This email was delivered to you by The Free Internet, a Business Online Group company. http://www.thefreeinternet.net --------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think anybody has mentioned my favourite piece of dialogue between Avon and Vila My head's killing me Then learn self defence Can't remember which episode it was from, but it's one of the classic lines of the series.

Harvest Of Kairos ... and Avon and Cally wandering off in the middle of a battle to play mind games with a bit of rock. (Can you *imagine* if they'd tried that one on Star Trek?) Countdown - Ralli, a librarian/revolutionary. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Harriet wrote: <9) Voice from the Past: The politics, you apathetic lot!> Who, us? <wide eyed injured look> That's all I watch it for, of course. Seriously, I do think the episode is important (if rather less than brilliantly executed :-)) for its clear statement on the limits to peaceful, lawful dissension within the Federation (ummm ... Do Not Pass Go. And You Can't Collect $200 if you're dead). Wonder how many planetary governers of dubious 'loyalty' found themselves 'replaced' in the immediate aftermath? And even if he's rather less than himself at the time, Blake's 'A chance. Our first real chance. And, one free of violence and bloodshed,' is rather touching, poor man. <Er, yes, and Avon in a black shirt grabbing Blake doesn't do it any harm.> <grin> _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Review of The Way Forward: Crusades of Blake

Tavia asked about real-world revolutionary input into the zine. Let's just say that in addition to a couple of us having roots in 1960's left-wing radicalism (which may or may not "count", depending on your point of view), I retain links with a group of imprisoned revolutionaries in the Caribbean, and the apa which gave birth to the zine has had periodic contributions from a revolutionary in El Salvador.

Dana wrote: <And why Blake thought that the skillset of either Second Best Computer Man in the Federation or embezzler included cold-reading spaceship repairs...> By Destiny, Blake had worked out that Avon was an expert on *everything*. Just ask the scriptwriters :-) Una, this is a terrific thread. Have other people been sitting there going 'should have thought of that', 'oh yes, *that* one!!' "I wanna rewrite my list!!' It's amazing how many really wonderful moments we've collected ... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Dana: <The Universe 8,234, My Client 2.> and Una: <Hey, were did those 2 goals come from?> Well, I'm not sure if the Liberator blowing up under Her Supremeness's feet could be called Avon's or an own goal on her part, since it was her use of Blake's name that spurred Avon into recklessly charging through the cloud of ick and screwed up her beautiful plans before she even got started ... Like that, I do. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
