I just read the blakes7 site and the update on the movie or new series.
Why dont they just do afterlife, it was after all written for the ending !!!!
Er, because Afterlife was atrocious? Or, to be more realistic, any novel is actually too long to do as a standard-length movie.

Jean De Florette (which is on UK TV tonight) was part of a novel - it and Manon de Sources are pretty faithful to the original story (The Water of the Hills - forget the author)

Smile people, your about to get a week with out me posting I think, im off to the tropics if Australia in a few days !!
Have I sinned, talking about AfterLife, must i spend my conference time in my Single Unwanted Dumb Male t-shirt as penince for my Blake7 sins ??
I original suggested it, cause I thought it was from the original authors at the time, from the TV series.
I know we all get caught up in the shows we see, and our favorite actors. I cried when Blake died, yet I am a cross between orac, avon and villa. I have the final episode on tape, but yet, i have only ever watched it twice.
I guess my Question would have to be, philosophical speaking.
Do we respect the actors views, or should we really be supporting any content remaining from the original authors, who's creation, ideas and dreams went into Blakes 7.
Warm regards and dodging tomatooes

If you consider disagreement to be evidence of sin, then you would probably feel better for some pennance. But if you bring up the subject of sin in order to manipulate our feelings, then all the INTPs and INTJs will get quite irritated... (-8

No, Tony Attwood didn't have anything to do with the actual series. He just wrote this authorized novel -- probably because he'd previously written the official Guide to B7. IMHO, if they had to have an official novel, they probably would have been better off with Trevor Hoyle, who was the one who did the novelizations.

What we respect is that which remains true to the series that we saw on television, irrespective of who writes it. The other B7 novel which you will see disparraged here is "Avon - A Terrible Aspect" which was written by Paul Darrow, who played Avon. Yes, we are no respecters of persons -- it is not for nothing that it is often called "Avon - A Terrible Novel". The reason why we dislike it is that it is not true to the series as aired. It's inconsistent with the series -- the Avon we see there could not have existed in the same universe as the Avon we saw on the screen. Paul Darrow Got It Wrong.
We won't support just *any* old content -- we will support *good* content.

Why would we waste our time throwing tomatoes when we could be using words? (-8
