Well, Neil, I know that Chenga looks like the obvious choice, but I think
you'll find Gardenos really was the best option. You've got to start
thinking further ahead, more strategically. As for the Obsidian move - I ask
you! I didn't think we were playing beginner's level! That leaves me wide
open for a sprightly avuncular thrust to Exbar.

<Snicker> Yes, that's our Servalan all right! She would have given Livia a
run for her money. OTOH, Servie wouldn't have been content to leave Augustus
in power if she could manage to take over herself.

I bet you thought you'd trap us there... Una, its as though I could
see the route you'd planned. Resurrecting the little known but
highly effective Pinder Move, I'm stealing a passing Federation
Starburst 3 pursuit ship fitted with a the tachyon shunt (backwards
tachyon funnel) and taking meself all the way to
Disentastra. And before you try it anyone, don't forget that Bayban's
rules say anything goes near Terminal.

Pita, I'm so pleased to see you back on the Lyst that I would allow you to
carry out Pinder's Move on me any day ;)
Nonetheless, you misjudge my cunning completely. A quick sleight of the
hand, a rapid adjustment of the forward scanners, and I'm through the
blockade and safely in orbit round Morphenniol. Try your tachyon trickery on
that one, matey!

Now that definitely sounds like something that belongs on The Other List.

I saw "Eyes Wide Shut" yesterday and therefore have no trouble at all
picturing a wide variety of possibilities for what you suggest.
But after provocatively bringing it up, I suggest that we close the
subject there! EWS is definitely not a film that should be spoiled.
hey but the reason I am back on the list is to ask what everyone
thinks about the movie? I did spend some time doing me homework,
reading through list archives but the bits I read it sounded as
though the general reaction was kind of an eye roll and a "Tcha.
It'll be rubbish." And then the perfect excuse for a discussion of
"Who would you cast in a B7 movie". Again.
So anyway, what is the position, anyone not had their say yet? Is
everyone concerned that PD (lovely fella and all, but
still..) is planning to have such a behind-the-scenes involvement?
And that Chris Boucher doesn't seem to be involved?

Just an end-of-the-week reminder that the ongoing auction of B7 memorabilia
(and other fandoms) from our collection on eBay has a large amount of stuff
that will be rolling off shortly, and quite a few new items have recently
been added. Check back to see what's new, and remember that it's FREE to
register and bid.
Direct link to Annie's list here: http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/ashton7/
Or else go to the main page at: http://www.ebay.com and type in "Blakes 7"
in the search box to bring up all items that fit the category.
Much more to come over the next few weeks and all through to the end of the
year. Some rarities and unique stuff coming!
Good luck!

Working through my backlog of newspapers after the holiday, I found a
feature in the Observer magazine (Sept 12) of Television's 100 Greatest
Moments, which had evidently been voted on by readers (though Channel 4
seemed to be involved too). Momentary sense of annoyance that I hadn't
noticed this in time to vote for you-know-what. Then I noticed a
supplementary list at the back, of TV moments nominated by readers which
hadn't made it into the top 100 but which were so good they thought they
should mention them anyway... and... Yes!

cast are seemingly gunned down, including Blake who had just come back.

Well! I come back from working interstate (*again*) and find that
people are playing Mornington Crescent!
Since we are playing by Bayban's Rules, then I can still join in at
this late date. Unfortunately, it is probably too late for me to
protest the use of the Picard Manouvre earlier, even though it is in
complete violation of the Berkeley Accord.
Nonetheless, here I go.

More of a concern is Mr Lighthill, I think - or his view of what constitutes
B7, anyway.
> And that Chris Boucher doesn't seem to be involved?
This is the real disappointment, I think, as this way we would be pretty
much able to guarantee something approximating B7.

Oh Kathryn, thank you thank you. I love you and I want to have your babies.
My stupid move to Obsidian almost put me out of the game but now I can do a
Bellfriar Flip all the way to Zondawl.
So that's me 250 up on mean loading AND In Square, so henceforth all
countermoves through the Inner Worlds are subject to Aspect Limitation.
Don't worry, Una, I'll have a cuppa ready for when you get to Earth.
Sorry - IF you get to Earth.
