Pity, it would have worked in that episode. But thanks for the information. Now, I'll have to read the book.

Lysator's New Look
by Tavia Chalcraft 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

You can always do as I do, and receive neither message by message nor digest, and read it online at http://tezcatlipoca.algonet.se/ Messages arrive there within seconds of being sent, you have all the convenience of the digest, you can ignore topics and posters you're not interested in, and you don't get long message headers. Tavia (who's hoping she's managed to set the right gizmos that it still allows her to post...)

Why Blake stayed on Albian
by Sondra Sweigman 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Since Natasa has quoted from my argument, I feel compelled to jump in and add that there's another important point to that argument. Here's the rest of my essay: "As for the risk to his own life and Vila's: Not negligible, but not as great as everyone seems to be assuming either. Only Avon and Grant would have died at the instant of detonation. The risk to the rest of the population was from lethal radiation which we were told would take several hours to overspread the planet. Since Blake and Vila were 4000 miles away from the bomb, they'd have had every chance of teleporting out safely long before the radiation reached them." In other words, Vila panicked (when didn't he?), and Blake was understandably too focused on Avon's (imminent) danger to take the time out to explain to the man that the risk to *their* lives *wasn't* imminent.

I thought it was lost, because it never appeared in the digest. And if Helen replied to it, then I haven't got the reply, either. N.

Weapon
by Nic Mayer 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Saw Weapon yesterday and only just realised bits of it that didn't make sense. The girl who used to be a slave (Rochelle?) told Servalan not to press the button on the blue box because she'd just marked her and Travis for death. Which makes it sound like anyone marked within range would all die if the button was ever pressed. Which sounds reasonable to me. Except for the fact that earlier Servalan uses a guard to demonstrate imipak to Blake, Avon and Gan. At that point Travis was also marked but didn't die (and he was standing right next to her). So if it does only kill people you point it at, Rochelle wouldn't have been a threat to Servalan. Or have I just missed something here? Nic

Neil, Tanja, If you don't give me permission to put that on the web site, I shall force you to sing it as a duet at Redemption! I know you're both coming <very evil grin>. Why do things look so hilarious when translated into German? I was laughing aloud as I was singing it. I think it has something to do with the wonderful polysyllabic words.

filk
by Judith Proctor 29 Jan '01

29 Jan '01

Had a local B7 group meeting this afternoon and the last two to leave came up with the following filk: Liberator live for ever! By Judith Proctor (with a bit of help from Nic) Tune: Ode to Joy When I sit and watch my telly, Pictures pass before my eyes, Little dinky spaceships flying, Through those alien backdrop skies. CHORUS: Liberator live for ever! Take the best and leave the worse, All we wish can truly happen, In another universe. Curly hair styles, men with sideburns, High-heeled boots and leather gear, Evening gowns observed in quarries, These are to my heart so dear. Orac, little lights a-blinking, Walls that wobble just a bit, Lots of smoke and big explosions, On a BBC budget. Characters we know and love, In a fight to set men free, In the future bleak and hopeless, Humour blends with tragedy. The next Dorset meet is 31 March. Drop me a line if you want to come. All welcome.

I _thought_ this line was in the DS9 ep "Shakaar." However, when I saw this episode, I didn't catch anything as a B7 quote. I also didn't get around to seeing Horizon till some years later (caught the last five minutes the first time I saw it on TV. Taken on that alone, it's not an episode to inspire constant viewing, so much aquamarine and feathers). Then, somewhere down the line, I either read or was told this was used in DS9. Since I don't remember the source, I can't vouch for reliability. I'm not even sure if I was told it was in "Shakaar" or if I drew that conclusion on my own. I do know I've been meaning to see the episode ever since to check but I haven't seen it on TV (and I'm not wild about buying the videotape just to check, though I may get to that). Does anyone know if there's a cheaper option, such as an address where DS9 scripts can be found?
