Hamlet
by Judith Proctor 29 Jan '01

29 Jan '01

Any more for Hamlet? There's half a dozen of us going to the matinee on 17 Feb. There's a touch tour before the show and provided there aren't too many visually impaired people (the tour is primarily for them, so they obviously get priority), then we can go along on it. It's on at the Brunton theatre in Musselburgh near Edinburgh. Gareth's playing two parts.

I attribute it to bad direction of the episode, but as that is a non-allowed solution, I have to assume that IMIPAK could either be set to a range OR to point and range.

Weapon

There are two possible interpretations of how imipak works. 1/ It zaps everything in the set range. This appears to be the interpretation when Coser explains the weapon's functions to the Clone, when Servalan kills Coser and when Servalan is about to kill Blake, Avon and Gan - and is stopped by Rashel who has the marking gun. 2/ It can be set to zap a specific target. This interpretation makes sense when Servalan kills the guard but leaves Travis standing, but at not otherwise ! As Dana points out there aren't enough buttons for it to behave with this level of sophistication. Personally I think interpretation 1 is correct and Travis' survival was due to bad direction. But then Weapon is the best example of the technological impasse plot where both our heroes and the Feds race to gain some kind of uber-weapon which will end the conflict decisively. Of course this can't be allowed to happen and so the main interest is elsewhere. The real point of Weapon is to set up the idea that Blake wants to blow up control and that Travis' mental stability is somewhat doubtful. Just as the real point of Orbit is Avon hunting Vila with a gun, or that the real point of Sand is Servalan & Tarrant. Frankly I think they did the genre to death in the fourth season. Hands up who thought they were ever going to end up with the Tachyon funnel ? Stephen Date ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Much, much, much less Avon action. Rewrite the whole season 3 and 4. Send Avon to Epheron after Star One, and leave Blake aboard. Avon still gets to play an essential part in the final episode: Episode 52: "AVON" JENNA (walks up to Blake): He sold us, Blake. All of us. Even you. (Avon enters the tracking gallery. He is fat, unshaven and dressed as a bounty hunter. He has a big scar across his nose.) BLAKE: Is it true? AVON: Blake, it's me, Avon. BLAKE: Stand still! Have you betrayed us? Have you betrayed ME? AVON: Of course not. BLAKE (holsters his gun with a sigh of relief): Of course not. It must have been a misunderstanding, Jenna. (to Avon) For what it's worth, I have always trusted you. AVON: Good. I counted on that. (He shoots Blake.) Servalan, your troops may come out now. (The Federation troops kill Blake's crew. The end.) Hmm... This last episode hasn't actually changed much. N.

Lysator's New Look
by JEB31538＠cs.com 29 Jan '01

I find all the extra needless repetition of the same nine lines in the header of every message in the digest to be very distracting. These are the lines I am talking about: > List-Help: <mailto:blakes7-request@lysator.liu.se?subject=help> > List-Post: <mailto:blakes7@lysator.liu.se> > List-Subscribe: <http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/blakes7>, > <mailto:blakes7-request@lysator.liu.se?subject=subscribe> > List-Id: About the old british Science Fiction TV-series. <blakes7.lysator. > liu.se> > List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/blakes7>, > <mailto:blakes7-request@lysator.liu.se?subject=unsubscribe> > List-Archive: <http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/private/blakes7/> Yes, I know. This now means my message will have the extra lines in it twice when I get my digest. But I wanted to make it clear which lines I was talking about. These extra lines repeated with every message make the digest look ugly to me, plus for my painful arthritic hands it causes me to make many extra key movements that I normally wouldn't have to make. For instance, in a digest of 20 messages, I have to make twenty extra "page down" hits in order to read the entire digest. These nine lines fill my entire Email view screen. To the the truth, I haven't even been able to read the last two digests simply because I am so visually distracted by all the extra information which is totally needless to be repeated in a digest. I read the titles of the posts and start hitting "page down" to read the posts and then about half way through simply give up in frustration. If there is a way to trim all that needless repetition in the digest version, I would sincerely appreciate it. Maybe there's some computing trick that can be used so that in the digests each header ends with "Precedence: bulk." I think trimming this needless repetition in the digests would be a great benefit to us digest people. Joyce Bowen

Roleplaying Blake's 7
by Helen Krummenacker 29 Jan '01

Had an odd dream last night where I was playing a live action RPG set in Blake's 7 universe. Mine was a Sam-Vimes-ish character... once idealistic part of Federation civilian police, seen one too many casees of obvious curruption and had one too many clashes with totalitarian MPs, lwft the Federation. A cluster of other feugees from the Federation were travelling together with me... and all of us had information on our characters that was not available to the others. I remember specifically a tall, muscular, non-cummincativechap with a criminal background (think Travis 1 as a pirate to picture him). There was also a short, young girl who had sugggested our destination, a place where she hoped to get us help from a friend's father. The father was a nobleman on an independent planet. We arrived, the friend was crying; then in walked the father, escorting Servalan. Fairly obvious to assume the planet was about to fall under Federation power. There was a bit of civilized snarling between us, then I woke up. Thought I'd share this in case it might give anyone ideas for a scenario. Seems like the
