It's interesting how we all have different slices of it. I had everything up to the last ep of S3/C and didn't see the Terminal or S4/D for years.

Horizon has had a dozen new members already in 2024. Amazing, really. Nearly half a century later, people still discovering B7.

Well, the Federation world is very bleak, and I imagine that Deltas get the thin end of the functional clothing - very functional indeed. So it's perhaps not surprising that he is breaking out a little.

I rather like Geela and Novara's base, although it does look like a distant descendent of Rover from the Prisoner.


Yes, I like it a lot and you're right about the similarity to the Prisoner. I like their costumes very much, with all the silver. Miles Fothergill without it all is rather "So what?" Probably wouldn't recognise him.

I had the last two series - so it was called Blake's 7, but we never saw Blake.

Why would a Delta need anything better?

Need - no.
Want - very much indeed.

Agreed - if the ones I saw at Steventon last time were typical of the newbies.

Some would say that functional would be more appropriate for a Supreme Commander than full evening dress . . .

Sorry Cally; you're the focus for everyone's agro this week. Actually, I was wondering how she managed to survive as a freedom fighter, if Auron mythology was always her frame of reference.

She functions so well in it though. You'd never mistake her for anyone else, plus she's always ready for the party to start.

Some of the others were just there for an "away from home" shag... (I'll delete that comment later).

Oh look, a mini-Rover is following Blake. Is the Village perhaps run by the Auronar?

Maybe her limited knowledge is one reason she cosies up to Avon to begin with - he's expert in his field, and his cynicism seems so knowledgeable until you know him better.

You're not kidding! And they are always cleaning up images of our heroes with software that makes them look as if they are made of silicone.

I think that Geela and Novara are deliberately colourless, Obsidian. It's part of their artificial nature - they have no personality of their own. The silver outfits add a little glamour.

Yes, that's the thing. They are made of plastic (or similar) in every respect. It works well.

As a corrective to series in which every alien has a standard American accent?

Because they or their creators have taste?

Quite possibly. For art class at school we blew up a whole lot of weather balloons for some reason I can't remember. I can't remember because one of the blokes blew one up by mouth and it exploded in his face. Painful.
