Gosh, I'm reading a schlock horror book called 'Daemonic' which is dedicated to Roger Corman, and is a bit of a tribute to him (the evil film director character is a bit reminiscent). Interestingly there are seven morally ambiguous 'heroes' in the book, and the three evil henchmen are called 'Payne', 'Aikin' (groan) and 'Travis'. So perhaps someone got there first. Other interesting plot point in that story, the cowardly electronics expert in the story, who carries a case of gadgets around with him, turns out to be... something rather more nasty, and not as cowardly and foolish as he first appeared.

It is pretty awful to be honest, but then you could say that is post-modern irony. Always a handy get-out. I can't remember the author, but he is 'of a certain age' (ie about my age) which always makes me think that B7 refs are deliberate (though they aren't very important in this book). I think that people tend to drop 'Travis' in as a name, because it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb the way Blake or Avon would. B7 is so camp and knowing people tend to pop in a reference or two as a camp and knowing wink to the reader IMHO.

Yeah, it might have ended up camp, gaudy, mannered and cheap-looking. Perish the thought.

I prefer the subtle kind of reference that makes you do a double take, and even then you're not quite sure that it's deliberate. Whereas Full Frontal Murder has a bit of overkill, and distracts one from staying in the story.

Some great model shots of the Liberator, the zombie like workers, Avon struggling to stay awake and Vila and Orac saving the day. I tend to watch this episode quite regularly.

I'm sorry, folks, but the name is the only thing I can't get over about Travis's character. I mean, TRAVIS? Doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of men and all that. Sounds more like a stoner name.
