Made it! Was looking at stuff on FB. All the people going on about Avon going mad. Of course, they're all experts. As someone who has actually "gone mad", I consider few of them to be in a position to know what that means exactly. Speaking from experience, I would say Vila is as well. Moving on, let's see how Avon handles it today. I think the beauty of Blake's 7 fandom is that there is room for any number of fan theories about what motivates the characters. You can just ignore the ones you don't like. Hi AnneA This is true; however, when it comes to psychological illnesses I have quite a bit of knowledge. In the past, people were committed to institutions for far less than either I or Avon or Vila have experienced. It's easy to say "mad" when you don't know what it is. No, but you can hardly blame the fans for not having that knowledge - nor, presumably, would you wish it on them. It's just fandom - it's not as if they are publishing the definitive literary study or something. |

It would have been worth it if she had been pleased to see me, but she wanted me to do something but couldn't say what it was (she has dementia) and got increasingly irritated with me. Oh dear, not good. Sorry about that. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Zeeona is SO wet. She's the second person I want to slap, after Piri. I mean - Tarrant?? He does have appalling taste in women. |

I like how that managed to make Zukan’s and Zeeona’s outfits very similar, but serve very different purposes. His looks very uniform like and hers is quite feminine. |

While I think that Nicky Rocker was quite lazy in using the Toyah Willcox hair, he did design very nice outfits for this episode. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I do find all these frontier planets with their gaudily dressed rulers fascinating. I had a fanfic with a Federation officer from Heriol once. |

I like Soolin's amusement when Avon says that he is prepared to sacrifice her. She is a match for him, and knows it. |

Zukan is wear a hearing aid. He's an interesting character. I like his speech about Betafarl's permanent day - he clearly wasn't born there, but seems to have conquered it. It would be interesting to know in what circiumstances. |

Servalan looks good in that frock. Her make-up is a bit shiny though.

If Zukan is complaining about the bad dreams, he has when he does nasty things and why doesn’t he just stop doing nasty things? |
