Went and watched him again (the things we do ...) What I think it interesting is Her Supremeness's reactions, which are totally unlike I recall seeing anywhere else. First, the scene where she's reclining on the bed, and he's swinging it gently, with that bird-bright expression as they're cheerfully discussing who's going to get killed (one of the things I like about the Gnome is that mixture of befuddlement and cheerful ruthlessness) - then later, when they're waiting on events, they both kick of their shoes and relax, perfectly at ease with each other. And he calls her Commander several times (forgetting the Supreme) and gets away with it :-) They're slmost ... cozy together, which is so totally unlike Servalan that one has to suppose she's actually fond of him (even if she does show a desire to brain the dear little man at times :-)) Does it all mean anything? Probably not. But it's one of the few times I actually find Servalan quite watchable. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Actually, the whole idea might turn out rather *more* interesting - in a nasty sort of way - if the differences in human and Auron resulted in some sort of abnormality in the child. Both Avon's and Cally's reactions might be interesting ... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

I suspect the Snarly One would be undemonstrative, but would besides protecting the child, take a great deal of interest in preparing baby for life. In fact, that would be one reason he wouldn't be very affectionate-- he sees the world as cold and wants junior to be ready for the feelings of rejection etc that come in life. (Never mind that a sense of unconditional love is more likely to work as a buffer. A psychologist Avon isn't.) He would however, teach the kid life skills-- computers and such, of course, but even younger, he might play hide and seek with junior on the grounds that "The child needs to know how to hide on board ship the next time we are assaulted." In short, um, he'd be a lot like my dad. This is probably why I don't plan to have kids. I take after my father.

And lots of curls and teeth as well :-) "Scottish accent <running for cover>" <g> Helen, you can find some gorgeous photos on Paul James's site: http://blakes7.pauljames.de/thumb2.html photos 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17.

Re: Avon as father

I suspect he would be more interested in any child once it had reached the age where it could help him with, or at least show interest in, his projects. Pity the poor kid if he turned out not to have any of his father's intellectual abilities. Mel --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
