Sounds like the not-altruistic version of the Heathcliff-Cathy-Linton triangle, doesn't it? Which triggers horrible possibilities with a Kate Bush tune <screams> And now we're here In this wi-i-ine, wi-i-ine, wi-i-ine cellar Dear me Glad you're here, though I fear You've put a spanner in … [View More]

Mike said: To this matter, I would question Avon's apparent averse also. I don't believe Avon's statement that the great bank fraud was committed in the attempt to 'undermine confidence in the Federation credit system', any more than I believe it was just for the money. I believe what the script gives us is that some people in the Federation thought it was political because it could undermine the system. Not that that was actually his reason for it. Avon gives what seems to be the most probable … [View More]

Marian writes: <In Space Fall, Vila introduces Avon to Blake as the number two man in all the Federated worlds when it comes to computers. To the inevitable question who the number one is, Vila jokes: "Well, the man who caught him, of course."> Which of course begs the question, how does one tell who is first, second, ninth, thirty-first etc ... it's not exactly like the Olympics, you know:-) Vila's 'number two' is just a colourful way of saying Avon is *one* of the top computer … [View More]

'Tis a little hard not to when the most desirable woman in the galaxy clearly fancies you (yes, he's also very aware that a lot of his appeal is the lovely shiny interstellar hot rod he inherited from Blake, but not *all* of it :-) and perfect strangers drag you off to secluded caves and tell you how … [View More]

Jacqui wrote: <I would add that the group we see on Star One would be the 'curent batch' - the staff would have to be replaced from time to time.> <veg> but how, if *no one knew where it was*? What they should have done, I guess, was put in robots or androids. They could have had the technology (Project Avalon, DeathWatch). We could have had a whole heap of those little robots from SLD running around. _________________________________________________________________________ Get … [View More]

Having more-or-less left the Lyst a few weeks ago because I was too stressed out to deal with some of the stuff that was going on, may I say how utterly, utterly wonderful it is to come back and see all these great posts reminding me of just why it is I love this show so very much? I'm not going to do my own top-twenty list, because it would just duplicate stuff other people have already included on theirs, but I just thought I'd mention two more great moments that I don't think I've seen … [View More]
