So true. One of the most fascinating things about Vila is his chameleon
changes of attitude. It's almost as if he's fighting himself about which
is the real Vila. We see him heroically rescuing Tarrant (and being willing
to go back down for Cally) at the beginning of "Rescue," then a bit later
he doesn't seem concerned that Tarrant has gone missing, though he
was supposed to be keeping an eye on Tarrant.
Of course the true V/T fan realizes that Vila is trying to deny his
deep feelings for Tarrant when he behaves that way. ;-)

Well, for Tarrant anyway. :) I love how Avon stands at Tarrant's shoulder
when Scorpio is falling to GP. And how Tarrant instinctively knows
that Avon is willing to replace him at the controls. One of my
sentimental A/T (you know me, equally a fan of V/T and A/T <g>)
musings is that Tarrant believes Avon just might be able to handle the
controls long enough for Tarrant to get off the ship, but he won't
tell Avon that and allow Avon to die for him. <sniff>

Hey, you can't hide from the Tarrant Nostra. You are part of the
Tarrant Nostra. Anyone who writes Tarrant as lovingly as you do
is automatically drafted into the corps, whether she likes it or
not. ;-)
That sounds like a cute story, for a humorous piece, of course. Now
I have an image of someone telling Tarrant that story. And in an
adorably gullible moment he believes it, for about thirty seconds.

Came across this magazine at the local bookplace.Issue number 41 carries a
6 1/2 page article on B7, commerating its 20th anniversery. The last 1/2 page
is a short bit on Jacquline Pearce and the Sevenfold Crown. Several nice
photos, and the article isn't too bad, though the opening line almost drove me
homicidal. Anyone else seen this yet? Deborah Rose

Having just read the last posting about Dads Army / B7 cross, I'm
concerned that Liberator's roll is missing. My first thought was the
obvious - Jones's butchers van. But I think I like the idea of using the
Novetly Rock Emporium better.

Downloaded this story and read it.
I really enjoyed it.
Can`t wait to get the next part in Refractions 5.
a little spoiler space for those that have not read the first part.
I thought at first Vila was an immortal as well, until I figured that
Richie would have *picked up* on it when they first met.
It will be quite interesting to see how Richie copes with *teaching*
Avon all about the rules of being an immortal. Or how Avon will accept
the philosophy of immortals.
A *vision* just flashed into my head:
Avon and sword, facing another immortal in a duel a la "There can be
only One"- as they are about to cross swords, Avon pulls out a blaster
and shoots the other immortal. Before the other immortal can recover
Avon chops off his head, muttering "April Fool". I really cannot see
Avon abiding by the rules.
Anyway, just thought I`d say how much I enjoyed what I`ve read so far.
Thanks for posting it to me

I just got Sevenfold Crown yesterday and was listening to the interviews
afterwards and it occured to me that Paul Darrow doesn't really
understand Avon's background and motivations. (See also his book).
This seems to me a bit odd, as one would think an actor would have a
fairly firm grip on his charecter's motivations. Well, maybe it's just
my interpretation of things. It's late.

Paul Darrow is notorious for not understanding Avon, for not seeing him as the
fans see him, and for not understanding what it is about Avon that makes him
so appealling to women.
But *I* find this to be part of Darrow's charm. I find him very endearing and
appealling in his 'non-understanding'.

I think he understands the charcter from the _inside_. That is, when he
gets into Avon mode, he acts as Avon. But outside of the mode, he has
difficulty putting it into words, why a man is so ill at ease with the
world he lives in, so unable to admit to emotions and humanity... but he
can get into the mindset. As someone who loves to act, I can tell you,
getting into character is like putting on a new pair of glasses; you see
the world through their eyes, if only for a while.
Also, few popular men know what it is that women like about them. My own
feeling is this; the person who appears to have self-confidence is
attractive to other people. But as for specifics about what the
individuals find attractive, it varies. I admire Avon for his incredible
will-power, and his protective attitude towards those around him. I also
feel I understand him better than most people. Another person wil say
"black leather and mystery". To me he isn't very mysterious. So, how can
Paul know why women are attracted, when they all have different and
personal reasons for the attraction?

To be honest, the quiet, whether caused by a fault at Lysator, or by everyone
taking a break, has come as a bit of a relief.
I've just hit that point where all the zines are at the copy shop (including
Morgan and Mindfire) and there's nothing more I can do until they're back. I'm
enjoying a good collapse before I depart for The Neutral Zone. I've even been
watching some Blake's 7 episodes!
Besides, we'd been having a spate of 'me too' (in between many genuinely
interesting messages). I find it grates when people quote a long message in its
entirity just to add the equivalent of 'me too' on the end. When the list is
running at a high traffic level, I'd suggest sending agreements as private
messages unless you have a new point to add to the discussion. I'd also delete
non-relevent parts of the message that you are quoting from.
Newcommers to the net might like to read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
file for this list. Sue Clerc compiled it, so I imagine you'd find a copy on
her web page as well as the Lysator one.

It was nice for me especially because I was stuck at home (away from
college) because of a blizzard and I didn't have a chance to check my
email for a week. I thought that when I got back that I would have tons
of messages to read through. I was suprized and even a little
dissapointed when I had so little to look through. It had both good and
bad aspects, I suppose!
