Editor's Comments:
Winner of the costume derby for most changes is Avon, with 32,
followed by a Servalan (28) and a tied Vila and Cally, at 27 each.
Soolin had the fewest, but still wins the award for most hairstyle
changes in a single season.
I'd like to solicit other fans' nominations for the best and
worst costumes of each continuing character. What was your
favorite costume of the entire series? Which did you hate the
most? (My personal Can't-Stand-It is still Avon's bullfighter
outfit in 'Death-Watch.' Or was it that he was on his way to
football practice and needed those hideous padded shoulders to
block and tackle sandbags? In any case, yeuch.) So let me hear
from you. Meanwhile, here are my votes for best and worst
costumes, and a few other observations, just for the fun of it.
--Jean G.
My Nominations for Best & Worst Costumes (per character)
Avon: Best: A8:The silver-white 'Silver Alpha' tunic from
'Shadow'
Worst: A25: The aforementioned bullfighter costume from
'Death Watch'
Blake: Best: B2: The 'Robin Hood' look.
Worst B11: The hospital gown (he has knobby knees!)
Vila: Best: V2: The multi-colored tunic with the planet on the
back.
Worst V8: The brown plastic bug suit from 'Killer.'
Jenna: Best: J10: Blue gown w/starburst brooches.
Worst: Jenna didn't really have a worst costume!
Cally: Best: C18: The grey pantsuit with black 'flame' design.
Worst: C1: Her red combat fatigues.
Gan: Best: G2: His first season outfit with the macrame sleeves.
Worst: G1: The brown vest & shirt from 'Space Fall'/'Cygnus
Alpha.'
Tarrant: Best: TA11: The outfit in 'Death Watch.'
Worst: TA9: The red bedsheets from 'Sarcophagus.'
Dayna: Best: D1: Her white toga with blue edging from
'Aftermath.'
Worst: D11: Her blue chiffon bedsheets from 'Sarcophagus.'
Soolin: Best: SO1: The grey pantsuit with white piping.

Point.'
Worst: S13: Dayna's purple dress.
Travis: Best: T5: The green & black caped affair from 'Gambit.'
Worst: T4: The 'mummy' costume in 'Voice From the Past.'
Impossible Costume Changes:
Vila is wearing an off-white, side-buttoned 'Russian' style
costume when the crew are stranded on Terminal. In "Rescue,"
however, he's suddenly clad in his brown & white outfit from
"Ultraworld." How'd he smuggle that off the Liberator?
By packing it inside Orac?
(Mary C. Radich noticed this one:) In 'The Keeper,' Jenna
changes from her tight red leather pantsuit to the long red bridal
gown, and is whisked off planet still in the gown (though she was
wearing the slacks when Gola keeled over). The entire pantsuit is
back in 'Star One.' Maybe it folded up very very small and she
carried it back to Liberator in her pocket??? What? Medieval
gowns didn't have pockets? Well, where ELSE could she have hidden
it????
