Cally wanted to still the kairopan because the Federation needed it and
she saw it as a good way to discourage slave labor on Kairos.  Vila fell
under the usual, addictive spell of kairopan (of course it's addictive,
that's why no one can resist picking the stuff up).  However, when not
properly stored [i.e. out in the open getting over-ripe] it causes
strange hallucinations [which have an odd, group consistancy if you throw
a telepathic Auron and a telepathic rock into the mix], such as being
menaced by giant, unconvincing spiders, leading to heart failure.  The
possibility that kairopan may have had some use to telepaths, which Cally
didn't care to share (moderately embarrassing or just one of those things
they wouldn't understand?), that might have also explained her backing.

Of course, while Avon mentioned some of the resources to Tarrant when
they met, he may have since arranged an 'accident' to explain why the
stuff is 'missing.'  After the war, Avon may have realized it's safer to
keep some of your valuables in various, neutral banking systems away from
the war zones.  No reason to tell Tarrant that.

But, as she was about to end the relationship, that may have been a

Hmm, maybe Travis just THINKS it was Blake who caused his injuries, not
the 'clumsy' trooper behind him.

Then again, maybe Blake was the clumsy trooper.  A little difficult to
manage, since Travis had set a trap for him, etc.  But there may be an
explanation around this.  Blake never said the Freedom Party _didn't_
meet at the Space Command Shooting Range ....

For some reason, I'm hearing a little voice saying "Me Zukan.  You Jane"
Or Jenna.  Or Mary Sue (Servalan).

Then again, perhaps he just didn't want to advertise his real title,
Skippy ("Hail, Skippy! Long live Skippy!" "Skippy, Scourge of the
Spaceways!").

Ah, and here I'd always thought the obvious question was about Dayna's

other, blind engineer with an artificial seeing device ....

Meant to ask - just what were the crew laughing at for the conclusion to 
yesterday's episode?

Obviously they were supposed to be having a laugh with Gan, but unless 
they're really that good at acting, it seemed like they were genuinely 
wetting themselves at something - I felt like I was missing out on some sort 
of in-joke...

I would love to be able to get some miniatures.  I hope all of you take some 
time to either write, call, or Email.  I went to the site and the Email is on 
page one at the lower left hand side.  It's easy to do.  However, I would 
strongly suggest you use you real name and add your address and Email just so 
you come across as an authentic person with details.  I think having the 
documentation is necesssary.

The actual  Email address --if you are too lazy or busy  to go to the site-- 
is

vaughan@harlquin.demon.co.uk

I hope a lot of you do the Emails--since that's the easiest thing to do.

	C'mon, man!  It was the SEVENTIES!  They were too busy
switching between film and video in the sickbay scenes to worry about
DIRECTING!

	It's a classic seventies end-of-show happy music freeze-frame!

	I think the more important question is "What happened to the
freeze-frame and the happy music?"

I can see how Africans, all living on one continent, could interbreed,
even if dense jungles made travel difficult. Hence, from whence did this
vast gulf of genetic diversity arise?

But I cannot imagine how Scandinavians could ever have managed to
interbreed with Australians.
Please explain how a 6 foot blonde Swede could be similar to a 4 foot
dark aborigine.

I postulate that then the 0 negatives and all negative ilk would be
marginalized as lesser grades and enslaved.

A bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately quite a good mixture...

The thing that surprised me about this episode was that it seemed to have
two parts. On the one hand, we have the "will they make it in time?" aspect
of the dash to the station. Then once they reach the station, the episode
seems to switch focus, suddenly changing from action/adventure into more of
a psycho-political drama.

I think I read somewhere that David Jackson was told this was going to be an
episode about Gan. He must have been most disappointed when he saw it. It's
actually an episode about Avon! But more on that later.

As far as Gan's situation is concerned, it's good to know that none of the
Liberator team are proficient in brain surgery. There's a limit to what they
can do. In fact, this episode brings home a major deficiency in Blake's
crew: they have no qualified physician of any type. Bones or Dr Bashir would
have had Gan patched up in no time.

The part about the anomaly wasn't bad. Zen's unexpected shut down and the
subsequent panic on board was suitably gripping, particularly when Avon
flips his top. That rather suggests the extreme gravity of the situation
they are in. Considering it was all technobabble, it's amazing they managed
to convey a sense of danger at all. But all is well in the end, as they
cruise through the anomaly and out the other side. I did like Blake and
Jenna's delight at having made it, btw.

Then the Liberator reaches the station and the episode changes. Instead of
battling against time, a recalcitrant computer and a big red swirly thing,
the Liberator crew are suddenly up against some new characters with agendas
of their own. Kayn and Farron become the main antagonists, and confronting
them requires a bit more subtlety than the anomaly did. Vila unexpectedly
gets to play the heavy, though he gets plenty of help from Avon and Blake,
who are perhaps more convincing in the role. Avon's attempt at jumping ship
was also an interesting twist.

The ending was very, very nice. By this, I naturally mean the real end of
the episode, not the S1999 Y2-type pointless tag scene. Kayn killing Farron
and then the whole station being destroyed by a stray bolt was very good
IMHO. Nice to see chance still plays a part in the life of future human
beings.

All in all, an enjoyable episode which raises a few questions and didn't
rush to answer them all. The questions being mostly a couple of character
points...


Character stuff:
================
The malfunction in Gan's implant is the catalyst for this episode's events,
but aside from that, all he gets to do is lie around or attack people. The
grunting and snarling while he was in the sickbay was truly appalling; I
suppose it enforced the notion of the implant feeding random impulses to the
brain, but it did nothing for me.

Meanwhile, Vila suffers what appears to be a personality change in
mid-episode. First he's having kittens about the space anomaly, then he sets
out on a one-man guerilla mission to confront Kayn. I suppose the apparent
inconsistency could be explained by one of the following:

a) Vila really likes Gan and wants to make sure Kayn saves him, or:
b) Vila really likes Blake and wants to spare him the trouble of confronting
Kayn, or:
c) Having used up all his fear during the confrontation with the big swirly
thing, Vila finds a new reserve of bravery to save the day, or:
d) Vila thinks Kayn and Renor won't be much of a challenge, since they're
only doctors, or:
e) Vila is pretending to be scared when he's scared. Well, I've already
voiced my thoughts on that one.

I'm sure there are other explanations, but the point is that I felt his
behaviour needed an explanation. However, I did enjoy the surprise of having
him turn up, gun in hand, just when he was needed. Nice scene. OTOH, I've
decided that Michael Keating is a pet, so I may be biased! ;)

Blake's determination to save Gan shows that he does care about individuals
and not just The People in general. I also appreciated the way his patience
with Avon seemed to have run out about mid-episode, particularly the remark
about him not wanting to ask Avon to stay. One of his qualities as a leader
is shown at the end of the episode, where he laughs with the crew at Gan's
recovery. Considering that Avon chooses to glower in a corner at that point,
I shudder to think how their fortunes will change when Blake is gone and Mr
Charisma is in charge.

Of course, it's impossible to comment on this episode without mentioning
Avon. The plot about Gan aside, Avon's interest in 'defecting' is one of the
key focuses of the episode. He has threatened to leave the Liberator several
times in the past, but this is the first time he comes close to putting that
threat into action. The stress of rerouting the computer manually evidently
went to his head. Interesting how he blames Blake for not turning back,
whereas Avon was the one who insisted they go through the anomaly in the
first place.

Although events -- Kayn's betrayal in particular -- conspired to scupper
Avon's deal with Farron, it would be interesting to speculate whether Avon
would have gone through with it if everything went smoothly. That would
depend on whether one views the attempt as a sincere desire for a new life,
or some posturing to prove a point to Blake. My personal theory is that Avon
is a bit of a Prima Donna. Either way, he clearly does care enough about his
colleagues to reject Farron's compromise proposal if it means abandoning the
Liberator crew to their deaths. So much for his professed determination to
be a loner.

On the guest character front, both Kayn and Renor need a good smack in the
chops. The latter for his "hello, hello" comments to the Liberator's women,
and the former for being an all around bad guy. At least Renor turned out to
be human, displaying compassion with Gan's plight. Kayn was just as cold and
calculating as a machine. A chillingly effective baddie.

I did quite like Farron, though. Not a nice person by any means, but his
politician's view of any situation made him interesting. I particularly
appreciated the way he rapidly came up with a contingency plan to keep Avon
when he learned that the Feds were on their way. He's evidently one to seize
any opportunity on offer; pity for his sake that he didn't realise Avon's
true attachment to his Liberator colleagues. He possibly could have got
himself a deal if he hadn't been so flippant about the Liberator's
destruction.

Aside from that, Cally gets to ask Blake why he's so angry with Avon, and
Jenna has an argument with Avon. Also, I'm glad to see no objection to women
drivers in B7; in fact, piloting seems to be women's work on the Liberator,
as both Cally and Jenna get their turn to pilot the ship. Gan's coma aside,
the episode was more of an ensemble piece than previous ones seemed to be.
Even Zen gets a character moment by unexpectedly switching off because it
believes the Liberator is going to be destroyed.

Subtext: Nothing that sprang out at me this week, unless *any* kind of tif
between Blake and Avon counts as subtext!


Nitpicks and Preposterous Props:
================================
That star chart was an interesting "print out". I wonder if Zen is full of
little pixies who painstakingly stuck all the little circles onto the
Plexiglas.

As for the spacial anomaly, did anyone else cry out, "Look! It's a big red
swirly thing in space". Or are my boyfriend and I the only Red Dwarf fans
here? <g>

I thought it a bit strange that they let Kayn and Renor into the sickbay and
then left them to it on their own, until Vila decided to wander in with a
weapon. For hunted rebels, they're awfully trusting of complete strangers
they need desperate help from.


Dialogue Gems:
==============
BLAKE: Well, the tranquilizer pad should keep him quiet for a while.
CALLY: Two of them would flatten any one of us for about a hundred
       hours.
AVON:  If he comes round, he'll flatten all of us for a good deal
       longer than that.

======

BLAKE: Suppose Zen gave us the necessary information and detailed
       instructions.
AVON:  Oh, come on, Blake! This is not something you do by numbers,
       not even highly sophisticated ones. This is an area that has
       remained the exclusive province of specialists.
BLAKE: Yes, I know, I know.
AVON:  There are quicker ways that you could kill him, but there are
       none more certain.

======

VILA:  Funny, we're all standing here hoping there's something
       wrong with him. Something ordinary, a nice straightforward
       disease.

======

BLAKE: Any others with the necessary level of technology?
JENNA: Only Epinal. But the problem there is that they're considered
       potentially hostile.
BLAKE: To the Federation?
JENNA: To the species. They don't like humanoids in general, and in
       particular homo sapiens.
AVON:  That puts their intelligence beyond doubt.

[[This amused me on more than one count, as Epinal is actually a suburb of
Paris!]]

======

BLAKE: If the direct route to XK seventy two is fifty hours shorter
       than our nearest alternative then that can be the difference
       between life and death for Gan.
VILA:  And for us.
JENNA: Realistically, it's his only chance.
AVON:  I agree with Jenna.
VILA:  You do?
AVON:  I have never taken things on trust. I see no reason to make an
       exception in the case of a mysterious warning of danger.
JENNA: Neither do I.
BLAKE: Right, let's get to it.
VILA:  Don't I get asked?

======

JENNA: Maybe Zen's got it wrong.
AVON:  Zen hasn't got it at all.
JENNA: All right then, whoever programmed him.
AVON:  One of these days I intend to find out who that is.
VILA:  If you live that long.

======

CALLY: (V.O.) No change. Blake, what is the flight time across the zone?
BLAKE: Avon?
AVON:  Thirty hours.
BLAKE: Thirty hours.
VILA:  That gives it plenty of time to leap out on us then.
JENNA: Must you keep on about it, Vila?
VILA:  Sorry. Just nervous.
BLAKE: We're all nervous.
VILA:  I thought it was only me.

======

BLAKE: Hmm. Well, presumably Zen will come back to us when we're out of
danger.
VILA:  Sounds like a good idea. Any chance of joining him?

======

VILA:  I've just had a comforting thought. We may all be dead before
       we find out why this is a danger zone.

======

BLAKE: (V.O.)Have you done it, Avon?
AVON:  Soon.
BLAKE: (V.O.)How soon?
AVON:  I can talk or I can work, but I can't do both.

======

AVON:  Blake, in the unlikely event that we survive this --
BLAKE: Yes?
AVON:  I'm finished. Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity
       of which I no longer feel capable.
BLAKE: No, you're just being modest.

======

AVON:  (V.O.)We're coming in range of XK seventy two. Just had a
       message from the station administrator. Very polite, but it
       boils down to who are we and what do we want.
BLAKE: Tell him we're an experimental ship out of Earth on a proving
       flight. Then tell him what we'll need.
AVON:  (V.O.)You think he'll believe that?
BLAKE: Convince him. Use your charm.
CALLY: Why are you angry with Avon?
BLAKE: I'm not.
CALLY: You sound as if you are.
BLAKE: He has a decision to make. If he wants to stay with us, it's
       got to be for his reasons.
CALLY: You'll do nothing to persuade him?
BLAKE: Nothing at all.

======

BLAKE: Where were you when we needed you? (to Avon) What did they say?
AVON:  They've invited the commander to go across. I've got a voice
       fix ... "Commander."

======

AVON:  Why do you stay with Blake?
VILA:  I like him.
AVON:  That isn't a good enough reason.
VILA:  It is for me. That and the fact I've got nowhere else to go.
AVON:  (smiles) All right. Put me across.

======

KAYN:  Just a minute. This is interesting. What rank do you hold?
BLAKE: I'm a civilian.
KAYN:  Unusual.
BLAKE: We tend to be in the majority, even in the Federation.

======

JENNA: Hello.
RENOR: Hello, hello, hello!
VILA:  Ah. Jenna, this is Professor Kayn's assistant, his name is -
RENOR: Renor. And I had a feeling this was going to be a good day.
JENNA: Yes, well, don't let your feelings run away with you.
RENOR: Oh, a sense of humour, too. I love girls with a sense of humour.
JENNA: Yes, I can see where that would be an advantage.

======

RENOR: I'm going to operate myself.
KAYN:  You'll kill him.
RENOR: Well, at least I'll have tried! You call yourself a doctor?
(Vila enters, handgun pointed at the doctors)
VILA:  No, he calls himself a genius.
KAYN:  Ah.
VILA:  All right, genius, time's up.
KAYN:  I wondered how long it would take you.
VILA:  Well, you can stop wondering and start operating.
KAYN:  Why didn't Blake come himself?
VILA:  Blake doesn't know anything about it. I thought it was better
       that way. He's got a conscience. He might not be prepared to
       kill you.
KAYN:  And you are?
VILA:  Yes.
AVON:  If he isn't, I am.

[[Vila and Avon team up as Blake's minders]]

======

BLAKE: How soon can you complete?
KAYN:  Thirty-five minutes.
BLAKE: Do it in twenty.
KAYN:  Or you'll kill me.
BLAKE: Oh, no, no, no. In twenty-five minutes I'm returning you to your
       station. If you haven't completed your work --
KAYN:  Your threats don't bother me in the least, you know.
BLAKE: -- I shall destroy your hands.

[[Blake demonstrates that he doesn't need two minders: he can intimidate
with the best of them]]

======

AVON:  Say goodbye to one bolt hole.
BLAKE: That's not funny, Avon.
AVON:  It wasn't meant to be.

======

BLAKE: How do you feel?
GAN:   I feel as if someone has been poking around inside my head-- with a
foot.
VILA:  We had to kick your brain a couple of times to get it started.
GAN:   Only twice? They didn't remove the limiter.
CALLY: It was not possible.
VILA:  They've modified it, though. Your ears glow in the dark now.


Miscellaneous:
==============
Sorry for the delay in getting this out; I've been using this long weekend
to finish other miscellaneous bits and pieces which don't get done during
ordinary weekends. Amongst other things, I've finally HTMLised all my
previous comments and bundled them onto a custom-built Web site at
http://www.alpha.ndirect.co.uk/blakes7 (this one not included yet). As a
reminder, they are also archived on Judith Proctor's site at
http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7

Nice to see Gareth Thomas in Randall and Hopkirk yesterday. He's grown old
and, um, rather large in the last twenty years. But it was a nice spooky
role and he's a damn fine actor. He should give Bob Mortimer a few lessons.
I'm going to miss R&H and their silly antics, though!

Comments and discussion welcome as usual!

Which just goes to show how perceptions differ, since I don't recall him
ever being terribly nasty to anyone.

I have just updated the Enarrare' page - now there are pictures of all
the covers from 9-15, not just the cover of #10.  So if you want to
see the beautiful colour zine covers, then trip over to
