Fwd: FW: [B7L] Avon's smile

Mistral wrote: <Possibly this explains the Scorpio's dilapidated condition - it was a relic from the Spanish Inquisition.> Thus bringing to mind the perennial question of how Avon would look in those gorgeous red robes :-) a question sadly neglected in the series (except for Sarcophagus, where the robes are nice but the headdress makes them all look like dyspeptic nuns). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Fwd: FW: [B7L] Avon's smile

Guy wrote: <Oh, and Avon whose heart is broken by the thought that a friend has betrayed him.> Mmmm, but I still think that Avon realised - just moments too late - that he'd made that ghastly mistake, and any betrayal was the other way (note: while I don't assign guilt for what happened - it *was* a ghastly mistake on both sides - Avon does still bear the central responsibility.) Certainly as Blake breathed that 'oh ...Avon ..." and fell. That's a part of the reason he goes into that *total* shock, not even noticing when the others are shot around him (when he killed Anna he was distraught, but not blinded to everything around him), then makes that hopeless but wonderfully moving gesture of protecting Blake's body... which he wouldn't have done had he still had any doubt. In practical terms, the gesture means nothing, but it's all he has left to give. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

That personal space barrier Avon likes to keep between himself and others. Jenna's fashion magazines and hair styling supplies. Blake's good intentions. Vila's good intentions. Tarrant's fashion magazines and hairstyling supplies. Any others? Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

The Liberator is about the same size > as > Deep Space Nine. I go with the "The Liberator had LOTS of space" school of thought or else I'd seriously be wondering how they managed to hide from the Federation Death squad, how no one was ever within screaming distance when the plot said they shouldn't be, and how they could miss the treasure room (even if they just misplaced the four months [flushed down the rather large plumbing that would go with Liberator's rather large living space, no doubt], Jenna didn't expect her Lawrence of Arabia friend to find it without help and, in S3, Avon considered it likely only the soldier he had actually seen go into the treasure room had found it).

Heh heh. Their three main weapons were guns, an explosive concealed somewhere amongst Dayna's clothing, an empty bottle of adrenalin and soma, and Avon's smile. Sorry, their four main weapons were... well now, someone can do this better than I can. Just make sure you put leather uniforms in there somewhere.

Cutting it Down to Size
by Dana Shilling 17 Jul '01

I think that a lot of problems with B7 viewed as an ongoing series (rather than separate episodes) could have been reduced by thinking of things on a smaller scale. If, for instance, there were only a dozen habitable planets, it would be less surprising that they all have quarries and only one building (an underground bunker) per planet, and it would be possible to follow the political currents of their relationship with the Federation. If the Liberator were an astonishingly advanced--but tiny--ship (as if Scorpio weren't an interstellar Yugo, for example) then it would make perfect sense that Blake couldn't accommodate a larger crew and had to be critically understaffed all the time. -(Y)

Last call: frame capture votes
by Lisa Williams 17 Jul '01

17 Jul '01

Just a reminder that the cutoff for the current vote on frame capture episodes will be the 22nd, this coming Sunday. If you're interested in voting and haven't done so yet, please get your selections to me (off-list, at <lisa(a)eroicafans.org>) by then. Remember, you get a total of *four* votes, and you may allocate more than one vote to an episode if you wish. The only stipulations are: don't vote for an episode I've already done, and please use whole votes only, no fractions. - 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/
