song vid

If you like songvids, take a look at <a href="http://www.morgaine1.btinternet.co.uk/Videos.htm">Music Videos</a> where there's three B7 song vids. Judith PS. the site owner says she's had very few hits on the B7 vids yet. Are you so outnumbered by Xena fans? -- 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/

If you could change ...
by Andrew Williams 02 May '01

02 May '01

From: Sally Manton <smanton(a)hotmail.com> > If you could change just three things about the series - with no > restrictions on cast, budget, scripting etc - what would they be? > (Obviously, *my* first would be "don't let Blake go.") Allow Chris Boucher to script more of the 4th season episodes (this was the series where they reigned him in & said he could only write two). Since he seemed to be working his way around the regulars in s3 (Vila - City, Avon - Rumours, Tarrant - Deathwatch), he probably would have got to Dayna in s4 and we wouldn't have to put up with 'Animals'. Use better models for the gunships that attack Scorpio over GP. It looks like they used wind-up toys! Give them a decent gate in "S-L-D" for Vila's security spiel. Explain why Servalan doesn't notice that the dying Liberator is oozing goo. Get rid of the 'borders' around Scorpio when in flight ("No, that's deliberate - that's the, um, forcewall"). Get the Warlord with the outstanding delivery ("Words...are only words") and introduce him earlier, making him a regular. In fact, give him his own spin off series - "Jarriere & the Warlord".

Harriet wrote heaps of good stuff, including: <1) The Web - sorry to those who've heard me say this too many times, but it would be quite OK if the whole episode centred on Cally - who's the saboteur, it's her! how do we stop her, why did she do it, can we ever trust her again? As it's her first ever possession, it's not yet a cliche, and there should be much more of an issue of trust when she's a new arrival.> This is a wonderful idea actually, with the added bonus that Blake would have to handle both the threat from Cally *and* the hostile reaction from Avon and Jenna, which would really stretch his leadership at this early point. PS - liked your remarks on Tarrant and Vila very much - can I just say 'me too'? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Possibly the >fact >that people disagree on interpretation points has led to the conclusion >that >some are on a Blakes 7 mailing list for reasons other than the fact that >they enjoy Blakes 7. Hey, wait a minute! All I did was make a bit of a joke, cause I thought it was a bit funny that the announcement about ebay told everyone who Chris Boucher was and that he wrote Rumours of Death, when they would surely already know that if they watch B7. So, 1/ it was meant as sarcasm but about a particular post, not a swipe at fans in general, and 2/ if the joke was on anyone, it was on Judith (and at that it was kindly meant). I wish people around here would stop getting so upset and snarky all the time. It's no wonder the Lyst's been quiet; I think everyone's scared of having their head torn off. >Topic (and previous discussion on Vila) closed. > >Okay, anyone want to discuss something deep and meaningful like Servalan's >wardrobe? Well, sorry, but wasn't it you who said a couple of days ago that there wasn't enough discussion going on? I'm sorry that you're upset, but I thought we were just airing our different views about Vila. If you're going to take it personally, then I don't want to discuss it with you either.

Website
by Una McCormack 02 May '01

02 May '01

My site has had a bit of a tidy up, and I've also moved it over to the new domain, so if you've linked to it on your own site, you may want to update: http://www.qresearch.org.uk/personal/blake.htm. There's not a ton of new stuff, but brand new is Sally's Special Site, which lists Ten Complimentary Things About 'Animals', and which you are urged to consider when next deciding what to throw on the bonfire: http://www.qresearch.org.uk/personal/sally.htm. Any inevitable problems with the HTML - let me know off-list. Una

Testing and hello
by Leia Fee 02 May '01

02 May '01

Hiya Wouldn't normally bother posting an introduction but couldn't get this thing to send mail to the lyst for ages so am sending a test message and a hello in one. Been enjoying lurking...despite naming the computers on the network I set up at work after B7 characters I never knew there was such an enthusiatic fandom. Though I was the only doolally one. The lesser flinching Leia (yeah Leia actually is my name mum was a Star Wars fan OK.)

After I wrote (re Gan and The Keeper): <And he'd pair-bond with Tara, of course.> Harriet asked: <But I thought that was Jarriere's job?> Fair enough, though I doubt Tara would complain about more than one bonding ... and I would still like to see Fearless Leader in that position, just to see if he was so blase about it *then* <g> BLAKE: Is Jenna all right? VILA: Only pair-bonding with the chief. BLAKE: Good. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
