Anyone know which colour of Scorpio gun clips were for which type of ammunition?
I've a feeling that the continuity was appalling in this area, but I'd be
interested if there was any actual agreement between episodes.

I believe the colour coding is listed in the Horizon Technical Manual,
though this is hardly the most reliable source in the world. (My copy seems
to have disappeared. If I bothered to clean up my flat I'd probably find
it, but I'm having far too much fun playing with VistaPro 3.)
AFAIK, there is only one occasion where ammunition type is specifically
mentioned, in Sand, where 'percussion bullets' had to be used.
The most obvious continuity flaw, at least regarding S4 publicity shots, is
guns being fired whilst clearly not having any clip inserted at all.
The usual clip type in use was the all-black one, which I think was meant to
be the laser. Which makes me wonder if there is any good reason why a laser
should make a loud whoomfing noise when fired. Probably the same reason
spaceship engines growl menacingly when they lumber across the screen.

I'm about to reprint Phoenix again (new computers,
upgraded everything in the software department, new
bugs lying in wait in all probability), and I just
wanted to ask those who own a printed copy - what
colour(s) are the pages? Narrelle's site keeps making
me think I need coloured paper to do it justice!

An interesting viewpoint which is not without its own appeal, I must say.
I'm sorry that my crack about Coltrane in leather (which was
a joke; I'd just been reading Penny's comments about Christopher
Walken) has obscured my actual intent.
The reason that I'd want to retain Avon's felinity on the big
screen is because of body language and physical mannerisms,
in order to have consistent characterization, *not* because I
want the character to drip sex appeal all over the place. From
my own point of view, 'Paul Darrow's physical appeal' is at
best a strictly acquired taste. What I admire about Avon is his
personality, attitudes, and actions; those are the things I'd want
to see carried over onto a feature film.
Therefore what I'd be looking for in an actor to play Avon is the
ability to match emotional range (from minimalist work with eyes
and mouth all the way to occasional scenery chewing, please),
similar style and tone of dialogue delivery, facial expressions,
body language, and mannerisms -- I want Avon's *intensity* to
stay intact. And then, as with any of the characters, I'd want the
new actor to go beyond what he's given to work with and make
the character his own in some way -- not a lifeless, slavish copy.
OTOH, I am convinced that the bodies we go through life in are
a large part of who we are -- they affect how we are perceived
by others, and therefore how we perceive ourselves and the rest
of the world; to pretend otherwise is naive. IMHO, an Avon who
grew up in a Robbie Coltrane body would be a significantly
different person -- and quite possibly unrecognizable as the Avon
we see in the aired show. If you're going to change a character
that much, I frankly don't see much point in using him at all.
I'd prefer to find an actor who can give a convincing rendition
of the Avon we're all used to, not redefine him into something
unrecognizable; and then hopefully each viewer would find in
the large-screen version the same things they found appealing
in the original portrayal.
***
And while I'm on the subject of the relationship between the
body and the personality, is it too much to hope that someone's
written a good gen AU in which Cally and Avon's consciousnesses
were reversed at Ultraworld? Does anyone know if such a story
exists, and where I might find it?
***
Grins,
Mistral

Well... there have been a few gen AUs on that subject, quite
reasonable ones, but none of them hit the spot for me. The most
well-known one is probably "Trust, Like the Soul" (by Jean Lorrah?),
which was for me, a mix of the poignant and the disquieting. I'd rate
it M for implied sex, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as completely
"gen".
Then there's "Cross-Switch" by Ros Williams, in Amare 2, which was
okay.
But as I said, none of them hit the spot. I guess it's a very
difficult story to write, because not only is Avon and Cally's
characterisation vital, but the completely unprecedented situation
gives its own difficulties.
Or maybe it's just that gender-swapping makes me uncomfortable?

Now on space city I have been nattering on about my new 'crusade': i.e. to
encourage B7 fans to watch 'Lexx'.
(digression - that reminds me - I've just read a scanned copy of some
Canadian TV guide which describes Lexx as 'Blakes Seven written in Heroin
withdrawal' - which is an amazingly precise description)
but that aside. One of the UK lexx fans has a very funny site called
'LexxPark'. These are very accurate SouthPark style graphics of various lexx
episodes.
check out www.lexxpark.cjb.net
What i want is for some computer graphics genius on this list to do the same
thing for B7. Check the site out, and imagine how you could do the same. I'd
love to see it if anyone has the skill.
I've made a crap effort myself, I've downloaded the 'Oh My God, he killed
Kai' picture and I'm clumsily trying to turn it into ... well, I'm sure you
can guess.
But please, somebody else who's better at this than me give it a go.
Alison
PS - the surgeon general has determined that anyone posting binary pictures
to this list will be eviscerated, so let me make it clear that I'm not
encouraging anyone to do so. If you do make any put them on a site and tell
us where to look. Sorry if you already knew that.

Canadian / German SF actually. I think the first four episodes have been
shown in the US as 'Tales from a parallel dimension', but opinion seems to
be divided on this. I won't take up bandwidth raving about it, there are
loads of new web sites about it anyway.
quick B7 conversion guide
Lexx = The Liberator and Zen
Stanley Tweedle = Vila (without any doubt)
Kai = Avon (at a pinch, and with long hair)
790 = Orac on viagra
Zev / Xev = multipurpose babe I'm afraid
and that's it, I'm not going to bore you all any longer with my obsession.

*g* It's so fun to see synchronicity at work. I was not able to fall
asleep last night because I kept thinking about who to cast in all the
different roles, and I kept trying to throw Xena/Hercules characters in
there. Glad to see you got it to work. :)
The list I finally came up with last night that allowed me to sleep:
Blake: Kevin Kline
Avon: John Malcovich
Vila: John Cusak (I did so like that one)
Cally: Marisa Tomei (my fiancee suggested Marina Sirtis and I had to
smack him)
Jenna: Andrea Thompson
Gan: Michael Dorn (Though Kevin Sorbo was a very close second)
Dayna: Angela Bassett
Tarrant: Val Kilmer
Soolin: Lucy Lawless
Servalin: Glenn Close
Travis: Hudson Leick

He'll do Tarrant. I got interrupted by work before I got to season 3
and 4. Don't really know who to pick for Dayna and Soolin, though.

I was looking at 'The Web' yesterday, and thought that the scene
with the dead Decima, where the other Decimas are gathered around, one of
them in tears, would have been a fitting time and place for 'Oh my God!

Heavens! Stick to white! By far the easiest to read. My usual reaction to web
sites with coloured backgrounds is to switch them off and one of my biggest pet
hates is magazines that do jazzy backgrounds behind stories that I am trying
hard to read. Crisp contrast of text is very important.

I only recall one and it was adult. 'Trust Like the Soul' which was okay, but
not brilliant.
I started one once, but ran out of time/momentum - mind you, it would probably
have been slash, so that's no help either.

One of the reasons I find Animals irritating is that it has just enough

Sounds like TV Zone's description, from an interview
they printed last year. I think I used it as a quote
at the end of a post last year, after I bought that
particular issue. That <much eye-rolling> would've
been a couple of months after the cover date!
It's an intriguing description, not that I can vouch
for its accuracy - not without pay TV, anyway. A bit
like B7 itself - none of the free-to-air stations want
a piece of it. If it comes to that, Neverwhere hasn't
been screened by one of the local networks either.
<sigh> It seems my taste in television programmes
isn't quite commercial enough.
