Staked Blake again
by Kathryn Andersen 26 Jun '01

26 Jun '01

Well, after Judith had trouble with the fonts on the version I put up (and seeing as she's the one who's printing it for public consumption, it's gotta look right) I have re-done the *entire* *thing* all over again, so whichever of you downloaded the 17th of June version of the Second Edition of Staked Blake have got yourselves something which no longer exists. I hereby announce the Real Second Edition of Staked Blake, which has five extra illos and is 8 pages longer than the first edition (and has all its fonts embedded, and is 1M larger than the 17th of June version). Those who are still interested, it can be downloaded from the web at <http://www.katspace.com/fiction/stakedb7.shtml> You need Acrobat Reader 4 to read it, but I'm sure everyone upgraded when they were getting ready for Redemption, didn't you? (-8 And Judith said she could well have the print version ready for Nexus.

I was going to vote for Animals (all five votes) as a treat for Una-- then I thought, "We wouldn't have the fun of hearing her get excited everytime there are more votes coming up for frame captures." Sorry, Una, your Get Out the Vote drives are too much fun too miss. Maybe I'll vote for Voice Fom the Past... mummy cam.

However, I am thinking of reviving the outfit for Nexus if anyone has any spare pom-poms lying around... -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Re: New frame captures and voting

Lisa, Thank you again for doing such a great job on your episode frame captures. http://framecaplib.com/b7lib.html ***** Voting: Glad to know it's time to vote again for future frame captures. lisa(a)eroicafans.org I have already sent you my votes and I put all four of them together for one of my favorite Blake shows. Last time I voted for four different shows and not one of them won! ***** Even though "Pressure Point" is an old frame capture, I still love it dearly and wanted to make some comments on my favorite Blake pictures. You had a total of 42 frame captures with Blake out of the 158. You had 12 of Blake by himself and 30 of him with other people. There are just so many many good ones of Blakes that I am very pleased. I am going to mention specifically 8 of the 42 Blakey ones. Blake by himself 12-- close up, looking to right-- Blake with a serious expression is absolutely gorgeous in this--imo, of course 19-- extreme close up (but not a nostril shot), looking to left-- Blake with an attentive look 31-- close up, looking to right --Blake with a look of amusement 52-- close up, looking to right (serious look)-- One of my all time favorites and this is Blake at about his leanest in the show as far as his face goes. Gayle Feyrer did a color pencil of this pose which is on one of the back covers of a FIRE AND ICE. If I had to pick one Blake pose from all of "Pressure Point," this would be it. I have several telepics of this in my collection already. I fell in love with this shot about as soon as I discovered B7, about 8 years ago. Blake with other(s) 26--Blake (looking right) and Avon (looking left), looking at each other--An absolute favorite of mine and one I made into a set of stickers in 1997. Blake has his finger in his mouth, and Avon has his arms crossed and looks dubious 116--Blake (looking right) and Avon (looking almost left), and Blake has a strange expression on his face--Another favorite which I made into a sticker set in 1997 and which AVON CLUB in Dec. 2000 used for one of its coasters. Of course, I bought the coaster. I'm sure this one has been used more than one for caption contests. Years ago I did a series of comical captions called Fractured B7 which I shared with friends, and in this one Avon is explaining the "birds and bees" to Blake who isn't buying the story at all. 132--the famous Blake "meltdown" in the empty room with Avon's caring hands on him-- What can I say except I love this scene? I think it's one of the top Blake and Avon moments in the series. 148--Blake's grief over Gan's death--What a sad hypnotic moment in B7 for me.....much like the final five minutes of "Blake." I think GT did a marvelously understated job of acting to show his grief and regret over Gan's death. He does so little but yet conveys so much emotion. Thank you yet once more, Lisa, for these frame captures--new and old. I do thoroughly appreciate them. I love them so much I am trying to print out on photo paper all the Blake episodes which is quite time consuming. But it is nice to be able to have the pictures in a notebook when I can look at them anytime. I don't always have access to the computer since I share it with the three other people in our family.

New frame captures
by Lisa Williams 25 Jun '01

25 Jun '01

I've just uploaded the B7 frame captures which will be available for the next five weeks. The episodes on display now are "Pressure Point" and "Headhunter". The set of 240 images from "Headhunter" is new to the library. The B7 frame capture library can be found at: http://framecaplib.com/b7lib.html . As usual, I've also updated the top 20 images section to show the most popular images from the episodes displayed during the past five weeks. The Cult of Jarriere will no doubt be pleased to note that he holds four of the top 20 slots, including #1. This episode completes the set of four which were elected by the last vote, which means that it's time to decide on the next batch. This time, I'm going to stir things up a little: each person gets four votes, but now they don't have to be for four separate episodes. You can apportion them as you like -- put all four votes on one episode if you really want to promote it, or divide them between two, three, or four episodes. I ask only that you stick to whole votes, no fractions. The episodes which have already been done to date (meaning *don't* vote for these) are: Aftermath Blake Death-Watch Gambit Gold Headhunter Killer Pressure Point Redemption Rumours of Death Sarcophagus Seek-Locate-Destroy Shadow Star One Terminal Warlord The Way Back Please send votes to me *off list* at <lisa(a)eroicafans.org>. I'll be accepting them for the next four weeks. - Lisa -- Lisa Williams: lisa(a)eroicafans.org or lcw(a)dallas.net Lisa's Video Frame Capture Library: http://framecaplib.com/ From Eroica With Love: http://eroicafans.org/
