Suppose that the series 2 B7 crew suddenly finds themselves brought before the Council of Elrond. (Okay, if you must know *how*, assume some high-level intervention by the Valar, or maybe even Eru. And if the Liberator's in orbit around Middle Earth, assume the teleport's on the blink as usual -- otherwise it's all too easy.) Elrond explains the problem and asks Blake's Seven to take the Ring to Mount Doom.
You know, I think I'd *really* like to read this, although I'm not entirely sure why... :)
So -- who's the Ringbearer?
Blake? Except we know he doesn't like have temptingly large amounts of power like that; just consider his decision to destroy Star One rather than attempting to use it. Hmm. Star One, the One Ring... There's already some weird parallels there, I think. Does that make Servalan Sauron?
How do they get across Zirak-Zigel, or into and through Moria? Do they, in fact, manage to destroy the Ring? Do they live through it?
Knowing them, probably not. :)
