Thanks! I'm glad to know people enjoyed them while they lasted. As a matter
of fact, I have just HTMLised them and put them on my site at
http://www.alpha.ndirect.co.uk/blakes7. This is assuming my ISP has
recovered from its sudden aversion to my login name. But if you want back
issues, that will be the place to look.

Showing that he's far from a cold blooded killer, which Powerplay seemed to
hint at. There he didn't have too many qualms about killing the Federation
troops on the Liberator.<
Tarrant as the 'nice boy' doesn't work for me. (Sorry, Carol.) Ironically,
I find his character most convincing as the ruthless, backstabbing
Federation Officer in Powerplay and I think it's a pity the writers didn't
stick to that. For one thing, it would have been fun seeing Avon forced to
team up with a man as heartless and ruthless as he himself pretends to be.
:-) IMO that would have gone well with the intention for S3 of showing more
of Avon's human side.

I didn't mean that Sarcophagus was boringly obvious (it's grown on me over
the years), just that I was being boringly obvious in suggesting that, if
we were trying to work out which episode was made because they finished
another one early, it was the likeliest bet.

I've also been lurking for a bit. To read the messages, right click on it,
then press the details tab, click on message source, and it will all be
there.
I'm 21, and I just started watching B7 with the BBC repeats, although I only
saw about half of them. My mum, however, used to watch it, and I think has
seen them all. Although doesn't remember much of them I think. Except
Servalen and Avon, who, I suppose are hard to forget. All I need now is a
job after graduating and I'll have some money, with which to buy the videos
with. I've read the transcripts, but they're not the same. You can't laugh
at the special effects, and actors sideburns for a start.

Does anyone have an idea why - instead of going through all the trouble of
getting rid of all the unnecessary weight in the shuttle - Avon and Villa
don't just use the tachyon funnel to blow up the planet? After all, if the
planet would be gone, the gravity problem would be gone too...
I also thought that Avon, who is usually such a suspicous character, was
very easily convinced of the genuinity of the tachyon funnel. I mean, I
could also make a machine like that, with TV and a VCR, and a video of a
planet blowing up. But if I told people that it was a very powerfull
weapon, I know they wouldn't believe me!

Maybe the explosion of the planet would have been great enough to also
destroy the shuttle, or Egrorian may have set a "prime directive" routine
into the funnel so that it was impossible to turn against him.
Your right though, Avon does seem to be easily convinced of the power of the
weapon. I guess with Avon's background in electronics and computers, and
with Orac's research, he had enough information to believe Egrorian could
create this weapon.
