How do people watch B7?
by Sally Manton 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

After I wrote: <Ah, but have you tried turning the sound off completely and making up new dialogue as it goes along? Even when you make up total nonsense, it tends to improve matters quite a lot.> Una murmured: <I can smell burning video-tape...> But - but - it's *true* - just try muting the Servalan/Dayna torture scene and imagining them reciting 'The Hunting of the Snark' instread. And Justin is *much* easier to take if his lines are by Edward Lear instead of Allan Prior ... Could this be the way to salvage Power as well? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Orac
by Sally Manton 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

What are the limits of Orac's ability to control spacecraft? I know it showed that it could control Zen and the Liberator's computer systems, but I don't recall it ever doing the same for Slave and the Scorpio, or indeed many other ships (i e the ever-present pursuit ships). I could be wrong about this; my video's gone bust and it's hard to check if something *never* happened on the series, short of sitting down and watching the whole 52 episodes ... Could any of the with-it technically people or the S4 fans (re Slave) answer this one? And - if it never happened *except* for the Liberator and the other DSV - can anyone explain it? (If of course it *did* happen, kindly disregard this question :-). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

It's a bit silly but has several strong plusses; Sand is a lot silly, and has precious few little plusses (I have to admit, cutesy as Orac's "I love you" bit is, it almost ruins the whole thing for me all on its own.) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

WEll, yes and no. Tanith scored 50 per cent, in that Sand was a good episode but Sarcophagus was crap. However, I also note that some people have that the other way round.

Andromeda
by Steve Rogerson 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

For those who missed Andromeda first time round, it is being repeated on Thursdays on Sky One at 8pm. If you watch it, you may find a certain familiarity with the characters. In fact, they can be mapped almost exactly to the season one B7 crew: Dylan Hunt - Blake Beka Valentine - Jenna Tyr Anasazi - Avon Seamus Harper - Vila Trance Gemini - Cally Rev Bem - Gan Andromeda - Zen Even some of the plots are B7 rip-offs. -- 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
