Back to the Blake's 7, You can attack the Hommiks for being violent, patriarchical and un-enlightened, and I can counter-attack by questioning how you can malign their culture. >>1.

Unfortunately, Nina seems to have sided with Avon and neglected to inform the guard. A couple of other things that struck me as interesting : It seems the Hommiks had already reverted to their primitive culture by the time of the assault Nina reports on in the historical tape ie an axe is slammed into the desk before her. So where did they get a Nucleic Burster from ( presumably a high tech item ) What was Dorians relationship with the Hommiks? Why didn't he help the Seska in his employ? He could easily have destroyed the Hommiks, or driven them off with the weapons that he could have made or imported. Maybe he was feeding Hommiks to the basement room for his alter ego. Alternately, maybe he had realised that the Seska were trying to betray him, and this was his pay back. >> >>Popping open a box of marshmellows, > >I prefer popcorn myself. > To each their own, >;-) > - XXX Lindley >Ophelia - ophelia@picknowl.com.au >"The girl has beauty, virtue, wit, >Grace, humour, wisdom, charity and pluck." >LONDON CALLING - a list to discuss Britcoms and knockwurst. >http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/2511/knockwurst.html > Catch you later, Walter Minne ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 09:55:07 -0400 (EDT) From: brent@ntr.net To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Re: goodbye and thanks Message-Id: <199804121355.JAA28833@rome.ntr.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >Bye guys, and thanks! > >Fran M Goodbye and take care.

Hey!

Western Washington state's weather is much like England's...mild winter/mild summer, C type climate for those into climatology. Interior is another story, though, a bit like the rockies and the midwest combined, but without the tornadoes, I gather. <G> Goodbye to Fran. Good luck where you are moving to. It sounds like a challange that many wouldn't be up for, but since you will enjoy it...my hat's off to you. Peace, Penny ********************************************* Missy: Mommy, will you play with me? Mommy: I need to rest, I just got done cooking dinner and my back hurts.

I had a nice complicated dream last night. Maybe it's because so many 60's and 70's TV shows are being revived as movies, but that's what I dreamt. It's rather hazy, but what I remember seems to be quite funny. The effects were all great, but still all model work. No computer generated effects. However the actors had been "aged" digitally to appear much as they looked at the end of the series. I remember the start quite clearly. It was a slow pan across the floor with buzzers still blaring. Bodies everywhere. Federation guards, Dayna, Soolin, and Blake. Fade. Avon recovering from heavy stun with a very irritated Servalan pacing and furious at him for ruining her plan to trap Blake. >From there my memory gets blury, but somehow Avon escapes with Villa and Orac. They get pursued by an Alien vessel, which somehow managed to get Zen's presence loaded into it's main computer, which they adopt as the new Liberator. Somehow they set a trap for Servalan's brother (either that or she somehow got into the body of a man), who it is revealed set up fatal part of GP and gun down him and all his troops in a near identical scenario as on GP. The movie ends (of course) with Avon grinning. It's odd how the mind works. It made quite a bit of sense until I tried writing it down.
