Jenny said -
B7 has taken on a personal role in your lives, for twenty years or so Gan
has been a character that you liked, that you felt comfortable with. Now some bitch is trying to tell you that Gan is a killer and what is worse, a killer of women. This is an attack on a friend.
No it isn't, it's a comment on a fictional character. I personally find Gan rather dull, and over the 'past twenty years or so' I have been interested to come across your theory from time to time, or variations on it.
Supposing you had said 'here is a completely different take on a familiar character - and guess what folks, it stands up just as well to scrutiny as your complacent ideas, and I can quote the episodes to prove it. It is just as valid an interpretation as any of you lot who think Gan is nice and safe and cuddly, and that's how I view Blakes 7, so get used to it.' That would be very interesting, and I for one would have enjoyed that.
I'm not making this up you know. This is no self deluding "IMO" bullshit..
The pattern's there. Everything fits.
But here you seem to be saying 'this is definitely the truth about Gan's character' - and that seems to me to be a meaningless statement. Where is truth held? What does 'truth' mean when we are talking about a work of fiction? These seem to be such glaring problems with your stance that I can't help but feel you are creating a self-parody. Is it just a joke?
Thus I conclude (and speaking only of myself):
'I am making this up you know. This is self deluding IMO bullshit. Nothing about B7 is real. This is just a game I play.'
