Free choice can only exist if the people are aware of the alternatives. You are aware of the alternatives, you have made your choice. Other people aren't so lucky. Give me a chance to give them a chance. They deserve that at least. Please.

In my Leylan/Raiker analysis I show that they are kept alive because they have become pawns in a power game between Leylan and Raiker. Let's take a look at that whole scene. JENNA: How do you feel? Jenna quite clearly cares for Blake. BLAKE: Sick. Blake feels sick for two reasons. 1/ The revolt failed 2/ Although Avon, Jenna and Blake are still alive he has some doubt about Leylan. The doubt came in when he was restrained by the guards and Raiker punched him in the stomach. Just before the punch was delivered Blake looked Leylan in the face, and he saw something. AVON: So you should. What a fiasco. You could take over the ship, you said, if I did my bit. Well, I did my bit, and what happened? Your troops bumble around looking for someone to surrender to, and when they've succeeded, you follow suit. Basically that's a very accurate description of what has happened. JENNA: What do you think they'll do to us? BLAKE: Something unfriendly. Blake is very worried. He doesn't know what's going on. JENNA: For a while, I really thought we'd made it. BLAKE: [Sighs] It was my fault. It was his fault. It was bad leadership, but the fact that he recognised the fact is encouraging. Some people are unable to admit when they are wrong. It's a rare gift to do otherwise, and Blake possesses it. AVON: We know. That's Avon twisting the knife a bit. BLAKE: I'll try and do better next time. Blake sees this as petty point scoring. It is but there's a reason for it... AVON: We had one chance. You wasted it. There won't be a next time. Avon is right. Only fate saves them from execution. JENNA: In which case, you can die content. Jenna is angry here. She is attracted to Blake and Avon is attacking him. Worst of all, she knows that what Avon is saying is true. AVON: [Almost laughs] Content. Again the transcript got it wrong. It should read, "Content?" JENNA: Knowing you were right. A very clever and insightful answer that.

No one tells Orac what to do. Orac runs rings round the lot of them.

Jenny has said to a number of posts: "When animal camouflage breaks down..." What exactly do you mean by this? Annie has said she has suffered various methods of on-line abuse because of her views. A number of list members have spoken up with messages of support (and I add my support here, because Annie you do a lot for fandom and you don't deserve this), and your response has been this inane camouflage message. Are you in favour of these attacks? If so why? Are you responsible totally or partially for these attacks? Have you participated in these attacks? Have you the guts to answer these questions? -- 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

How depressing. It's malicious, puerile, unprincipled cretins like this that sometimes cause me to agree with Avon's low opinion of the human race... My sympathies, Annie. Nina
