I know "me too" posts are inane but Pat Fenech said everything I would
have...if I could have found the words. Wonderful insight into Avon and
Blake!!!
Great reply, Pat!!

This is one of the most telling moments in the series for Avon. I think it's
his one and only completely selfless act. He knew the crew would be safe and
he was prepared to take the consequences. And I'm sure he knew Servalan WOULD
NOT be gentle.

Yipes! I _have_ to unsubscribe-- I'm going to New York in a few days
time... oh, Edith, why did you have to bring up such fascinating topics
just before I go.
My 2 cents for now, and I'll be happy to elaborate on anything if anyone
wants to hear me blather when I get back.
Blake was capable of love/passion-- his feelings toward his cousin were,
well, clear enough to make Jenna _quite_ jealous, and gave Travis plenty
to manipulate.
Jenna and Cally didn't bond... well, there was the human/alien thing
bothering them a little, plus, you knnow, some women don't really get
into that bonding. Part of it's cultural anyway, so an Auron woman would
necessarily make the same kind of chatter and so forth. Well, anyway, I
have had a female best friend for like only the second or maybe third
time in my life-- I've had male best friends a bit too. But mostly I
have very few close friends. Neither Cally nor Jenna seemed really
interested in being very social. (except, hehhe, Jenna wanting to get
sociial with Blake).
Avon was deeply in love with Anna. "She was... important to me." Not
much is that important. I also think he was _starting_ to acknowlege a
deepening of feeling towards Cally. The "It looks like a door and it's
closed" scene was about the only time we see him _really_ seeking out
the society of one of his fellow crew, in order to talk about their
_feelings_. And "Sarcophagus", I think, was in a way about their budding
relationship.
Vila would like to be in love. He almost was in love with Kerril, but
real love takes time, and they didn't have it. He could NOT be in love
with any of the women with Blake's 7. He would like, I think, a
deceptively intelligent party girl who was very tolerant and yet knew
when to kick his butt into gear so he doesn't actually sabotage himself.
Hmmm... Kei of The Dirty Pair comes to mind, if a bit on the
bloodthirsty side.
Maybe after I'm back and resubbed, I can ask everyone if _Soolin_ is
capable of love?

Hi to all!
Fortunately for me, i have a friend who is the assistant manager
at Blockbuster Video ( a chain video retail store in the USA)and so I
have total access to all B7 videos. That was not meant as a boast,
really. In response to Una's query, if she is willing to part with a
great deal of pounds, she ( or anyone else) can check out the BBc
catalogue for North America, which has B7 from time to time. You may
also want to check out PBS (Public Broadcasting System in the United
States)catalog. B7 was shown in many parts of the US through PBS
affilates and they may still be selling the tapes. There are also some
independent chains in the US that will ship videos to you- I will get
the email addys soon.
Edith Spencer.

Vila�s First And Only Puerile Attempt At Poetry
I think that I shall never see a planet hot as Mercury
It burns and fries and fries and bakes, not a place to grill your steaks.
And Cygnus Alpha in the sun might have been a place for fun
But religion�s not my cup of tea. I�m glad that Blake came back for me.
The Liberator is the finest ship, I drink soma �til I trip.
And then they need me for a job, oh, hic! hiccup! Zzzzzzzz.
Peace,
Penny

Anything being sold from the US would be NTSC tapes, though, and hence not
of much use to the Brits (except for the rabid collector who feels the need
to have NTSC copies of B7 just because.)
Of course, I've considered picking up the PAL versions myself, but I can at
least rationalise an excuse for that -- the higher resolution is tempting.
I really *don't* need multiple copies of the same show, though, so shall
probably stick with my NTSC set.

To all:
Hello again. Just starting out- I did mean to imply in my "sweet
love on the liberator" post anything about eros, or sexual love. I hope
I did not offend anyone! My interest was more in the Agapos,"platonic"
love as we would call it. By that token, I do not mean to dissuade those
who think it may have been possible for an erotic attraction to have
developed between these people, particularly in a atmosphere as intense
as the Liberator. But on the other hand, in an atmosphere like that,
where you can get to identify people by smell alone, such desperate,
close quarters can bring on feelings of both agapos and disdain.
Perhaps that is part what the crew felt for each other- they would
risk their lives for each other, and yet when together, can't stand each
other.
Weirdly, a lot like my family.
Edith Spencer

Hi all
I have really enjoyed all the posts that members have made, I have been
reciving them for a few days now and all I can say is "wow" lots of
great stuff !
I became a fan of B7 several years ago when it aired on Connecticut
public television, I have only seen episodes from Space Fall to Killer
so i guess I missed out on a whole lot of great scifi !!
I would be interested in any B7 resources for video's fan mag's and
collector items here in the USA so if you know of any please e-mail me.
Thanks...WAS
