Even Forbidden Planet has very few of them (and if anyone is going to the play with Jacqueline Pearce in it, the New Oxford Street/Centrepoint FP is 'fairly close')

They are actually robots (a la Avalon, Vinny etc)

Emma asked me to post this for her:
I, Mutoid, a small, specialist fanzine focussing on the lives of
mutoids, is
now available. It's now marketing time. This is my first zine and I
have no
idea what to do here, so as a kick off I've done this....
The zine is 90 odd pages long of which 85 are pure stories. Table of
contents - I've been very brief because I know some people like
surprises,
please email me if you would like more details on anything in
particular.
Awakening by Nickey Barnard - S4 Soolin focused story
Recycling by Oliver Klosov - drabble
Relative Programming by Ika - further adventures of Siv Holland
The Best Laid Plans by Jackie - S2-4 story featuring Travis
An Eye for an Eye by Executrix - S1 featuring Travis and Servalan
The Weak One by Oliver Klosov - drabble
His Brother's Keeper by Betty Ragan - S1/2 Vila POV
Pretty Mutoid by Oliver Klosov - drabble
Unmodified Needs by Delmonica - S3 (or maybe 4, mental block) mutoid
POV
Interview with a Mutoid by Steve Rogerson - PGP mutoid POV
Memory is an Encumbrance by Julia Stamford - S1/2 with lots of nice
Avon
moments
Kie-Eyre by Executrix - the inimitable style featuring lots more
Travis.
Warm Hands, Cold Heart by Oliver Klosov - drabble
The Mutoid's Tale by Firerose - daily life for a mutoid
Relations by Penny Dreadful - umm... I always struggle to encapsulate
Penny.
'Where do mutoids come from' might do it but it's about more than
that.
Chronicles by Emma - v short social history of the mutoid, kind of
AU-ish,
or not, depending on how paranoid you are.
With the exception of the drabbles, all fiction is unpublished on the
net or
elsewhere.
The zine is side bound, not spiral or thermal or anything posh,
because if I
did that I couldn't have the funky neoprene black front cover which is
on
the first 40 copies only. Black card back cover. Cost: #6 plus #1.30
P&P UK
= #7.30; $12 USA. It's a sparse, functional layout i.e. no fancy bits;
it's
more mutoidy that way, and cheaper, too. (I susbsidised the covers
myself so
it won't be any cheaper after the first lot have gone.)
Email emmapeel(a)calvino.freeserve.co.uk for more details of how to
order.
Content is adult in that there is swearing, violence, mentions of body
parts
and such, but not 'adult' like 'playboy tv' is adult. It turned out
everything I received by submission deadline was gen for older
readers, sort
of. That's the best way I can think of to describe it. If there is
anything
that offends you that you do not want to read, let me know and I will
tell
you if there is any in it. Anyway, that means I'll be needing an over
21 age
statement.
The stories are all ace. And the front covers are bendy and warm. And
I like
it.
Thanks for letting me hijack the list for this post, Calle!
love,
Emma

the next set lined up so that I'll be ready to do some additional ones if
possible. So, it's voting time again!>
And looking at the list, I do believe that Series One is desperately
under-represented. Seeing as Una and I both have our Hopeless Causes up and
selected, thank you all :-) anyone want to join in a tad of ballot-stuffing?
Personally, I favour Spacefall or Breakdown (or maybe Bounty?)

I thought more about this after reading Lisa's post promising the screen
captues for this and Animals.
Yes, okay, there's a lot of things bad about it. Thinking about it, however,
I've realised that what bugs me most - that keeps me fretting at the edges
of this one - is what it's not, rather than what it is. The possibilities
lost to the godawful writing could have been wonderful; taken perhaps over
two episodes we could have had:
- a *real* look at a part of Federation politics largely, and Blake and his
people getting involved with dissenters in positions of some power; and
possibly - had it been written to give the whole thing a possibility of
success - far more impact when it crashed;
- the ambiguous murkiness of collaborators/dissenters in the person of Ven
Glyn, another possible Anna Grant, albeit with the ambition to be Eminence
Grise rather than President: playing a dirty game with Blake for motives
that do (or don't?) put him on the side of the more grubby angels;
- a deeper and more profound look at the impact of Blake's mindrape and its
hidden, unsuspected, ongoing danger and damage; also what the shattering
knowledge that he's still being controlled and abused could do to him, the
way it could impact on his relationships with his crew (especially Avon,
yes, well, what do you expect from moi?) and perhaps a look at the way he
could fight back again - and the way he *must* have been damaged by it as he
heads into the biggest fight of his life.
Given the promise of the original ideas, Voice from the Past *should* have
been up there with Star One, City and Blake. Instead, it's right down there
with Kairos, Dawn and Ultraworld, saved only by the scraps of the political
theme that should have been so much more, and (for those of us who like
it<g>) the Blake and Avon and even Cally bits.
But, being essentially frivolous, I still like it. Most of it. Some of it
... okay, okay, the bit right up to the asteroid and the appearance of The
Bandages That Walk :-)

A mass watching?
(Looking for other things in the video shops - the videos of B7 seem to be *very* few and far between now.)
