Me: <one has to admit Dayna does have the most beautiful figure of the actresses in the series.> Tony wrote back: <What about the tall Blonde suelen ? or Jena ? ( i know i spelt it wrong )> Both beautiful - one of the coventions B7 does follow is that all the women, except the resident alien, have to be *conventionally* beautiful, and *none* of the men do - but I still think Dayna's figure is better, almost damn perfect (which, speaking as someone more along the lines of Dawn French, does not help to endear Ms Mellanby to me one bit :-)) But I'd be interested in the opinions of our male listmembers ... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Thank you, Sally. Putting it like that, it seems you may have to buy your own soap for washing the brain, as I may be some time yet.

And earlier in Sand when Soolin theorises about being cursed by Cally via the Sarcophagus alien, Vila is very upset and runs off, looking near to tears. I think he really does mourn Cally.

new on Hermit
by Judith Proctor 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Some new entries on the Hermit web site: http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 Murry spent many months rewatching all the episodes to compile a list of all the jewellery worn by cast and guests. It's an impressive collection and is now the longest single entry in the Sevencyclopaedia. Nicola has written an article looking at Vila's personality, especially in Myers Briggs terms. There's also some reviews for Rutherford and Son. Judith -- 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/

Meaning no offense to either of them, I somehow see that evening ending in gunfire. Let's see, if we were to hook Avon up with someone from another series, who would it be and what would happen? Princess Leia . . . Would prefer Blake. Lily from Earth: Final Conflict . . . Would be written out of the series before they could actually go out. Buffy the Vampire Slayer . . . Would believe him when he said he had no heart and stake him. Cinderella . . . Would set him up with her stepsisters.

Avatars
by Ellynne G. 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Got ahold of Cooper's Time Master trilogy where the main character is something of an Avon Avatar. Some good ideas, although I don't think the plot developed them as much as it could. Several parts in particular felt a bit rushed and contrived, although Tarod was generally very Avonish. His first girlfriend was also very Annaish. His second girlfriend struck me as a cross between Cally and Soolin (although a touch to quick to be head over heels in love with Tarod, willing to die for him, etc. for either of them). However, must mention the ideas I liked the most (and am wondering how to translate them into a more directly B7 type story) - The moment before his execution, Tarod is able to stop time. The irony is he can only get the tool he needs to escape by letting time start again (and as his would be executioners have tool he needs, this is _really_ bad). The idea of everything _stopping_ at Guada Prime with only Avon unfrozen but unable to more effectively stop events has a certain appeal. The basic scenario, castaways who wind up in this time stopped castle and meet up with Tarod. The basic creepiness of slowly realizing the sun should have come up long ago and that it hasn't - and that it _won't_. Ever. Meeting up with one of the most powerful wizard priests who rule your world - possibly the _only_ one left (the others are in a separate limbo). Then, slowly realizing there's something wrong. This guy's a demon (semiliterally) in human form. How to translate this into B7 with Avon? The idea, however, that his soul has been removed and needs to be restored would explain a great deal in some episodes.
