Reactions and Reviews

A Touch of the Irish is an amusing little bit of fluff, with a standard fourth-season plot enlivened by an old friend of Vila's-- female, and presumably with good legs-- who behaves suspiciously like a leprechuan. It's a Mary Sue, but a cute Mary Sue. There's some nice snappy dialogue. Sample, from p. 3:

Vila: Would you settle for a severe reprimand? We won't do it again, honest... on my honour...

Servalan: I didn't know you had any.

Avon: Well now, Commissioner, how would you recognise it if he did? [1]
