I have to admit, part of my personal fanon is that there's something in the air of Exbar that does serious (if, hopefully, temporary) damage to the brain, since every single person on the planet - goodies *and* baddies alike - act as if they've lost all claim to intelligence ... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

You fiend! You've just reminded ME of the entry in the Completely Useless book (Doctor Who) about Herbert being grabbed by the guardoliers in Timelash. Lucky Tekker was in charge, forestalling a similar fate...

But of course that's just me ... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

>From: Leia Fee <Sha_Ka_Ree(a)compuserve.com> >Also more about the characters background, we hear a bit about Blake and >Avon but very little about the rest. It would ahve been nice to see Jenna >as smuggler, Vila as 'full-time' thief. Ooh, poor fanfic people! Evil person, depriving them of their raison d'etre <grin> But yes, it would've been nice. At least they have a basic background. By comparison, Soolin is a cardboard cutout.

After I wrote: <Cut out a picture of your preferred Travis and stick it over the screen when watching episodes with the other.> Neil objected: <Don't be silly. Travis moves about on the screen, and sometimes your cutout will obscure your favourite character (or Avon).> Yes, but he also obscures Servalan, Inga or a Goth or two (now *that's* a dead giveaway) which makes up for it. <Do what I do instead: mount your cutout Travis on cardboard and hold it on a long pole (like a broom handle). That way you can move it around to make sure it covers the on-screen Travis, and pull it towards you to maintain perspective on the close-ups.> Yes, that would work too (note to self: see how a *logical* mind works). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
