Tarrant would have had to stop bullying Vila for a start, or else face the wrath of Kerrill. Avon would have another person to verbally spar with (much as he did with Vila). Of course, it would have caused quite a few problems, as Tarrant would not have been able to accept Kerrill prefering Vila to him. Now we have Kerrill as well as Jarvik and Dorian as crew members.

I see Tarrant as a lot more secure than this, obviously. And I recall from the episode that it was Tarrant who gave Vila some solitary time to discuss his options with Kerrill.

Thats true, that was thoughtfull of him. But it was only a very brief meeting that he had with her. If she lived on board the Liberator, things would have been different.

The GOOD NEWS, is they know they made a mistake and plan to correct it for Monday's schedule and will broadcast Warlord. The final episode, Blake will be broadcast next Saturday the 17th .... in synch with our Pacific Northwest B7 Bash. (Contact me or Penny on this list if you would like to join us!) The BAD NEWS is next week's broadcast will be the last time KBTC runs Blake's 7. They've looped it through three times in succession and want to put it on hiatus for a bit. The GOOD NEWS is they'll be "premiering" (I guess a premiere for them at least in the fact it will be the first time they're airing it) "Star Cops." First as part of a Dr. Who/Star Cops marathon on January 24th (you know they'll be asking for Pledges that night!) and when they broadcast the first episode again on January 31st. The BAD NEWS is they intend to broadcast "A Science Odyssey," a PBS special the following weekend. The GOOD NEWS is that entire Star Cops series will begin broadcasting the week of February 14.

One SPAM message is like one cancer cell; leave it alone and it will grow into a malign tumour that will choke all the life out of the net. It would be like watching TV where every hour had 50 minutes of advertising, and 10 minutes of program. That's what the SPAMmers would like to do, if they could get away with it.

London Bridge: Doesn't the London's flight deck look like the one from "Mission to Destiny" (minus the corpse)? I suppose all freighters would have similar design (even if the Ortega looked like a turtle on the outside instead a flying shoe box like the London). This would explain the many guest appearances of the London in later episodes ("Horizon," for example): all Federation freighters are based on the same model. And all planet surfaces look alike from orbit. How lucky for the stock footage archive. Do you know who I am?: Raiker knows who Blake is but (apparently) doesn't recognize him on sight. I think Avon recognizes either the name or face since he insinuates himself into Blake's group as soon as he can or at least as soon as Blake is there to see. Either that or Blake is giving off Alpha Male vibes that don't carry through my TV. Jenna Stannis, Space Pilot: The way she takes that hit from Raiker is one of the things that kept me watching the series. She knows her business, knows what to expect from a bully like Raiker, and maintains her integrity. I imagine her response to Raiker is a riff on the word "hard"... On the other hand, so to speak, she does stick her hand in the sealing gel while explaining that it goes solid in seconds. Rebel at heart: Although she sounds less than enthusiastic about Blake's plans in "Time Squad," I think it stems from suddenly being more closely involved than she had been before. Running guns or whatever she was doing that brought her in contact with Avalon isn't the same as being on the front lines at someone else's discretion. I don't think she is ever in fundamental disagreement with Blake, though. In the computer room, she's like Mulder: she wants to believe. Jenna and Vila: I love the joking after Raiker leaves. Vila: Now Vila, if he'd been made the offer, would've hopped into Raiker's bed without a look back. Vila is happy to sell anyone out at any time, long-term friendship or not. Not just to save his own skin (like stepping out of the way as Raiker is selecting victims), which is understandable, but just to make life easier for himself. He also blows the escape attempt. Blake may blame himself, but it was Vila's fault. But if the escape had succeeded, Blake and the others wouldn't have been sent over to the Liberator. Missing in action: Where's Paura? Ay yai yai yai: Veela? Nova: Somewhere in fandom, I hear, there's a letter written from Blake to Nova's mother, Mrs. Caine, informing her of her son's death...I think Nova must have a distant ancestor who fought in World War 1...Someone on AOL referred to Nova as the first man in space to be moussed to death. -------------------------------- End of blakes7-d Digest V98 Issue #11 *************************************
