Oh, sure, fleeing ahead of armed troops, it's not the way to go. But, if you're trying to look innocent while passing a particular check point or if you need the sympathy of a guard, the mother and child thing has been shown to work in the past. Granted, there've been some pretty ugly incidents where it obviously didn't. However, it seems like most variables would have been in Kasabi's favor IF she took off before an official hunt had heated up (if they'd been sent to arrest her, for example, but official check points hadn't been warned to be on the lookout). She was an officer, probably with authorization to leave the domes. She may have passed guards who knew her. Aside from her rank and identity, she would have looked an acted like an Alpha citizen, a caste many guards would have had an ingrained respect for. Add in a small, helpless child, and (especially if they could do so safely or with minimal personal danger) it's not unlikely that some guards would have been able to put their suspicions aside - and it's probable Kasabi would have had a better than average chance of knowing where she was most likely to find a sympathetic guard stationed.

Star Hunter
by Nico Mody-Nikoloff 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

Some people have asked about Star Hunter. I did a search on the web and found it's a Canadian show. I could find details of only one season. If you're interested, here's a description I found. There's a character called Travis! As it's on between Andromeda and Lexx, I'll tape it and see what it's like. I won't hold my breath though... Nico Star Hunter description from the web: Star Hunter is a space-based action/adventure drama series with an attitude. The series takes place in the dangerous frontier of space where there aren't many rules, and few to enforce the ones there are. The year is 2275. Earth has more or less successfully colonized the entire solar system. But our reach has surpassed our grasp. As in the American 'Old West', the "law of the land" is spotty and unreliable. Things are dangerous out there.it has become the Wild West of outer space. As the colonies continuously push further and further out from Earth, lawlessness and crime expand right along. With the vast distances between Earth and its colonies, the abilities of basic policing services are maxed out. The use of private forces like bounty hunters, known as 'starhunters', has become common practice. Their job: to bring to justice, for the monetary reward, the epidemic of criminals terrorizing the colonies. On Star Hunter, Bounty Hunter Dante Montana along with his niece Percy and his mysterious munitions expert Lucrectia, (Luc) and their holographic first mate, Caravaggio take their aging hunter ship, The Tulip, in pursuit of dangerous interplanetary criminals. What the Dante Montana doesn't realize though, is that one of his crew members, Luc, is a Covert operative working for an organization called The Orchard. The Orchard is run by Luc's father, Darius. Darius and Luc are privy to the fact that scientists have discovered a sequence of four specific genes called the Divinity Cluster, which, at some point in the history of human evolution, were purposefully hidden by aliens within the human genome. Various criminals in space, particularly the ones for whom Dante is hunting, are trying to bridle the power of these genes and profit from any scientific exploitation of them. Luc knows that 2 of the genes are beneficial to the evolution of the human species, but the other 2 are detrimental to it. By working with Dante as a bounty hunter, Luc has access to criminals who might be involved in the exploitation of the Divinity Cluster genes. The greatest evil force is a group known as The Raiders, Dante Montana's archenemies. Ten years earlier, they stole Dante's son, Travis and killed his wife, Penny along with his niece Percy's parents. While Percy and Dante have accepted the deaths, Dante roams the galaxy in search of Travis whom he believes is still alive and living amongst the Raiders. The true purpose of the Divinity Cluster is, so far, a mystery. But, behind the scenes on Star Hunter, competing covert forces are waging a desperate war to unlock and control the secrets of this powerful, mind-shattering knowledge.

Did I get that right? _Penny_ is the name of _Travis'_ mother? Am I alone in thinking the Dreadful One has some explaining to do?

Re: Female Characters - Kasabi it is.

David >> (snipped pick a female character for a fic) Leia > Let's see who else have we got. Kasabi? David I would enjoy doing Kasabi's back-story but whether I could do it well I cannot say. Pressure Point is an episode whose title I don't understand. All explanations I have read simply say it refers to pressure applied to various personal or corporate points. I am missing something when it comes to the title. Another thing I am missing is how to put Veron's father in the word-picture. The thing has been forming in mind and some assumptions have come to the surface: Kasabi combined the issue of motherhood in her decision to rebel; Servalan was a cadet under Kasabi's tutelage during Veron's lifetime; Veron is naturally-conceived and delivered; Veron is sixteen (last line post 31241); Kasabi and Veron are healthy outdoors types. Offlist, I received a request for Zeeona, and for Plaxton, so I may work on one of those simultaneously. DC http://tezcatlipoca.algonet.se/cgi-bin/getbyid.pl?id=31241

Well, that's a different matter. We tape a lot of stuff, not just because we're not able to watch it at the time, but because, by taping it, we can shorten the time required to watch a Sky broadcast by about 30%. Having the stuff on terrestrial would have this effect, to some degree too, depending on the channel's fondness for advert scatterguns, but still, watching it live usually takes more time than watching it on a tape. So, if you can't fit it in when it's taped, you wouldn't be able to fit it in otherwise, either. Or - thinking further - does it mean that you can't watch prog X because you're already taping prog Y at the time? steve

Lisa's Frame Captures
by Leia Fee 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Back on my own phone line I got to go and looka t these at last. The usual fine selction. Particular favourites.... I especially like the one from Duel of Vila napping at the teleport. The outfit Vila has on in that episode is one of my favourites anyway. Powerplay. One of my favourite episodes anyway. And even I have to admit (if grudgingly)that Tarrant does look passable in the Federation uniform... Vila, bless him, has another bad day, but does spend it in another of my favourite outfits ;-) (I rather like the one at the end as well) I may just have to go and watch this episode again... Leia
