really disturbed waiting for Jenna to be raped It was softened somewhat for me by how quickly she seemed to take charge of the situation. I got the impression that she felt pretty confident that she could handle Gola (if not his sister), particularly given how she seems to be concentrating on exploiting him to get what they came for first of all, with escape coming only second. (Vila OTOH looked so thoroughly dismayed on her behalf, I almost felt more sorry for him...)
next week is the awesome (as I recall, may be very very wrong) Star One! Awesome is how I remember it too! Looking forward to it! :-D
Mixed feelings about this one. The Goths are a bit too cartoon-y to be taken seriously (Asterix!), not to mention plot-holes ...but otoh, Jenna finally gets things to do, and both she and Vila get to shine in this one. And Travis finally gets one over on Servalan, too. (I appear to be cheering him on, this round!)
Avon's had time to think about the opportunities of Star One (somewhat belatedly, one can't help but feel) But Blake... Thinks killing millions of people is better than taking the risk of being "corrupted" by having power over them...? In which case, I think too late would be a legitimate counter-argument... :-P (Admittedly, that's really only Avon's evaluation of why he thinks Blake doesn't want to use Control. And Avon can sometimes seem... oddly naive about Blake's internal motivations, I think. So there may be more at play.)
It always makes me grin to see how Vila (initially) eludes their captors by not fighting back: he just plays along with the Goth that first grabs him (holding him by the hand!), radiating meekness

Ah, Space Goths. Is this the least plausible civilizational set up in any B7 episode? The settlers seem to take the name of the planet rather literally. Did an amateur historical reconstruction society crash land on the planet and constitute the original colonists? Or maybe, an amateur Dramatics group, given the love of showing off and grandstanding

Did an amateur historical reconstruction society crash land on the planet ...or deliberately settle it? Having briefly been part of one, I can just about see it... The ultimate reconstruction! :-) (Seriously though, this is probably the most plausible explanation available for these guys...)
the Servalan of Goth And like Servalan, the only one of the principals that is still alive at the end... Hmm.
the whole idea of Star One is pragmatically daft and the place should be got rid of True, but I think it's generally considered good practice to actually have a replacement system before blowing up the old one
