Re: New B7 merchandise

Ebony asked: "Do you know if they have any plans to produce a B7 phone cover?" Steven Scott, the firm's director, didn't mention that to me when I talked to him, but then again I never asked. The list I gave was what he told me off the top of his head. -- 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

Gambit should have been there instead." Shadow. Before just about all of them.

I don't know how many children he'd have but I see him leading the scout troop. Blake would never notice how much they hero worshipped him and thought he was the perfect scout leader, etc (anyone else ever see the old Andy Griffith movie "Follow Me Boys" where he plays a scout master who remains charmingly insecure, being oblivious to how his troops worship him, will march into the valley of death at his say so, etc [and who, by the way, upset military war games and capture a tank on a scout hike]? Like that). > > _Avon_ I think the best angle to go at with Avon would be to hire a nanny. Avon would then wind up watching over the nanny's shoulder, offering advice on how it's really done, and making a general nuisance of himself till he finally took over to show the _right_ way to do it. (Pardon sudden aside) "Watching Barney requires a level of stupidity I am no longer capable of." "Diaper rash is part of being alive. But keep it a small part." [Said while eying a bottle of strained lima beans] "On earth, it is considered bad manners to poison your children whilest trying to feed them." [Finding out Blake has just allowed the sitter to cancel] "Have you betrayed us? Have you betrayed _me_?" [Dealing with the lack of a sitter by handing Blake the little tyke and, when he tries to protest, assuring him] "For what it is worth, I have always trusted you, Blake, from the very beginning." [Cally reassures Blake] "My people have a saying. A man who agrees to babysit can never be wrong . . . ." [Auron lullaby] "May you sleep all night and silent" [Vila, on diaper changing] "I've just worked out a brand new strategy. It's called running away." [ Avon while shopping] "In the end, extra absorbant diapers with leak proof lining are the only safety." As to the _kind_ of child Avon would likely have, what's that story by Bradbury? The Little Assassin? Back to crew members parenting skills: Jenna I agree about how she'd act, rather like a friend who was upset when she had to cut back to a three mile a day jog and who interpreted the doctors orders to stay off her feet into usually sitting down for five minutes during breaktime. As to how many she'd have, I think it depends what free trader norms are and whether she thinks it makes the most sense to have a ship run by relatives who all know better than to talk back to their mama (raising them on a ship under working conditions most likely _is_ the free trader idea of normal). Zen and Orac The obvious comes to mind - "Everybody with hands, change diapers!" Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

They're both a little too romance-novelettish for me, though Sarcophagus has its good bits. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

B7 Parents
by Sally M 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

None of Our Heroes are perfect parental material, but then, who is? Given that, Gan would probably be best all round. The rest - variable, and none of them much good towards the end. But is we look at before they all became rather scary ... Tarrant would best be suited to the bright (but not too uniquely so), capable, sensible, efficient, dutiful sort of kid (as he is that sort of person). Well-meaning but simply inadequate children - the dull, the timid, the scatter-brained, the fumble-fingered - would be better off with Gan or Vila, who would make allowances. OTOH, Vila would be useles at setting limits or giving much guidance - he'd be fun to have around (would make a great granddad) but is too self-centred and easily swayed to make a fist of the drudgery of raising and training a child. An exceptionally gifted child would probably do quite well with Avon if they were old enough to have a mind that would interest him, and were gifted in areas that he could appreciate. Cally would be tolerant but somewhat earnest (and the endless Auron proverbs and sayings would guarantee serious rebellion the minute the poor sprog could manage it - a bit like the kids of ultra-earnest New Age holistic types who develop serious Maccas habits as soon as they can toddle their way there :-)) A gifted child with an unusual or creative mind would IMHO be best off with Blake, who is bright, the most inclined to appreciate a wide range of interests, and appreciates and is fascinated by other people (and is actually more readily, physically affectionate than the rest, something I personally *do* think is important to a child). But of course, there is one huge problem with Blake at the time of the series - how that conviction would affect his relationship with any child, his own or otherwise. Soolin would make an excellent nanny, but a dreadful parent. Jenna would raise practical, serious, effecient little smugglers without a skerrick of imagination or nonsense about them (hmmm ... maybe Jenna as parent and Vila as live-in uncle, since he could provide nonsense by the bucketload.) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Well, any intentional humour :-) personally I find it extremely amusing, but for all the wrong reasons. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

To be or not to be a Jarrigoth?
by Sally M 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Helen Atkins said: " It is far more elegant a concept than choosing, say, Carnell; because Carnell isn't hideously ugly," That's a matter of opinion, of course :-) No, of course Carnell isn't hideous, but he's nothing to get enthused about. Jarriere is waaaayyyy more appealing. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
