She might view that as being better quality. More to the point, I don't think it was the sort of thing where the average person would come to equate the actor with the role, ie Darrow's stuck with being "Avon" forever, at least in the minds of many who watched B7; or the tendency on the part of my brother and myself to refer to "Burnside" when we mean to refer to Christopher Ellison. You can see why she'd prefer not to have something similar happen to her -- it'd be hard enough having to deal with being typecast as a serious, Shakespeare only actor when you want very badly to be cast in a particular part, without being seen by the general public as a rebel with a big bangs fetish, if you like. I hope this makes sense. My brain was somewhat fried by an attempt to watch Animals without hitting the fast forward button at any point. Sadly, this weak and inadequate vessel was unable to complete more than half the task... Ever so slightly shattered, Joanne (...groups of seemingly degenerate Vikings masquerading as the title beings...a Servalanic garment resembling the sacrifice of several black cockerels to the voodoo fashion gods...argh...) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Wonderful wonderful episode and Our Heroes all look gorgeous, dress beautifully (even Callys dress looks pretty good, in a Cally-ish way) and act and sound like intelligent (if - in Blake's case, rather bull-headed) human beings. And the moon discs may not be as - ummm - eye-catching and memorable as Og, but they're probably rather soothing to have around ... (now imagining Dayna saying to Avon "Og followed me home, can I keep him?") If you need a 4th season pick-me-up ... maybe Headhunter (though it does have that android) or Gold is very pretty (though it does have that smallish round person in shades of tomato ...) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Andrew "Tim Shaw" Williams <awilliams(a)daikin.com.au> forgot the steak knives! I mean, really, what sort of Demtel-type spruiker are you, mate? Page numbers might attract the connoisseur who really does appreciate craftsmanship, but still...

Chronicles 66 now available

Roll up! Roll up! I have great pleasure in announcing that issue 66 of Chronicles, the long-running B7 genzine is now available from Susan Batho, for the entertainment of all and sundry. A4 format, 60 pages. Content includes "A Message for Marric" (s1) by Geraldine Pragnell, "A Question of Loyalty" (s4) by the Lysts' own Marian de Haan, and "Lifeline" (s4) by Alison Glover. There is also some poetry, art, and even page numbers! How much would you expect to pay for all that?!? But wait, there's more! If you order now, we'll even send it in a personally-addressed envelope, just like the classy zines do! The cost (in Australian dollars) is $5 per issue plus p&p as follows: Within Australia: $1.50 Rest of the world: $4.50 (Airmail) All cheques/drafts/money orders must be made in Australian currency, but remember the exchange rate is very favourable for overseas readers. Please send your orders to Susan Batho at: 6 Bellevue Road Faulconbridge, NSW 2776, Australia We are trying to make C67 a Blake-oriented issue, so submissions are eagerly wanted. We will also take Blakeless B7 under consideration for later issues. Art is also most welcome. Hopefully C67 will be released in December or January. Order now; our operators are standing by! Regards, Andrew.

>From: "Sally Manton" <smanton(a)hotmail.com> >(now imagining Dayna saying to Avon "Og followed me home, can I keep him?") Sally, don't do this to the Lyst in general, let alone me... >If you need a 4th season pick-me-up ... maybe Headhunter (though it does >have that android) The android I can live with, in a manner of speaking; though the episode does push a button marked "Avon is a big meanie", with regard to one particular interaction with Vena. But that's just me, as previous discussions on this theme have shown. >or Gold is very pretty (though it does have that smallish >round person in shades of tomato ...) Even Keiller can be tolerated (he does end up dead, as you will recall). I just have to ask myself if the music on the Space Princess and Avon's maniacal laughter at the end of the episode cancels out Vila getting the opportunity to look very good and behave rather more masterfully than he would have the chance to normally (the "it's your lucky day" bit). On the whole, I think it's not too bad a choice. I am surprised, now that I think of it, that you didn't mention Gambit (and that I didn't think of it, for that matter). In my present state, I am deeply in sympathy with Jarriere...
