Reactions and Reviews

This is a clever and funny look at what happens when rebels mistake Vila for Blake during a raid on a Federation outpost. As a result of the confusion, Blake is forced to masquerade as Avon and Avon as Vila. The results are hilarious. Grab a cup of coffee, sit down and enjoy this delightful one-shot, written for blakefancier's Blake fiacthon - but keep your wits about you, because you'll need them. Enjoy![1]

By it's very nature, there are times when it's a bit confusing as to who is who. not least when Blake, Avon and Vila are very good at being each other. With a bit of concentration, though, Marian doesn't make it too difficult. Although it's a funny story there are also interesting looks into their characters as they get to perceive how others see them.

There's not much I can say about this because there's not much plot (there doesn't need to be) and the characters, are technically speaking, out of character. Except that they're in character. The last line is a killer though.[2]
