Ummm. Errr. Sorry and all that, but that's actually Vila and *Tarrant* from Sarcophagus: VILA: My head's killing me. TARRANT: You should learn self-defense. (Had to speak up, since it's my second-favourite line from Tarrant in the whole thing. My favourite being Terminal "What are you going to do if he spots you?" "Duck." It's the perfectly timed pause, and the fact that he's not quite joking.) The Vila and Avon exchange along the same lines was from Redemption: Redemption: VILA: I've got this shocking pain right behind the eyes. AVON: Have you considered amputation? <grin> can't see *what* Steven Pacey means about interchangable lines, meself ... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Harriet and Sally - ><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 :-)) I know people have their favourites but I've never really been completely satisfied with any representation of power-politics in TV or film. Like sport, politics seems to be hard to capture. Perhaps because 'liveness' is so important. I'm trying to think of any example, from B7 or otherwise, which even begins to capture the excitement of real politics unfolding and I can't. (for non-brits, I'm watching real politics unfold on TV at present) Alison

New Cartoons and Fanzines
by Ashton7＠aol.com 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

I've finally managed to get a few of our websites updated since our return from MediaWest Con. The main site has all of the "news" as well as a new Stargate cartoon and two classic Blakes 7 cartoons posted. There are two new all Highlander fanzines in print as of a couple of weeks ago. Also, many of our older fanzines, like the Western ones, are now available in reprints for the first time in years. Full details, including the usual art and text excerpts, can be found at our website. Everything is linked from the main page, so check it out! I'm taking submissions now for several upcoming fanzines and, baring any further medical crises in my life (goddess forbid!), they will be going into print as quickly as they fill up with stories! So, if you're interested in submitting material for Highlander, Stargate or Blakes 7, drop me an email. Ashton Press: http://members.aol.com/ashton7/ashton.htm Annie

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?)

Twenty Moments, Etc.

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
by Sondra Sweigman 07 Jun '01

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.
