Starting at 7.30pm Downunder, which is 10.3am UK time. B7 Killer In which Avon catches up with an old 'friend' - and with friends like these two, who needs enemies - while Blake discovers the source of all pandemics, ever. Probably. The girls mostly mind the house and do the washing-up, as usual. I'm left to wonder firstly how any acquaintance of Avon ended up as a Federation Base Commander, and secondly whether Mum and Dad Belfriar ever tried to make their son understand that actions have consequences. Had they given him a timely clip round the ear now and then, we might not had to put up with all this. Edited by M1795537OCVirn on 13-05-2024 12:16 "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hi, Tyce. Or should that be Hej! Hope you are having fun over there. Yep, Aussies aren't known for their timekeeping. Pilot's usually early, while the rest ...aren't. But we love them anyway. And it can't be easy being upside down. What's your most memorable part of ' B7's Killer', then? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

My screen is paused on the opening titles... the "Eliminate" scan of Blake. Although paused as it is, it looks like a Roman tile mosaic... which really would have confused the archaeologists in Pompeii if they'd uncovered it |

1m: Written by Robert Holmes! I love how in B7 so many classic names pop up in the writers, directors, actors... |

I think it has been. I've definitely got an Avon one. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Cally up to her usual trick! But for once, she doesn't get taken over.

2m: A rare composite shot of the actors and a futuristic building. They must have had double digit pounds to spend this episode 3m: And a fabulous model for the ancient ship. Things are looking good tonight! |

Hi everyone. And yet again the calendar rolls round to my least favourite episode of Blakes 7. I actually find it quite comforting by now - I can say 'I just don't like this one' and concentrate on the more enjoyable aspects. |

5m: An underground outlet pipe large enough for humans to enter into the facility -- for a second I thought Terry Nation had written this one. |

Dr. Bellfriar was also looking for a bolthole, away from most of the numpties.

I'm left to wonder firstly how any acquaintance of Avon ended up as a Federation Base Commander, Money talks. All Avon's 'friends' have some kind of military background. Tynus - base commander Del Grant - mercenary soldier Keiller - Presidential Security. Add to that things like Blake asking Avon to assess the gun in Project Avalon, and Avon telling Dayna on Terminal how he would have mined the base in tandem with the ship, they probably had to take part in some kind of compulsory military training, maybe Alpha grade Officer Cadets. |

Hello everyone! Are you back home, Tyce? Or still having adventures? Still adventuring…. Currently rewatching from a train between Stockholm and Malmö. How are you? Edited by Tyce on 18-05-2024 09:42 |

Has Cally not operated the teleport before now? Why is she having to learn? And, yes, I would take Blake for the kind of geek who knows all there is to know about old spaceships.

This is true. They all seem to have knowledge about places and things that they can't have had if their lives had been more restricted like those of the lower eschelon grunts. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

9m: These thick raincoat-type costumes are so cool. This show runs so much on pure style sometimes.

There are filming stills of it somewhere (can't remember which book) showing it on a stand. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Well, of course. The downside of the Federation OTC is that it gives those inclined to join the resistance a head start in weaponry, tactics etc. We try to weed them out during the selection process but some still get through.
