That's me!
The B7 webring was being managed by someone else as I
didn't have time to handle it, and I only recently
found out that it had fallen into severe disrepair.
I spent a day or so checking all active members. It's
working fine now, I'm revamping the code, and have a
couple of volunteers to handle the webring (sorry I
haven't got back to you yet by the way!) once it's all
complete.
Some sites are still in the webring system, but are
marked as inactive. I believe the site in question is
one of those, possibly marked inactive due to the
broken images.
In the meantime, please send me email if you have a
problem with the webring.
Peter.

If you had to describe the things that you like about Avon and were only allowed
five adjectives, which would they be?
I think I'd go for intelligent, vulnerable, loyal, sexy and witty (in no
particular order)

I think we've mentioned a lot of the things that we wouldn't like to see in a
movie. What are the things that we would like to see?
My list includes:
Liberator (or a sister ship because she's one of the most lovely spaceships
ever)
One or two new characters, because you have to move forward as well as be loyal
to the past.
A plot that has some insight into the political workings of the Federation - I
want wheeling, dealing, manipulating and conflict on more than one level and a
movie has a better chance of developing that than a single episode does.
Spacial effects, though not so many that they dominate everything else.
No romance - at least, not for Avon. I'd like to see Vila find a long-term love
though.
Old characters - Avon and Vila, and possibly Servalan (but played straight
rather than camp. Well, all right, a little camp, but I want her played as
intelligent, competent and able to command enough loyalty among her followers to
make her believeable as a leader)
Gareth Thomas - either as Blake, or the clone, or someone else. (One of my
favourite fan stories has Blake as a computer programme)
I want to see the deeper aspects of Avon's character brought out. I want to see
that occasonal honesty forced to the surface. I want him to have to make
difficult choices that can't be solved with a gun (one of my all time favourite
movies is 'Bronco Billy' where Clint Eastwood goes against his own legend when
is character is forced to back down from a gunfight in order to help a friend)
I want to see more of the Federation, to see what it has become, to see how its
people live their lives.
I want a real feeling that time has passed and I want to know at least a little
bit about how and why the Federation has changed - if indeed, it still exists.

Erm, I know lots of people of Myers-Briggs, but I stumbled over this, and
thought some people at least might enjoy it.

Relationships between the characters, instead of just cardboard dialogue and
constant action. One of the best things about B7 is the complex relationships
between the crew, and their enemies. That's why B7 has held up for 20+ years.
Wonderful special effects and shoddy writing never succeed.
Humor. Subtle humor, barbs between Avon and Vila or Avon and other people,
anything to stop the movie from being too serious.
I'd really like to see Jenna again, since she got no on-camera exit during
Star One or Aftermath. If she's still alive, what she's doing now, if Avon or
Blake (if Blake is alive) have been in contact with her, how she feels about
the years she spent on the Liberator, etc.
An emphasis on making a good product, not a tv movie full of superficiality
just because the producers think it might get them a good shot at a series.
Respect for the history of Blake's 7, and respect for the characters.
