After taking a pasting in Space from The Federation forces, Blake receives a summons from Travis to visit the planet Exbar, the reason, Inga.
Series two has generally been of a very high content, and whilst Hostage isn't perhaps up there with Pressure Point and Killer, it's still a very good watch.
Finally The Liberator gets a bit of a battle, I've spent years wondering why The Federation didn't just go after The Liberator with numbers, this one explains the lack of logic by The Federation.
As always the scenes of Servalan in her Office are terrific, what an actress with an intense charisma, and so incredibly beautiful. Great also to see Kevin Stoney, sci fi suited him very well.
I really like the design of The Mutoids, if Dr Who had ever brought The Drahvin back from Galaxy 4, this is pretty much how I'd expected them to be. The crimos are great also, very Mad Maxesque.
I may have slightly more regard for this episode than some of the reviewers here, I enjoyed it quite a lot. Far from perfect, the main faults here, firstly Avon's sudden willingness to help Blake seems slightly odd, secondly I found Inga a little predictable, and finally, perhaps the biggest flaw, I thought Travis was a little too cartoon like, he looks impressive, but Greif had more subtlety in his villainy.
8/10.
