Blake won't let them watch Trek because it's such blatant Federation
propaganda.

The Star Trek special effect looked like a beam in the transporter room (and I
seem to recall the original aim was to have a beam SFX to the planet) -
presumably the origin of the phrase.
As B7 deliberately avoide ST terminology as a rule - eg. force wall for shield -
I think the usage was an accident. (there might well have been copyright
implications in any case.)

Maybe those who haven't been convicted are entitled to more privacy? Seems at
least possible.

Well, they'd had occasional succeses, but never on living beings.

Gosh, all the Haiku that's come in has been great fun to read. I did a few
more, last ones from me, I promise.
The Keeper
In search of a map
Jenna gets a new dress, but
the fool is wisest.
Voice From The Past
I was sure I'd seen
This episode, I forget
What happened again?
Headhunter
Crew work together
And a happy ending too
Hey, what show is this?
Power
Pella needs the ship
To escape from certain death
So Avon kills her
Best wishes to all.

Not going to work this into a mini-fic today, but has anyone besides me
noticed the similarities between a certain fairy tale and the episode
Blake?
Blake (the Prince) has been hideously transformed (scarred eye, general
appearance of a Federation supporter) by unknown parties (probably a very
ticked off smuggler who'd waited long enough for him to ask her out). He
lives in a rather spooky castle in the middle of nowhere (no explanations
needed, right?) and is waiting for Someone to come a deliver him from his
curse.
Tarrant comes along, playing the father's role by having his life saved
and being allowed to stay in the enchanted castle (we are not going with
the Disney version here [although anyone who wants to refer to Deva & co.
as Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts has my permission to do so]).
Things Don't Go Right and Tarrant receives (he thinks) a chance to save
his life by making a trade for Avon (which [oh, gee, how did this
happen?] makes him Beauty, doesn't it?).
"Oh, good," thinks Blake, "Avon will see the truth and trust me, rescuing
me from this awful curse. Of course, I'll also have to put up with a lot
of sarcastic comments but, after I explain I was waiting for him to get
me out of this mess, everything will be all right (and maybe I will aske
Jenna out, just to keep something like this from happening again)."
Which just goes to show, when it comes to fairy tales, casting the right
people in the right parts is everything if you want a happy ending.

Interesting! I've been trying to work out a version of B & B with
Servalan and Travis; thought about Servalan and Avon and
discarded it. Maybe I could make it work with Servalan as both?
Hm. Like yours, though the thought of Avon asking anyone, let
alone Tarrant, to bring him home roses is a bit much.

Yes its possible. But privacy for Federation prisoners? Doesn't seem to me
something the administration would go for.

Yep, with Avon and Blake both working on the project. I was actually quite
surprised that with all the pre-war resources of the Federation, that they
couldn't get a system that worked. Maybe they got close, but the
intergalactic war cut them off.

Maybe it was like the old Cinderella, and he told him to bring back the
first thing that hit him in the nose.

Perhaps not so much privacy as higher sercurity, a cell that couldn't be
seen unless the right buttons were pushed and that let you look at the
prisoner without the prisoner seeing you.
The transportees had a lower security cell without these features,
although they probably sent in extra guards once Blake was in there.

Possibilities: Blake, if he were in an drugged and mind washed state,
might not have been at his best. If he were in an active rebel state, he
might not have wanted to give them his best effort.
Avon may have been looking for ways to make a buck from the project and
only had limited interest in its success. OTOH, he may have had a boss
who got his job strictly through connections rather than ability, who
kept shooting down his suggestions (the ones he didn't try to take credit
for but then implimented in the wrong way, because he didn't understand
them, and then tried to put the blame on Avon). Hmm, and could this
guy's name have been Chesku? Either that or Dogbert. And did Avon decide
hard work was not its own reward about this time and start trying to
break into Chesku's bank?

In the Saturday Telegraph there was an article about a designer called
Annabel Blake, and the heading was Blake's Heaven. Nice to know they still
think it will be recognised after all these years. That set me to thinking,
why the Telegraph? It is (or tries to be) a fairly highbrow sort of paper,
and Blake's 7 was often derided as being a kid's show. Thinking back on it,
B7 was usually scheduled in the UK opposite Coronation Street, about the
most popular soap opera of the time, so since this was in the days before
video recorders were common you had to watch either one or the other.
Second TV sets were fairly rare then too, compared with these days. So
maybe in general the working classes watched Corrie, and the middle classes
watched B7? I don't know, but it was just a thought.

I entirely agree. I never thought the opaque wall was for the comfort of
the prisoners. IMO it was there for the comfort of those working in the
trial area. Those would mostly be higher officials, who wouldn't want to be
exposed to the dregs of society being locked in there any more than
absolutely necessary. The setup with the walls ensured that they only had
to see a prisoner when one of them happened to be talking to his lawyer or
when he was on trial. The transportation holding cells were elsewhere and
guarded only by Federation guards, who would be a lot less squeamish about
having to see the prisoners. I didn't see any officials wandering around there.
