I think B7 was ahead of its time.
I love Farscape too, maybe for the same reasons (never thought about it
before) - great characters, humour, plots, conflict. And they have really
inventive aliens - no 'facial bump of the week' like is Star Trek. Lexx I
didn't fancy and never watched.
However, I have a question: What is Andromeda? Up till now I never heard of
it; it sounds interesting. No one-eyed maniacs in it, are there? :-)

Harry Potter.
Hey, why not? Everyone else likes it.
More seriously, Snape is Avon. I just saw the movie and I wish they were
making a B7 movie with Alan Rickman.

I agree! Rygel is annoying, but that's his personality. Pilot is very cool!
(Only seen one season so far).

Leaving the way open to ask what the ships would call themselves, in that
case...

Even Forbidden Planet has very few of them (and if anyone is going to the play with Jacqueline Pearce in it, the New Oxford Street/Centrepoint FP is 'fairly close')

Emma asked me to post this for her:
I, Mutoid, a small, specialist fanzine focussing on the lives of
mutoids, is
now available. It's now marketing time. This is my first zine and I
have no
idea what to do here, so as a kick off I've done this....
The zine is 90 odd pages long of which 85 are pure stories. Table of
contents - I've been very brief because I know some people like
surprises,
please email me if you would like more details on anything in
particular.
Awakening by Nickey Barnard - …
[View More]S4 Soolin focused story
Recycling by Oliver Klosov - drabble
Relative Programming by Ika - further adventures of Siv Holland
The Best Laid Plans by Jackie - S2-4 story featuring Travis
An Eye for an Eye by Executrix - S1 featuring Travis and Servalan
The Weak One by Oliver Klosov - drabble
His Brother's Keeper by Betty Ragan - S1/2 Vila POV
Pretty Mutoid by Oliver Klosov - drabble
Unmodified Needs by Delmonica - S3 (or maybe 4, mental block) mutoid
POV
Interview with a Mutoid by Steve Rogerson - PGP mutoid POV
Memory is an Encumbrance by Julia Stamford - S1/2 with lots of nice
Avon
moments
Kie-Eyre by Executrix - the inimitable style featuring lots more
Travis.
Warm Hands, Cold Heart by Oliver Klosov - drabble
The Mutoid's Tale by Firerose - daily life for a mutoid
Relations by Penny Dreadful - umm... I always struggle to encapsulate
Penny.
'Where do mutoids come from' might do it but it's about more than
that.
Chronicles by Emma - v short social history of the mutoid, kind of
AU-ish,
or not, depending on how paranoid you are.
With the exception of the drabbles, all fiction is unpublished on the
net or
elsewhere.
The zine is side bound, not spiral or thermal or anything posh,
because if I
did that I couldn't have the funky neoprene black front cover which is
on
the first 40 copies only. Black card back cover. Cost: #6 plus #1.30
P&P UK
= #7.30; $12 USA. It's a sparse, functional layout i.e. no fancy bits;
it's
more mutoidy that way, and cheaper, too. (I susbsidised the covers
myself so
it won't be any cheaper after the first lot have gone.)
Email emmapeel(a)calvino.freeserve.co.uk for more details of how to
order.
Content is adult in that there is swearing, violence, mentions of body
parts
and such, but not 'adult' like 'playboy tv' is adult. It turned out
everything I received by submission deadline was gen for older
readers, sort
of. That's the best way I can think of to describe it. If there is
anything
that offends you that you do not want to read, let me know and I will
tell
you if there is any in it. Anyway, that means I'll be needing an over
21 age
statement.
The stories are all ace. And the front covers are bendy and warm. And
I like
it.
Thanks for letting me hijack the list for this post, Calle!
love,
Emma
