Horizon has had a dozen new members already in 2024. Amazing, really. Nearly half a century later, people still discovering B7. Interesting, but, as I've said before, if the FB group is any indication, they all want B7 remade with cgi and major Hollywood names.  Agreed - if the ones I saw at Steventon last time were typical of the newbies. Cgi - that would be a disaster. 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. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

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. |

Oh look, a mini-Rover is following Blake. Is the Village perhaps run by the Auronar? But why would they want #6's information so much? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Yes, that's the thing. They are made of plastic (or similar) in every respect. It works well. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

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. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Avon's face when he sees Saymon - you can almost hear him thinking 'What the **** is that?

Colourised beyond all recognition. No politics, dodgy, do-good or otherwise, allowed. I wonder what they'd do about having two of Travis? Blake would probably stay alive, continuing his fight on other planets (successfully) until they all rejoined for a grand finale when Avon was cast as the really bad guy who shoots him. After which everyone would get married, Gan would have been rebuilt to become best man, while Servalan went on to 'win' the Nobel Peace Prize. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

But none of that (the past 5 episodes) matters, because next time SERVALAN is in charge, and things can really get started. Hope you all have a great week.Don't try too hard, folks. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
