After posting my Buffy as B7 cast suggestions, I turned of my 'puter and
went to bed. No sooner had I turned off the light than I realised I'd
missed out the irritating Nicholas Brendon who plays Xander. Instantly
Tarrant flashed into my mind. So, I'm back at the keyboard to share this
with you all.

Ergg. I suggest a change here, IMHO. Head would make a lovely
*Avon*, but Boreanaz is not strong enough to play opposite him
either way. Make Boreanaz Travis, Marsters Blake. Or make
Marsters Vila (he does a delicious whiny drunk), and Seth Green
Blake. Love the idea of Alyson Hannigan as Cally, though,
particularly the Cally of 'Time Squad'.
Just IMHO,
Mistral

Yes, I can see that working. Something else that might be
fun is Boreanaz = Blake, Marsters = Avon, Anthony Stewart
Head = Travis (balances Blake and Avon a little better and
gives everybody's favourite librarian a chance to play
menacing, which he does *awfully* well.)

Inspired, that. Also, I can totally see Charisma Carpenter as Soolin.

Ah, yes. People with long memories would remember me rabbiting on
about Oliver Sampson (of VR.5, played by Anthony Stewart Head) and
Avon, and how similar those characters were. Those who have only seen
ASH as Giles wouldn't know, but he can certainly play Tall, Dark and
Broody. Not to mention mysterious and sarcastic.

dangerous?)

Yep, Willow as Cally is good. And Buffy as Jenna - kick some ass!
But I don't think Seth Green fits in anywhere. He's definitely not a
Vila! And he isn't intense enough to be a Blake. In fact, I don't
think there's anyone from the Buffy cast who could be a Blake.

Well, I *have* seen it, and the description is still intriguing...
because I can't really imagine what Heroin withdrawal would be like...
My *personal* description of Lexx was that it was "like _The Fifth
Element_ only darker, and with an M rating". 11/10 for style,
IMHO. At least, the original 4-part mini-series was; the actual
follow-up series I don't like as much. Probably due to (a) less scope
for interesting plot (b) lack of story arc (c) more emphasis on the
"adult" (they've visited brothels at least twice so far!) and (d) a
major character replacement (I don't like the new Xev as much as the
old Zev).
As for its B7-ishness, I guess that would count in the following ways:
- dark humour
- the occassional dark twist
- a crew of misfits with the best ship in space, which they stole
(Kathryn immediately realizes that HHGG fits that too.)
- they're on the run from an evil government (in the mini-series)
(in the series, it's more like Season 3 -- nobody's really chasing
them, and they don't really have a goal)
- one of the characters (Stanley Tweedle) is a lecherous coward (but
Vila has much more appeal, IMHO, at least being a lecherous coward
isn't the only thing Vila is)
- one of the characters (Kai) is Tall, Dark, Handsome, Taciturn, Dangerous,
and always ends up rescuing everybody else after they went off and
did the foolish things.
- one of the characters is a beautiful woman who theoretically can
kick ass, but gradually dwindles into just being a babe.
However, with a bit of compare and contrast...
Vila, as I said, is more appealing than Stanley Tweedle.
Kai is just as appealing (IMHO) as Avon, but his motivations are
completely different. Indeed, he spends half his time, lately, saying
"I have no motivation to..." His other common refrain is that he has
no future.
Zev is feisty, but with no skills except sex appeal.
790's only resemblance to Orac is that he's mechanical, mouthy, and
had to be carried everywhere.

If we were seriously casting a movie, yes, you're absolutely
right. In the interests of using Buffy cast, however, Seth
Green at least does both idealistic and stubborn quite well.

What about if they could graphically enhance the old B7 film stock and
impose really good graphic effects? It could be done, and no doubt it will
get easier to do.
Would that be heresy on a par with colorizing (sic) 'Casablanca'?
or what?

An excellent comparison Kathryn. I think I agree with everything you said
there, except I like the second series rather more than you do.
BTW I take 'Heroin Withdrawal' to mean dark, weird, uncomfortable and
hallucinatory in a kind of yucky affectless way. Like Cronenburg or
Trainspotting.
What I like in both series is the idea of belonging to a group of complete
weirdoes whom nobody else can understand but who are actually vastly
superior to everyone they meet - so very similar to the experience of being
on this list.

Shouldn't be a problem with all those Amazons swinging through the trees...
How about:
Dayna Danielle Cormack (Ephiny) - no special reason except that they're
both fairly important and sympathetic characters.
Soolin Vicky Pratt (Cyane, the Amazon Queen who does that combat
undressing in Adventures in the Sin Trade).

Mistral gave an interesting account of what's she's looking for in
re-casting, concluding:

>unrecognizable; and then hopefully each viewer would find in

I think my attitude is probably born out of the conviction that there's no
point hoping for a faithful recreation, because we'll never get one. So
I'd rather do something that's a variation on the original and doesn't
pretend to be anything else. And probably Alison is right, and I'd do
better to go and look for something else "in the spirit of", like this
Lexx.
At the same time, I know a lot of people are hoping for something
worthwhile out of this film, and I don't want them to be disappointed.

Oh yes, that's a nice one (both the suggestion and the combat

I think Willem Dafoe would make a good Avon. He's got the slinkiness down
to an art, can play either good or bad characters, and the most important
thing is that he can carry off the leather.

Definitely 'what'. I think it'd be a laugh. Although part of the fun if B7
is the animations and the slow-fighting. And the flares. And the
overwhelming sense of it being the 1970s.

Can't help but add a "me too" here. I will never forgive the cancellation
of VR5 just as it found what worked best within the format and got really
_interesting_. Every now and then I have to bitch about that to somebody.
And Giles as a character isn't a patch on Oliver. Oh, and I did like the
earring, though normally I don't on men!

Which one of the brothers was he - that one from the "English patient" or
the one from "Shakespeare in love". I don't like them both, though. You are

Try:
Dayna (Jennifer Sky?) Emerys, Amazon warrior (the fiesty redhead in
Endgame)
Soolin (actress for?) Ephiny, Amazon warrior (the curly-haired blonde
queen)
But for Soolin, Aphrodite has her "snotty attitude" so if Gabrielle
played Jenna, and evil Callisto played Servalan, then ... No, wait! The
evil Amazon queen-become-god plays Servalan. The good Amazon queen plays
Soolin. No, wait! Ares plays Travis 1 and Casear plays Travis 2. Xena
plays Dayna while Gabby plays Soolin, No, wait! (Now I'm confused) This
show has so many wonderful characters...
re:
> Travis 1: Xena, Travis 2: Callisto.
This is a hilarious exaggeration of how much smaller second season
Travis is, yet we are expected to believe it's the same man. It could
only have been funnier had Travis 2 been a blond. (or a blonde woman???)

P.S. I *love* this line up, as Xena ranks only second to B7 in my book.

Can't we peek at it on your web page?
If not, I'll take a private gander.

I'm glad Kathryn could dredge up the titles, but I quite like these
stories, for they are usually funny. The part I recall from years back
is Cally's crabby reaction over finding the terrible condition of her
new body, with stiffness, aches and pains (that bad back, ya kno) and
crossly lecturing Avon on taking care of his body.
As we know, *only* Cally could get away with crossly lecturing Avon! :-)
Far funnier, tho, would be a story wherin Avon and Vila get their brains
swapped. Has anyone recast Ultraworld into this possibility?
> Kathryn Andersen sez: (glad she's not a man)
Yeah, but do you *really* want to be relegated to teleport duty all the
time?

I was pondering earlier why these cold characters are so attractive. It's
certainly not a feature women generally praise in real-life men. 'Oooh my
new boyfriend is so lacking in normal human warmth', 'You lucky thing!'
I think it's that Avon -say- isn't only rather distant, he's also crucially
*on your side* and shows it by regularly rescuing you from death. Or one
imagines he would anyway.

It's very dangerous to say quotable things like that when I'm working on
the next volume of _Tales from Space City_.

He's 'The English Patient' Fiennes. The other one can act, but he has a
funny chin.

That's one of my dreams. I'd love it! The same ships, but real space battles.
I'd also like to see the computer graphics improved. eg. when they are
studying the layout of bases or looking at data on screens.
I wouldn't touch the sets, wobbles or no wobbles, nor Scorpio's take-off
sequence, but the rest I would *love* to see.

I've been playing with a few second segment for a long time. Perhaps I'll
post the unfinished effort later.
