H&H: Blake
by Susan Beth 22 May '01

22 May '01

NOTE: all quotes are from "The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines." I'm leaving a lot out - most of which applies, some of which doesn't. If you want the latter, well, buy the book. It's interesting. ;-) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Blake is "The Chief." "The CHIEF is a leader. People instinctively look to this man for their answers. He is a man who seizes control whenever possible. Active, dynamic and strong-willed, he urgently needs to fix problems and produce results. He rarely takes time to build consensus or garner support - not unless he is forced to in order to achieve his goals. He expects people to line up and follow his directives unquestioningly." "His powerful personality often forces others to align themselves with his plan, and he usually wins the day even if all the details have not been pinned down and discussed." Under virtues they list: "Goal oriented - give the CHIEF something to aim for and he keeps going until he reaches the target." "Decisive - Bring a dilemma to the CHIEF and within minutes he has come to a conclusion about the best way to handle it." "Responsible -- When he accepts a task, he follows through until it is complete. He never doubts that he can accomplish the job." Under flaws: "Stubborn - The CHIEF sometimes becomes so focused on the mission before him that he loses track of when a cause is lost. Obstinate to a fault, even when someone points out that the battle is over, he continues to fight." "Dominating - Being right can be a burden, especially when no one listens. Irritated when decisions are not made right away, the CHIEF responds by trying to yank everyone into his corner. He sometimes bullies people into following him. After all, he is the one going in the right direction." I forgot to mention before, each Type is divided into two 'styles', slightly different ways it could be expressed. Blake falls into the "Conqueror" style: "He will go outside the parameter of the [establishment's] acceptable if that is what is required in order to achieve his aim. If challenged, he is amused rather than chagrined.....Once he set his course, he is determined to win - at any cost." Susan Beth (susanbeth33(a)mindspring.com)

Who for? Please note: that there has been a lot of people talking about "vegetables" on Lysator today. Three of the chief culprits have been Leah Rosenthal, Steve Rogerson and "Evil" Annie Wortham. However, of the sixty or so emails so far, 98% of them come from tagged SLASHERS. Now think to yourself, why are there so many SLASHERS running around talking about "vegetables"? Two reasons 1/ There is no way that I am going to be able to answer sixty emails, 2/ There is nothing I can say about them anyway, except the above, over and over again. This is a SLASHER list, run by SLASHERS. Please leave and join a proper B7 list now.

This email was delivered to you by The Free Internet, a Business Online Group company. http://www.thefreeinternet.net --------------------------------------------------------------- Just out of interest, what exactly is a troll (in the flame sense?) I only know the sixties things with hair that recently made a comeback as things to go on the end of pencils but obviously there is another more specific meaning here. Debbie

New Redemption guest
by Steve Rogerson 22 May '01

22 May '01

Blake's 7 special effects whiz Jim Francis will be a guest at Redemption (see sig for details), though probably only for one day. His most notorious effect was the explosive blood bags/squibs for Blake's death in the final episode. Jim also worked on Dr Who during the Pertwee and Tom Baker years. More recently he co-founded his own company, Specialeffects GB, based at Shepperton. This company provided effects for such shows as Red Dwarf VIII and The Tenth Kingdom. Already announced guests for Redemption are Chris Boucher and Damian London (who played the Regent in Babylon 5). -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption
