[Jacqueline Thijsen] Sure: Lost in space is a series of interviews with science fiction fans which focuses on a different series every week. It's on BBC2 every friday after Star Trek. Last week they did the thunderbirds and before that Star Trek. They have interviewed several members of this list and we are now eagerly anticipating that particular show. Could be any time now, so be home at friday! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Jun 1998 02:43:37 PDT From: "Joanne MacQueen" To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Re: Warlord Message-ID: <19980602094338.16004.qmail@hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain With regard to "Warlord", I believe that Deborah Rose is quite right. The Federation troops were very likely to shoot civilians merely out of boredom as for any other reason. Blake, if I remember correctly, says something about how it is typical for the Federation to value things over people in "Countdown", and this seems to be yet another callous example. Having said that, I think that I should introduce myself. My name is Joanne MacQueen, and I've been reading the archived digests for months. I think I should congratulate everyone on the list who has contributed over the past year, for having been so entertaining. I'd been reluctant to join the list due to limited internet access, but I thought now was a good time, due to the fact that I'm about to start in a new position in Sydney shortly (a full-time job - glory hallelujah!), which might just allow me more regular access. Another reason for being reluctant is that I've not seen all of the episodes. With no pay TV access in Newcastle, no screenings since the early-to-mid 1980s, and no videos to buy unless you are prepared to send overseas for them, I've felt at a disadvantage compared to the apparently encyclopedic knowledge of Judith (just to name one). The first episode I saw of the series was "Traitor", and I didn't have the opportunity to see anything of the previous three years of the show until the early 1990's when the ABC Shops started selling the videos. This led to situations like: Taping an episode of The Bill for a family member who had gone out on a Saturday night, and seeing in the end credits that a mugging victim had been played by Jan Chappell. Winds tape back and says, "Oh, so that's basically what Cally looked like!" So, please forgive me if I make any mistakes based on something from an episode I haven't seen. Regards, Jo MacQueen Curtsey while you're thinking what to say. It saves time. -- Lewis Carroll. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Jun 1998 01:13:44 +1000 From: Roger the Shrubber To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] safe space ships Message-Id: <199806021513.BAA26352@budapest.ozonline.com.au> Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Steve R wrote The top ten were: > > 1.

Sure it was fast but it was so poorly maintained & unreliable it nearly got them killed more than once. The Enterprise D would be a great place to live out your life peacefully, and you could hop into the Liberator whenever you felt like having a decent adventure. The Star Destroyers are pretty impressive, but have defensive blind spots that need to be looked at. I'm not sure what the appeal of the Nostromo would be, perhaps somebody could explain why the voters liked it. The Tardis would be great fun but its nav is so unreliable you wouldn't ever see your family & friends again. It's interiors would need some cosmetics for general living purposes for humans. ___________________________________ from Darren r .....

Obviously skip it if you don't. This is from another list. It is supposed to be the definitions of 'love' as given by different personality types. I have inserted the B7 characters who correspond to each type because it makes amusing reading. Oh - and I've put myself in because I'm a raving egoist :-) > ENFJ ***Blake > Love is my decision to share my life, and that decision is always right. > > INFJ ***Cally > Love is my deep, intense, and private decision to share my life, and that > decision is private--but always right, or at least right for *me*. > The pursuit of love is a high and mysterious calling.

I couldn't care less whether my covers are shiny or not as long as they're all the same. I've seen the two together and the difference is going to show up if I have a mixture on my shelf. So far I happen to have been getting shiny, but if they're going to be discontinued in favour of non-shiny and Fab Films can do non-shiny covers for the earlier ones I'll want those. And if we keep irritating them by ringing up about it they may realise how irritating the situation is in the first place.

Don't worry . I cheat sometimes. Having a copy of the Sevencyclopaeia to hand is very useful. Actually, now it's on the web, it's proving to be one of the most popular parts of my page, so I guess others are cheating too . > So, please forgive me if I make any mistakes based on something from an > episode I haven't seen. Don't worry about it. New blood is always welcome. Dive right in. All you really have to remember is that Avon is sexy, Tarrant is pretty, Vila is kinda cute, Gan is undervalued and Gareth Thomas is adorable!

And by gum he was right. No wonder Hoddle thinks he isn't match fit. I enjoyed the episode - its a long time since I saw it last - but I am puzzled about the script: it doesn't seem to have any logical consistency. For example, they are sitting on the bridge discussing why they won't tell Blake about the pursuit ships, and then not long afterwards Blake is down on the planet telling Avon they have to hurry up before the pursuit ships get there. I don't understand why they had the first scene at all. It was as if two people had written the script without properly discussing it with each other.
