Dalek Empire and 'The New Gods'
by Judith Proctor 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

We're now stocking Invasion of the Daleks - the new Big Finish audio with Gareth Thomas. I've only had a chance to listen to it once so far, but it struck me a day later who Kalendorf (Gareth's character) reminds me of. There's something of the Gauda Prime Blake about him. It's a quality of loss of hope, and cynicism, with a suspicion that there's a better man lurking behind that if only one could find him. I'm looking forward to seeing how the character develops in later CDs in the series, as I think we're going to learn a lot more about his background. Invasion of the Daleks has a very period feel to it. The sound effects/voices all feel like Blake's 7, even though they aren't - little details about how voices sound on news broadcasts and that kind of thing. It's just some quality about the way it's been produced - which feels right for a dalek story. It *should* sound like the seventies even though it's the far future. I'll write a better review after Nexus is over. We're also selling 'The New Gods', a Tomorrow People CD (original series with Tim the computer, not the later remake series). I felt the plot was a bit OTT, but on the other hand, this seems to fit the style of what I've seen of the series. As we've had a couple of requests, we've also decided to try stocking the Big Finish CDs that don't have B7 cast in them, as well as the ones that do. As usual, you can buy the above on http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 Judith PS. Kathryn, I'll be mailing you the Tomorrow People CD. There's going to be another three CDs in the series. -- http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 - Fanzines for Blake's 7, B7 Filk songs, pictures, news, Conventions past and present, Blake's 7 fan clubs, Gareth Thomas, etc. (also non-Blake's 7 zines at http://www.knightwriter.org ) Redemption '03 21-23 Feb 2003 http://www.smof.com/redemption/

Grand opening
by Mac4781＠aol.com 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

It's sleek. It's sassy. It's eclectic. It's TarrantNostra.com. Yes, we now have our own domain. Be very afraid! My techy cohort in crime has gathered in an assortment of web pages and put them all under one roof. So if you're wondering what happened to the Steven Pacey Bio, the A/T page, Pat's Fargone site, and the B7 Library, this is their new home. Construction is still in progress but the site is now open for business. In honor of the grand opening some new pictures have been added to the library's photo gallery. http://www.tarrantnostra.com/ Carol Mc

Another service that my overseas customers often use is Bidpay, although I think it can only be used for auction payments. The cost of a business account via Paypal is much less than a regular merchant credit card account. Annie
