The Star Trek special effect looked like a beam in the transporter room (and I seem to recall the original aim was to have a beam SFX to the planet) - presumably the origin of the phrase. As B7 deliberately avoide ST terminology as a rule - eg. force wall for shield - I think the usage was an accident. (there might well have been copyright implications in any case.)

Blake (the Prince) has been hideously transformed (scarred eye, general appearance of a Federation supporter) by unknown parties (probably a very ticked off smuggler who'd waited long enough for him to ask her out). He lives in a rather spooky castle in the middle of nowhere (no explanations needed, right?) and is waiting for Someone to come a deliver him from his curse. Tarrant comes along, playing the father's role by having his life saved and being allowed to stay in the enchanted castle (we are not going with the Disney version here [although anyone who wants to refer to Deva & co. as Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts has my permission to do so]). Things Don't Go Right and Tarrant receives (he thinks) a chance to save his life by making a trade for Avon (which [oh, gee, how did this happen?] makes him Beauty, doesn't it?). "Oh, good," thinks Blake, "Avon will see the truth and trust me, rescuing me from this awful curse. Of course, I'll also have to put up with a lot of sarcastic comments but, after I explain I was waiting for him to get me out of this mess, everything will be all right (and maybe I will aske Jenna out, just to keep something like this from happening again)." Which just goes to show, when it comes to fairy tales, casting the right people in the right parts is everything if you want a happy ending.

Interesting! I've been trying to work out a version of B & B with Servalan and Travis; thought about Servalan and Avon and discarded it. Maybe I could make it work with Servalan as both? Hm.

I was actually quite surprised that with all the pre-war resources of the Federation, that they couldn't get a system that worked. Maybe they got close, but the intergalactic war cut them off.

If he were in an active rebel state, he might not have wanted to give them his best effort. Avon may have been looking for ways to make a buck from the project and only had limited interest in its success. OTOH, he may have had a boss who got his job strictly through connections rather than ability, who kept shooting down his suggestions (the ones he didn't try to take credit for but then implimented in the wrong way, because he didn't understand them, and then tried to put the blame on Avon). Hmm, and could this guy's name have been Chesku? Either that or Dogbert. And did Avon decide hard work was not its own reward about this time and start trying to break into Chesku's bank?

Nice to know they still think it will be recognised after all these years. That set me to thinking, why the Telegraph? It is (or tries to be) a fairly highbrow sort of paper, and Blake's 7 was often derided as being a kid's show. Thinking back on it, B7 was usually scheduled in the UK opposite Coronation Street, about the most popular soap opera of the time, so since this was in the days before video recorders were common you had to watch either one or the other. Second TV sets were fairly rare then too, compared with these days. So maybe in general the working classes watched Corrie, and the middle classes watched B7? I don't know, but it was just a thought.

But privacy for Federation prisoners? Doesn't seem to me >something the administration would go for. I entirely agree. I never thought the opaque wall was for the comfort of the prisoners. IMO it was there for the comfort of those working in the trial area. Those would mostly be higher officials, who wouldn't want to be exposed to the dregs of society being locked in there any more than absolutely necessary. The setup with the walls ensured that they only had to see a prisoner when one of them happened to be talking to his lawyer or when he was on trial. The transportation holding cells were elsewhere and guarded only by Federation guards, who would be a lot less squeamish about having to see the prisoners. I didn't see any officials wandering around there. Jacqueline -------------------------------- End of blakes7-d Digest V00 Issue #231 **************************************
