One good thing about the new PCs at work is the fact
that now I can listen to CDs while I'm working. The
disc in D drive at the moment is Suzanne Vega's first
album.
Now that the scene has been set, I'm asking those of
you familiar with that album whether you think Travis
or Blake would be better as the Soldier in "The Queen
and The Soldier". I can't decide. The line "He said I
want to live as an honest man" suggests Blake, but
without it, Travis seems a much better choice. The
trouble is, both of them seem to say "I am not
fighting for you anymore", but Travis says it to
Servalan, and Blake is saying it to the Federation.
Hmm.

Don't know the song, but what you quote sounds like Travis
to me, Joanne. I believe he saw himself as an honest man, and
much of the rest of Space Command as hypocrites. I'm thinking
of Trial as the most obvious example; his diatribe against the judges,
and his line that goes something like: "We weren't all hypocrites,
were we, Par?" If the rest of the song strongly suggests, Travis,
this doesn't seem like an anomaly to me.
Just IMHO,

There's a point. I'm listening again as I type this,
and it does fit, just so long as you apply it only to
the second Travis, not the first. To explain that:
Travis 1 is a soldier, and he knows the political
games going on. Travis 2 is a soldier, and he knows
the political games going on. But the first is willing
to play them, especially if he has the upper hand, or
there's a way to gain it. The second is a
disillusioned man, like the soldier in the song, sick
of the games, sick of their players (possibly even of
himself).
Lines like "And I've wondered who's the woman for whom
we all kill", and "But I've seen more battles lost
than I have battles won/And I've got this intuition,
says it's all for your fun/And now will you tell me
why?" tend to reinforce the idea. Travis 1 probably
wouldn't ask - he'd know. Travis 2 seems to have lost
this, raising the question of what happened to him
between series 1 and series 2 ("therapy" sessions? A
major head injury? A major defeat that not only killed
many of his troops but threatened his own life? One
final straw of hypocrisy?).
Travis 2 is a different person to Travis 1, in more
than the sense that another actor had taken on the
eyepatch. It's a little bit difficult to see the
character played by Stephen Greif skulking around
spaceports for lack of "official" resources (and there
I mean he'd've stayed back at headquarters until the
time came to inspect the merchandise. He'd've tracked
Docholli from afar). Too patrician. Too much of an
officer following his rising star. Travis 2 is trying
to stop his star from setting so rapidly, after
Servalan's disapproval cast him down from the
firmament. <smile> So to speak. But he's not so hungry
that he'll do anything anymore. He seems to have lost
whatever it was that drove him, apart from his hate
for Blake.
In Trial, he is undoubtedly honest, because it appears
that he doesn't care about the consequences of
questioning the authority of his superiors any longer.
After Trial, one might argue, comes disillusionment
with his fellow human beings, let alone the
politicians he spent so long courting while trying to
do his job.
I can just see Servalan looking at Travis 2, "with an
arrogant eye", if it comes to that, refusing to take a
metaphorical crown from her head. Like Travis 1, her
star is rising.
Regards
Joanne
(wondering where her lunch hour and the words to
express half of what she wanted to say went)
And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange".

Plase wait a couple of weeks before discussing this any more, I
haven't seen the end of season four yet :-) But, yes, a fifth season
have been announced. You can probably find more info at http://www.whoosh.org/

It's just after Xena has been peeking at Cyane and an unnamed amazon
in the sweatlodge and fallen through the roof. X and C stand looking
at each other for a moment or two, then C starts ripping Xena's
clothes off and putting them on herself very, very quickly. It really
has to be seen, I can't describe it properly.

Wow--I thought I was the only one who'd thought of this! I always pictured
Travis as the Soldier. I don't think Blake had the emotional connection to
Servalan that Travis (or Avon) did.

I did think briefly of Lila, but with Gabby as Servalan that sets up a
rather odd dynamic... Anyway, I thought it should be an Amazon.
Pat P suggested:
>(Jennifer Sky?) Emerys, Amazon warrior (the fiesty redhead in Endgame)
She occurred to me too (though won't have done to Calle as he hasn't seen
that episode yet), but she seems too minor a guest. I'm more and more
certain it's Danielle Cormack - think of Ephiny's first episode, where
she's young and aggressive and out to kill Centaurs. Or imagine Dayna was
pregnant by a Sarran who was horribly murdered. Yes! Dayna was pregnant
by Lauren!

I hadn't noticed his chin... My take on Joseph was "the sort of good looks

But it's a bit like the stereotyped pneumatic blonde - could be a

I've been thinking about B7 characters I would like to have seen as
crew-members. (Very non-canonic thoughts.)
My chief nominee, if things had turned out a little differently, is Kasabi,
from "Pressure Point." Interesting power interplays possible between her
and Blake, the two of them and Avon. Any takers?

Well, he has certainly played cold _roles_ (I don't know about the _man_.)
He evidently played a passionate Hamlet on Broadway, and his T.E. Lawrence
(in "A Dangerous Man") had fires underneath.
> > Or was this the point you were making, Ann? ;)
In a way. I see Avon a bit like Neil Burnside (the part Roy Marsden played
on the Sandbaggers"). The warmth is there but buried way down. Both are
very intelligent. Both can be nasty and snarling, and even ruthless and
cynical. (Burnside is much nastier than Avon.) But there _is_ something
attractive, there is a promise of warmth . . . and that's what I thought
Ralph Fiennes might bring out.
> I was pondering earlier why these cold characters are so attractive.
I've been wondering the same thing. (At least in regard to Avon &
Burnside.) It's also the wit, the intelligence, the feeling of something
held back.
If anyone wants to pursue an "Avon-Burnside" thread, I'd be delighted.

Hi, I'm back after a minor leave of absence.

it obvious?
Blake--Skipper

Cally--Mary Anne
Jenna--Mrs. Howell

Evil, Mistral, truly evil. Especially since I can now see a story taking
shape in my mind. It would be par for the course in Sunnydale, and it
would also explain a lot about the leather loving, vampire Willow.
Of course, Avon would probably scare the Sunnydale vampires more than the
mayor does. . . .

Unfortunately he doesn't seem to know when _not_ to act cold. He played
Steed without any of the humour that made the original so likeable. I
suppose that could be partly the director's fault, though, if you wanted to
be generous.

OK. I deliberately gave nothing away, as every season ends with a

Oh yes, *now* I remember. Quite a trick, that.

You want power plays?
How about Avalon, having very different ideas from Blake over how to run
a Revolution? Stand offs between her tinyness and his largeness would be
amusing: a true battle of wills.
I'd like to see Tyce Sarkoff join up cuz I can really see her and Avon
going at it.
(no, not that way: verbal sparring to send the sarcatic-o-meter off the
scale. well, ok: that way, too)
I'd love to see Tyce and Cally moving as a matched set of lean mean
fighting machines.
With Kick-ass Kasabi as their strike squad leader, of course.
The pleasant young doctor/assistant from research station RT-19 (?)
would lighten the atmosphere. And certainly the women of Blakes 7 could
use the attentions of a crew man who is not blind to their obvious
charms.
i.e. "Helloooo. This ship is full of pretty girls!")
Blake: "What'd you say? I've got tangled curls?"
Avon: "What? The circutry's being torn by squirrels?!?!
Vila: "Eh? You've brewed a batch of pink squirrels?

I think that like Eli, the "Journeys to India" healer who keeps popping
up, Emerys is going to join Autolycus, Solmonious, Discord, etc. as an
occasional regular. She's got Dayna's precipitous spirit. (or perhaps
she should be cast as Tarrant, if we take Calles' suggestion for an all
female crew? - well, but we need a few men to operate the teleport.)
Sadie Hawkins Day organizer,
Pat P
P.S. This is one area where Blakes 7 could have been improved: letting
us meet them again so we know what happened to some of the stronger
supporting characters we meet: Tyce Sarkoff, Avalon, Bek, Kasabi's
daughter, etc. hmmmm. Trying to think of a few more, but it seems
they're all dead. Our crew is mad, bad and verrrrry dangerous to know!

So does that mean that Avon *is* really a Jew, like Leah suggested a
couple of years ago? <grin>

Were any of the other Australians on this list
watching that thing on spying shown on ABC last night?
The English translation of the Russian spy's methods
sounded like someone with the initials P and D, but
I'm not sure. No credits were given for it at the end
of the programme, or, at least, not that I saw. I'd
like to believe it was, but two jawas walked past me
on my way to the bus stop after work. There is no
punchline <smile> but I did find myself in a state of
disbelief for the evening.
Can anyone help with identifying that voice?
Regards
Joanne

<snicker> I could get really excited (well, for an INTP anyway)
about an all B7/Buffy crossover zine. Anybody else?

Maybe so, but Willow is probably adopted; can't see Avon
choosing to answer to Ira Rosenberg. Nor can I picture him
with Willow's mom, who is, IIRC, a total space cadet.

Willow (as in the character) could not do the irony/sarcasm that helps to
define Avon.

I am hoping the term "vampire Willow" is not an indication of things to
come???
(and please don't tell me if it is) Australia is only starting season three
.....bugger now I'm going to be worrying about Willow and I'm just getting
over
the fact she has cut her hair! :)

But Will does irony all the time; just not with the nasty
edge that Avon has. If Willow were his long-lost daughter,
we could think of her as a younger, more innocent, female
Avon--one who hasn't been knocked around so much.
She has gotten gradually edgier since day one, don't you
think? (Has anybody Myers-Briggsed the Buffy gang?
I could see Willow as INTP.)

As one Willow fan to another, Dave, just relax and enjoy
the show. Whatever happens (and I'm not saying either
way) you are gonna love it.
