Yes, I actually had to double-check the cast-list when I first
listened to it, because I thought I heard his voice on a couple of the
songs. He would, indeed, be perfect.

Thank you, Ellynne, I have a big grin on my face now, only to be matched by
the laugh I had on Saturday while reading a review for The Goblet of Fire in
The Australian - Harry "less unbelievable than Thomas Covenant..." Couldn't
help myself.
Regards

I am reminded of Karen Elizabeth Gordon's book, Paris Out of Hand. One of
the restaurants has machines you feed food into, and the machines dispense
money in return. Barring the money bit, that is the sort of drinks dispenser
Vila would prefer to be, I think.

Oh, no - got to stop thinking about the emperor Commodus (there's a bad side
effect of finally seeing Gladiator), and equating Malfoy with the statuesque
Servalan isn't helping at all.

Unless... they are already in that universe. And the grade system is
based partly on magicality. If the ideas of Slytherin, etc ever become
predominant among wizards, they would impose a terrible regime on the
Muggles.
So, the Atomic Wars devestate the world, the wizards, who protected
themselves pretty well, look around and say, 'What a mess the Muggles
have made of things, we'd better take charge." They create a world
government. But they also decide to keep their magic hidden. Wizard
families become known as Alpha grades (to keep them distinct, but not
inform the Muggles as to their true nature). The rest of humanity is
also sorted out into grades based on other factors.
Servalan would be a witch; Blake would be a wizard. As for the other
rebels, that would vary. Cally, I would think not. The Auronar have
telepathy but not magic. Tarrant-- I would write him as possibly a
Squib, and that's why he defected and became a pirate. Avon, well, I
would write him as a wizard, but possibly a Mudblood.
Blake's 7 as the future of the HP universe may not be as obvious as a
Star Trek connection, but... it could get a lot more fun.

Thank you for the offer, Minnie, but I did manage to stay awake long enough
to see it (I suspect that's the closest I'll ever get to a hangover, the way
I felt Saturday morning). Doesn't Gareth look like he's having fun? Pity he
doesn't get more screen time.

Joanne

This occurred to me in the shower yesterday. It's things like this that keep
me from finishing stuff I'm supposed to be working on already. Ah well...

(tempted by the idea of a filk to 10cc's Dreadlock Holiday at the moment)
Were-girls of Chenga
(tune: Werewolves of London, Warren Zevon)
I saw a were-girl with a motorbike helmet on her head
Hiding in the forests of Chenga as she'd wait
She was looking for donors she could catch
Just as long as they were in a decent state
(Chorus)
A-hoo, were-girls of Chenga, a-hoo
A-hoo, were-girls of Chenga, a-hoo
If you see their lights shine around the cave mouth door,
Don't think about giving in
Another Lo-Tech got flashed at late last night
Were-girls of Chenga again
(Chorus)
Their methods are quite bent
But not to the extent
That they want you dead before they overtake yer
The mark of their success
Is captives in excess
Huh, I'd like them to meet their maker
(Chorus)
Well, I saw Tarrant stalking around the ship
Doing the were-girls of Chenga
Well I saw Del Tarrant stalking around the ship
Doing the were-girls of Chenga
Well I saw Lom looking after Vila down on the planet's surface
And his hair was missing
(Chorus)

Joyce asked: "Steve, I assume this are PAL. Are they the PRO videos
with the artwork?? I know that a Lysator UK member was specifically
looking for these PRO artwork
B7 videos---and not the newer releases."
I really don't know, I suggest you email him at the address I gave and
ask.

Yayyy, I'm on holiday. I've actually got time to answer every post I want
to reply to, and think long and hard about what I'm going to say and
construct arguments and stuff. So what's going down on the Lyst this week?
Erm ... Croucher in swimwear ... Darrow in underwear ... B7 avatars in Harry
Potter ... Scarlet Pimpernel ...
Maybe there's something to be said for resurrecting That Topic after all.
In the meantime, can I put in a request for any future issue of Zenith to
include a full colour centrefold of Jan Chappell modelling a gorilla suit.
Or failing that a pervy drawing of her wearing almost nothing with wires
coming out of her head.
Hang on, there already is one. On page 68. But her tits are too big.
Neil
