that discovers their planet carries a force of brutal soldiers who steal their technology and rape their women, it's hard to blame them.

** Grose has the MasterComputer running everything thanks to his ill-educated thugs. Now Moloch is witholding information and is capable of defending itself.
