This _statement_ of Peg's occurs very abruptly and could well be as a
result of over-exerburant cuts by the editor. However, as I've thought
about it does remind us that Sam has a different persona from the leapee.
He has a different moral outlook from each of the people that he leaps
into.  His ``spending time with Mikey'' would be in character for him
because he knows nothing about the history of those people whose identity
he assumes. In many cases he has to make assumptions about the leapee based
purely upon his own beliefs and morals. It is this device that makes for
much of the creative tension in the story-line.

Why in the world should USA care whether the channel is on "extended
basic" or "basic" service when USA Network itself is *already* on
extended basic service?  (At least it is on TCI's system in Buffalo,
along with Court TV, Empire Sports, and a few others.)  The local
TCI Customer Service department told me that they were just waiting
for USA to sign a contract; they said nothing about the extended vs.
basic issue (though I don't doubt it).

Just adding my two cents,

I can almost hear the dialogue when she confronts him about this.
Sigh.  Too much TV I guess.  Perhaps in another episode something
similar occurs?  The way she says the line that is in there, and then
gives him a *good* kiss...  Either a burst of love felt towards him
for being such a good father, OR another _test_ since he failed the
trick question?  C'mon, Sally, what's the insider scoop! :-)

I would say that Avon had a relationship with Cally as well.  Nothing
to write home about, but glances and smiles exchanged between them
more than Avon and any other (except Blake..and though I agree their 
relationship wasn't exactly hearts and flowers, they *did* have one.)

Final, shminal.  I have read literally hundreds of "fifth season" B7
fan stories. In space (or fandom) death is never final...
(evil cackeling laugh)

Here's one example:
In 26 episodes, Blake always calls him A-von.  In "Blake", he
calls him a-VON.  Must be a clone, right?  The rest of them are only
stunned,  Servalan, oh forgive me, Sleer, puts on huge show trials,
and then in an art of "mercy" send them to another prison planet instead
of executing them.  Then the real Blake (or maybe, another clone...)
finds them and it starts all over again.

(Of course, by this time, Avon really is crazy, not just using the
appearance of it like in fourth season, but as Avon himself might say
brains are a non-vital organ for a revolutionary.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^

You're speaking as though they had had a relationship to begin with.
Avon has never found himself to be attached to *any* of the B7 crew,
with the exception of *perhaps* Blake himself. I believe he cared
more for Servalan than he did any of his fellow crewmembers. He saw
them only as useful tools in their own speciality and as a means to
an eventual end. Avon was constantly and consistently surprised when
he discovered that the others were always looking out for him and
trusting him, while he returned none of their feelings.

Avon only ever saw Vila as an excellent locksmith and in that, a
valuable asset to the crew. The fact that he became more of an
alcoholic by the end of the 4th season (Vila, that is), probably
did nothing to help Avon's already low valuation of Vila's personality.

Now Vila, on the other hand, may have thought that he and Avon had had
some sort of friendship or something. But again, that was his
point of view, not Avon's. And since Avon always held the cards...

It was one of these awfull Euro co-productions from the mid to late '70's.
Only thing I can realy remember is that two male "slaves" steal a spacecraft
and head for Earth. The female government on their homeworld (Minerva???)
send a strike force after them and the leader of this force decides to
interfear with Earth's society. I seem to remember Judy Gleeson as being in
it along with Gareth Thomas as one of the slaves.

Gareths role is that of a cynical technician (Avon style) character who is
pursuaded by the dashing male hero to make a break for it. I bet when
he read the script for "Spacefall" Gareth got a strange feeling of "deja vu"!

By the way, interviewed on "Swap shop" just before the 2nd season of Blakes 7
aired, Gareth said that B7 was the first SciFi series he'd done, so he'd
already blanked the whole gastly episode from his mind.

A friend of mine who is a Jerry Anderson fan claims that sets and costumes
where reused from "Space 1999", but I think that the spacecraft where specially
made for Starmaidens as I don't remember seeing them anywhere else.

join the club, that's everybody's reaction!!!  i called my local

i guess all us fans can do is to send the BBC hate mail...but then
the show was cancelled about 12 years ago, and they've been on every
B7 fan's hate list ever since....so i guess it won't do much good.

George RR Martin brought a rough cut of his pilot series "Doorways"
to World Con.  This is an item I reported on before from Archcon back
in July.

All I can say, is that I liked the pilot enough to come back for the
second showing at the con.  This is an alternate earths plot.  It had
a nice blend of action, humor, some sentimatal touches, plus intelligence.

The teaser ending is up there with the ending of "Planet of the Apes"

Did anyone else from World Con see this?  What were/are your thoughts
on this.    

Lets hope this will make it to TV within the year.

  err...... ummm.... There's only one thing I can say.

  Buy some Blakes 7 fanzines!  They are of better quality (even though 
they are amateur) in plot and characterization! ;)

  One good source of fanzines is an agent named Bill Hupe and Peg 
Kennedy.  They can be reached at 910 Lamb Rd, Mason, MI 48854-9445, USA.  
(I don't work for them, I am buying fanzines from them, and they have 
been reliable so far...)  These people receive permission from certain 
editors to sell their fanzines for them...

  Enjoy and Stay Safe! ;}

You forget how thoroughly NASTY and powerful the federation is. I don't 
think Vila was planning to desert, since he really was safer with Avon 
than on his own. Yes, even though Avon had just tried to kill him! There 
just isn't that great a possibility of another "him or me" situation 
coming up, and in his own way, Vila is as much a survivor as Avon. He 
would, of course, keep an eye out for such a situation.

(Although if Vila'd had the chance to run off with Kerril again, he'd 
take it for sure!)
