New frame captures
by Lisa Williams 11 Mar '01

11 Mar '01

I've just uploaded the B7 frame captures which will be available for the next five weeks. The episodes on display now are "Seek-Locate-Destroy" and "Death-Watch". The set of 154 images from "Seek-Locate-Destroy" is new to the library. This is also the first episode I've done which features Travis 1, and of course, it marked the first appearance in the show for him and for Servalan, who looks *awfully* young here. The B7 frame capture library can be found at: http://framecaplib.com/b7lib.html . - Lisa -- Lisa Williams: lcw(a)dallas.net or lwilliams(a)raytheon.com Lisa's Video Frame Capture Library: http://framecaplib.com/ From Eroica With Love: http://eroicafans.org/

OK, so who else was sad enough to spot the B7 reference? At the start during the Robocop-style robot testing sequence, Orac and Zen were mentioned in the command sequence (along with 7 Zark 7 and Bertha). Sometimes you just have to pause the video.... Louise

Since we don't see them again, I'd guess the experiment was largely a failure. This could have been just because one man in possession of one still managed to become a high profile rebel/terrorist or it could have been more practical problems (if we assume Gan's normal personality has been largely unchanged by his implant, then he's an unusually nice and easy going guy - not the target audience for violence control. If this is the case, even people just falling into the 'normal' range of violent impulses may have suffered severe mental and personality disturbance [sure, you wouldn't think it would work that way, but that's what throws a left curve in a lot of experiments - the unanticipated side effects]).

Yeah, but if you put together the jigsaw and then you find it looks nothing like what's on the box, you're going to wonder why, aren't you :)? Your jigsaw might be valid, beautiful, and well-constructed-- but if the picture on the box is different from the one in your hand, then either the jigsaw's been in the wrong box or you've put it together in a way that's more like modern art than like an ordinary square jigsaw :).

That is subtle stuff, and it is possible for different people to look at the same examples and come away with different impressions of just what's going on.

Somehow everybody fails to notice that Travis' face and > accent change from one year to the next. Actually, that's an interesting point, and it can certainly make "Approach #2" kind of a challenge. The disasters and diction don't bother me that much, but I do find the Travis thing highly annoying... :) I think "Approach #2" tends to chalk those things up to annoying flaws which are best downplayed if they can't be internally explained. -- Betty Ragan ** bragan(a)nrao.edu ** http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~bragan Not speaking for my employers, officially or otherwise.

B7 webring at blakes7.org.....
by Peter Borg (Lysator) 10 Mar '01

10 Mar '01

.....is now open for business again! The Webring at blakes7.org has been down for a while, thanks to very sudden removal of hosting, but I've managed to get the site back up and running (this took a partial re-write as all the script code was on the original server and the system owner just removed it without telling me rather than give me a copy - no backup either). I've also trawled through all 102 membership entries, and it's down to 16 members that were actually valid, got the panel working on their page, and hung on through the transition. I now have direct command line access to the system that runs the B7 Webring at blakes7.org, and as it's one of only two projects outside of normal life and work that I'm working on, it gets far more attention now than it ever did before! Anyone who has an active site *should* be able to get access to their account in the usual way to make modifications. If you're unsure or have forgotten your password, drop me a mail. Thanks to all those that hung on! Peter. http://www.blakes7.org/webring
