One reason they might want to keep up this particular illusion is as a surveillance method, I suppose. Presumably if Blake's siblings "write" to him, he'll send his own vistapes back, and the Feds can monitor them for any traces that Blake's conditioning is slipping. Maybe they enven deliberately include stuff in the faked tapes designed to test or reinforce that conditioning. (Sorry to send this to you twice, Dana.

Hi everyone, for some time now I've been unable to post to the Lyst. Now my server has changed its hardware and operational system, so I want to see if my mail will pass through this time. Happy Ortodox New Year - it's tommorow. N.

Particularly not if the channel showing the programme concerned keeps changing the timeslots. My mother has just had a lot of fun over the Christmas period trying to tape Farscape for my brother while he was shiftworking. (In New Zealand. He's going to be doing a lot of sitting in front of a television when he comes home.) Channel 9 was showing it twice a day. Then the test matches started...

Which female characters to write about
by Helen Atkins 12 Jan '02

I'd like to vote for Piri too, with Servalan as a second option. I like the character of Servalan; she reminds me of one of my old bosses. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

However, if 'Prime' indicates the biggest planet in the system, then it could easily be fourth from the sun in the Darlon system. ie GP = Darlon IV in the same way Earth = Sol III.

And they use Roman numerals in astronomy, so Del Ten would really be Del X? Is Gauda Prime's sun called Darlon, or was that just an example? So Jupiter would be Sol Prime, and Darlon has no gas giants. That brings up another question - do most solar systems have gas giants? Or could they just have one or two Earth-sized planets, or none at all (a 'blind' sun is mentioned in the series). Were planets formed differently from the accretion disks of different sorts of suns?

The Handgun
by Ellynne G. 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Continuing The Importance of Being Avon Avon: The late Mr. Thomas Cardew, an old gentleman of a very charitable and kindly nature, found me, and gave me the name of Avon, because he happened to have a first-class ticket for Avon in his pocket at the time. Avon is a place in England. It is a riverside resort. Lady Bracknell: Where did the the charitable gentleman who had a first-class ticket for this riverside resort find you? Avon (gravely): With a handgun. Lady Bracknell: A handgun? Avon: Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was with a handgun - a somewhat large, black leather handgun, with handles to it - an ordinary handgun, in fact. Lady Bracknell: In what locality did this Mr. Gareth, or Thomas, Cardew come across this ordinary handgun? Avon: In the cloak-room at Victoria Station. It was given to him in mistake for his own.
