I could make so that only those who subscribe to the list may post.
This has the drawback that those who want to post from more than one
account (from work and at home, say) would have to register the extra
account(s). Or fake their mail headers, but that's for the advanced
students :-) It's starting to feel like it's worth the bother, though.

Opinions?

Go for it!  Spam from the list is really starting to bug me, the home/work
problem wouldn't affect me, so can't comment there, but from a purely
selfish point of view, consider me down on bended knees to you!

They would have had a great future together, if she had joined the 
Liberator. Tarrant would have had to stop bullying Vila for a start, or 
else face the wrath of Kerrill.  Avon would have another person to 
verbally spar with (much as he did with Vila).  Of course, it would have 
caused quite a few problems, as Tarrant would not have been able to 
accept Kerrill prefering Vila to him.
Now we have Kerrill as well as Jarvik and Dorian as crew members. Does 
anyone else have a charactor they would like to join the crew, and why?

Admittedly I`m a fairly new addition to life on the internet, but is 
"spam" much of a problem? I have only received a couple, and they were 
dealt with promptly by the "delete" key. 
Is one spam message in over 2000 messages excessive?

That was about the most insulting piece of spam I ever received. Because I may

But he'd *already* stopped.  Be a bit hard for her to stop him doing
something he's not doing.  I have to wonder if the canonical Kerrill would
have stayed tough, since most of her toughness seemed to have washed off in
the bath.

Hmm.  Maybe.  Can't really see this, though.  Kerrill seems to me to be
more sharp than clever in her retorts.

I see Tarrant as a lot more secure than this, obviously.  And I recall from
the episode that it was Tarrant who gave Vila some solitary time to discuss
his options with Kerrill.  I always found that an exceptionally sympathetic
and thoughtful thing for Tarrant to do for Vila.  The rest of the crew
seemed content to eavesdrop on this important decision.

Calle, have you complained to the ISP, or is it one of the ones that
considers complaints to be a sign of how successful it is in selling
spamming facilities? I deleted the wretched thing before thinking to
look at the headers. I'm sure if you posted the abuse@isp address and a
form letter, there'd be plenty of us willing to take two minutes to
customise it and pass it on.

OOOOH!  I am so eager to see the next three episodes, Children of Auron,
Rumours of Death, and Sarcophagus.  They appear to be pretty darn good
from what I've skimmed through in the scripts.  Especially Rumours of
Death.  Right now I can't imagine Avon looking all scruffy, bearded and
barefoot, huddled in a cell, begging for his life.....hmmmm.  When I first
read that I was thinking, what the hell what is going on here?  At the end
of Children of Auron it seemed like they were all safe, and how could Avon
be incarcerated?  It just seemed pretty clever how it all worked out.  I
like how Vila, Dayna, and Tarrant all taunt Shrinker.  That was pretty
good.  I am so anxious to see it...I can't wait to see what kind of a
woman Anna is, as well...

By the way, I'm also excited by the upcoming online chat with Paul Darrow.
What time would that be in Central Standard Time in the U.S.?  Does anyone
know?  I don't know how many time zones there are across the Atlantic, and
what exactly is the time zone used for the 1:00-2:00pm anyway?  I'm so
absentminded when it comes to this time zone thing.

He tried to bully Vila again in Moloch (he pulled a gun on him), although 
 this time Vila stood up to him, and called his bluff.

It did a bit, didn`t it. I suppose her original toughness could have been 
a defence against the pirates that she worked with.  Maybe if she acted 
as though she would blow their brains out without any hesitation, they 
might not get any lecherous thoughts about her.

Thats true, that was thoughtfull of him.  But it was only a very brief 
meeting that he had with her.  If she lived on board the Liberator, 
things would have been different. I definately think he would have got 
around to questioning her affection for Vila.

not his life, exactly, although you could take it as that.  Begging not 
to be blinded though - most definately. (That is the one sense I would

Don`t hold your breath!  She is most definately not the kind of woman I

I don`t know what part of the US you are from, but Florida (Orlando) is 
about 5 hour behind the UK. So if you work out where you are in relation 
to Florida you should be at the right time.
Hope that helps.

The BAD NEWS is that KBTC, the Tacoma PBS station, messed up  Saturday night's
broadcast of Blake's 7, by repeating the episode from the previous week, Orbit.
The GOOD NEWS, is they know they made a mistake and plan to correct it for 
Monday's schedule and will broadcast Warlord.  The final episode, Blake
will be broadcast next Saturday the 17th .... in synch with our  Pacific 
Northwest B7 Bash.
(Contact me or Penny on this list if you would like to join us!)

The BAD NEWS is next week's broadcast will be the last time KBTC runs Blake's
7.  They've looped it through three times in succession and want to put
it on hiatus for a bit.  The GOOD NEWS is they'll be "premiering" (I guess
a premiere for them at least in the fact it will be the first time they're
airing it) "Star Cops."  First as part of a Dr. Who/Star Cops marathon
on January 24th (you know they'll be asking for Pledges that night!) and 
when they broadcast the first episode again on January 31st.

The BAD NEWS is they intend to broadcast "A Science Odyssey," a PBS special
the following weekend.  The GOOD NEWS is that entire Star Cops series will 
begin broadcasting the week of February 14.

I thought you made a pretty good go of it... I borrowed the novels from
a friend, and liked them so much that I intend to buy my own copies -
just as soon as I can persuade Royal Mail that folding in half A4
envelopes marked "do not bend" and shoving them through an A5 sized
leeterbox rather than waiting for me to open the door is not an adequate
level of service <grr>. Two zines neatly creased lengthways in the last

Scruffy, yes. IMHO. Even Avon would be hard put to it not to be scruffy

I thought the (real) five-day beard was rather cute. Which is saying

He grovels very convincingly. And prettily. Opinions as to how much of
that is Avon playing a role, and how much if it is him being genuinely

California is eight hours behind Greenwich Mean Time. Check your

Yes.  SPAM should never be tolerated.  One SPAM message is like one
cancer cell; leave it alone and it will grow into a malign tumour that
will choke all the life out of the net.  It would be like watching TV
where every hour had 50 minutes of advertising, and 10 minutes of program.
That's what the SPAMmers would like to do, if they could get away with it.
And they get away with it every time someone just presses the delete key
instead of complaining.  SPAM is pollution.  No one should put up with
it, any more than they should put up with crank phone calls.

Spam on *this* list seems to be pretty minimal!  I gateway this list onto
a local newsgroup (for threading and other clever things), and the amount
of SPAM I see here is small; less so than other lists!

It'd be a pain for me...

The same as for Z Cars, as I remember the producer complaining.

And Tarrant was right to do so!  Vila's trying to desert *during a mission*
was one of the dumbest stunts he ever pulled.  Also note that Vila knew by
this time that Tarrant wouldn't really hurt him.

Why should he?  Tarrant can get his own girls, if he wants them.

Just wondering if anyon's ever written a fanzine story on the future of 
Del Grant after "Countdown"? I found him a fascinating characte and 
would have loved to see him as a member of the Liberator crew as opposed 
to Tarrant. The constant animosity between Avon and him would have been 
even better that that of Blake and Avon. If someone has written a 
fanzine story on Del Grant, did it answer the question of whether he 
ever found out that it was Anna who betrayed Avon and that Avon 
eventually really DID kill Anna?

Matt

P.S. Is it just me or is "Killer" the most disturbing episode of the 
series? Just the thought of a qick moving plague wiping out an entire 
planet successfully is a scary thought...and that last scene with 
Bellfriar forgetting how to read is simply terrifying....

Blake:Transmission ends
Vila: Fosforon ends

It seems to have been from a spammers haven, but, yes, I've
complained. Which doesn't help very much, since the next one will come
from somewhere else entirely :-(

Blake's 7 FAQ & other free stuff

Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.3.95.980113082758.29154C-100000@alpha.bgsu.edu>
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

These comments on "Space Fall" are based on, but not identical to, those
in 
Rallying Call issue 15 (October, 1995) and my web site
(http://www.bgsu.edu/~sclerc/rc15.html). 

London Bridge: Doesn't the London's flight deck look like the one 
from "Mission to Destiny" (minus the corpse)? I suppose all freighters
would
have similar design (even if the Ortega looked like a turtle on the
outside 
instead a flying shoe box like the London). This would explain the many
guest 
appearances of the London in later episodes ("Horizon," for example): all 
Federation freighters are based on the same model. And all planet surfaces 
look alike from orbit. How lucky for the stock footage archive.

Do you know who I am?: Raiker knows who Blake is but (apparently) 
doesn't recognize him on sight. I think Avon recognizes either the name or 
face since he insinuates himself into Blake's group as soon as he can or
at
least as soon as Blake is there to see. Either that or Blake is giving off 
Alpha Male vibes that don't carry through my TV. 

Jenna Stannis, Space Pilot: The way she takes that hit from Raiker is one 
of the things that kept me watching the series. She knows her business, 
knows what to expect from a bully like Raiker,  and maintains her 
integrity. I imagine her response to Raiker is a riff on the word
"hard"...
On the other hand, so to speak, she does stick her hand in the sealing 
gel while explaining that it goes solid in seconds.
Rebel at heart: Although she sounds less than enthusiastic about
Blake's plans in "Time Squad," I think it stems from suddenly being more 
closely involved than she had been before. Running guns or whatever she 
was doing that brought her in contact with Avalon isn't the same as being 
on the front lines at someone else's discretion. I don't think she is ever 
in fundamental disagreement with Blake, though. In the computer room, 
she's like Mulder: she wants to believe.

Jenna and Vila: I love the joking after Raiker leaves.

Vila: Now Vila, if he'd been made the offer, would've hopped into Raiker's 
bed without a look back. Vila is happy to sell anyone out at any time, 
long-term friendship or not. Not just to save his own skin (like stepping 
out of the way as Raiker is selecting victims), which is understandable, 
but just to make life easier for himself.
He also blows the escape attempt. Blake may blame himself, but 
it was Vila's fault. But if the escape had succeeded, Blake and the others 
wouldn't have been sent over to the Liberator.

Missing in action: Where's Paura? 

Ay yai yai yai: Veela?

Nova:  Somewhere in fandom, I hear, there's a letter written from Blake to 
Nova's mother, Mrs. Caine, informing her of her son's death...I think Nova 
must have a distant ancestor who fought in World War 1...Someone on AOL 
referred to Nova as the first man in space to be moussed to death.
