It's a bit silly but has several strong plusses; Sand is a lot silly, and has precious few little plusses (I have to admit, cutesy as Orac's "I love you" bit is, it almost ruins the whole thing for me all on its own.) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sorry for any sore feelings I may have caused.

WEll, yes and no. Tanith scored 50 per cent, in that Sand was a good episode but Sarcophagus was crap. However, I also note that some people have that the other way round. Puzzled. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Andromeda
by Steve Rogerson 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

For those who missed Andromeda first time round, it is being repeated on Thursdays on Sky One at 8pm. If you watch it, you may find a certain familiarity with the characters. In fact, they can be mapped almost exactly to the season one B7 crew: Dylan Hunt - Blake Beka Valentine - Jenna Tyr Anasazi - Avon Seamus Harper - Vila Trance Gemini - Cally Rev Bem - Gan Andromeda - Zen Even some of the plots are B7 rip-offs. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

>From: "Sally Manton" <smanton(a)hotmail.com> >Justin >is *much* easier to take if his lines are by Edward Lear instead of Allan >Prior ... > >Could this be the way to salvage Power as well? The Hommiks, as described by Avon, I suppose: "Their heads are green and their hands are blue, and they travel in sieves." (Well, I don't remember seeing much water around Xenon until Headhunter, so going to sea would be a bit more difficult.) It also brings up the question of the lady from Cygnus, though if you are determined to stick to Lear, a clean version becomes necessary.

>From: Jacqueline Thijsen <jacqueline.lyst(a)jthijsen.demon.nl> >Hmm, Rowan Atkinson as Travis III. I think I'd like that... As long as he didn't have Blackadder I's haircut <shudder> On the other hand, if he looked more like Blackadder II, the Travis fans would have an instant convert on their hands here. Forgetting what the actor looks like for a moment, it might be interesting to see what he would do with the character.

I think I'll leave it to Harriet to write that script. Oh, and I have to say I agree with Mistral about Jenna being the one who ought to know about 61 Cygni.

Chris Boucher

Sorry 'bout this, everyone ... Jenny wrote: Okay. Blake's 7 was a television programme that appeared in the United Kingdom (an island in Europe). It was broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation for four years.> etc Oh, are you being sarcastic? This is (the last time I checked) a Blakes 7 mailing list. Possibly the fact that people disagree on interpretation points has led to the conclusion that some are on a Blakes 7 mailing list for reasons other than the fact that they enjoy Blakes 7. Topic (and previous discussion on Vila) closed. Okay, anyone want to discuss something deep and meaningful like Servalan's wardrobe? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

This would, of course, mean that the whole scheme itself would have to be far far better written - maybe we could even have some doubt whether Servie can win ... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: [B7L] recognising Blake (was Captain Vila (part 1))

Either he or Cally would be a better choice - they were part of the legendary rebel team - surely a plus for anti-Federation negotiations - and they would at least recognise Blake if they fell over him (unlike Tarrant, who never got up the curiosity to look up a picture of the man who ran the ship for two years and whose name still influences them, or even to look up some old log files ...)< In Powerplay Tarrant tells Avon: "You weren't Blake, I would have recognised him." So he did know what Blake looked like. Marian
