Maybe that's really how Avon survived the shootout - he was really a member

Speaking for myself, I believe I saw Travis II first. Then I saw a lot
of S3 and S4 before it got around to S1, at which point I tried to
remember if that's what Travis had looked like but decided I must be
getting confused. Then S2 rolled around again.
OTOH, I've never really developed a strong preference for one Travis over
the other. T1 seems to radiate a greater humanity but T2 got to take
more of an active role in events.

I am suddenly reminded of the Hercules episode where Hercules is having a
talk with Hades, king of the dead, in Tartarus (the Bad Place for dead
people to wind up in [I'm assuming everyone knows this, but minor
explanatory notes can't hurt too much if I'm wrong). Hades is
complaining how his prospective mother-in-law, Demeter, is always getting
on his case. He's too serious, she doesn't like the way he dresses, etc.
Hercules looks at him and says, "Well, it is a little dark."
Hades, very exasperated, waves a hand at all the eternal torment going on
and says, "Have looked around you?"
Avon as Hades. The scary thing is that actually could work....

Well, it puts a whole, new light on all the arguments Blake and Avon had.
Q only argues with Picard to get his goat. He doesn't really care about
how dangerous the mission is. Hmm, and it puts a whole, new light on any
potential Avon romance, since the missus might show up and object.
Suddenly, the odd chain of coincidences in Rumors makes sense. And I
suppose Anna was just set up to die there at the end by you-know-who.
Also, for any PGP stories, Avon/Q could just wave his hand and bring back
anyone he wanted to, erasing memories if necessary (which may have
happened in previous episodes, given some of the unlikely messes they
escaped).
Orac, of course, was really Wesley Crusher trapped in a box until such
time as Q thought he deserved to be let out again.

I just saw an episode of Kavanagh Q.C. called Blood Money with Josette
Simon as one of the guest stars. She played a surgeon called Hilary Jameson
who was accused of negligence. She didn't look much older to me than during
her B7 days, but she did look a lot more mature. I hated the little braid

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Hello again.
Well, I finally had something to say, even if it's not on a very pleasant
subject. Which Travis is better and why?
I admit that Travis is by far my least favourite regular in the whole
series. I have never really been able to seen him as more than a walking,
wafer-thin cliche whose repetitive cat-and-mouse encounters with Blake I
could have lived without. Admittedly, he makes me ponder about him simply
because he seems so horribly one-dimensional that I have to try to invent
some substance or face him as nothing more than a shadow with an eye patch
(speaking of which, why didn't they just go for broke and have Travis rave
something like, "Rrr, just ye wait Blake. I'll catch ye yet an' when I do,
I'll haul ye under the keel of me pursuit ship!"). The fact that there are
two very different versions of the same character does nothing to help me
like him.
Having to choose between the two, I still prefer Stephen Greif's
version. Yes, this is partially because I saw him first and on first
seeing "Weapon" was actually slow to realise that Brian Croucher was
suppose to be the same character. But mainly it is because Greif has
stronger presence, and he seems to suggest more depth, some hint of other
emotions rather than simple-minded sneering and raging. It is also with
Travis 1 that we have the few moments when the writers actually seem to
suggest something a bit more than just your average blackhearted mad
henchman. This is of course more the question of writing than portrayal,
as some of the possibilities suggested by Travis 1 were discarded with
Travis 2.
Coming after Greif, Brian Croucher is somehow the "lighter" version in
most respects, lacking both Greif's presence and range, though packing
more rage and aggression. His portrayal may in fact be more fitting to the
idea of Travis becoming a loose cannon and eventually a loose doomsday
weapon, but it also seems increasingly compressed, stripped of any finer
nuances that would make me care. I would again lay some of the blame on
the writers for not trying to explore the possibilities of Travis' whole
ultimate-betrayal-for-betrayal scenario more or at least trying to get
more out of the whole set-up, but when I look at the few poignant scenes
like Travis' courtroom speech in "Trial" or some of the scenes in
"Gambit", where there seems to be clear openings for a wider palette to be
deployed, I can't help but to think that it is all very narrow and
undynamic. Now I am not putting down Brian Croucher, and I have no idea
whether Stephen Greif would have worked better in these scenes. I just
feel that while Croucher is good in lot of the menacing scenes (his best
scenes in "Trial" are the ones after Blake's attack run), Travis 2 is
otherwise painfully flat and tunnel-visioned (I also wonder whether this
had anything to do with the fact that so many of Travis 2's episodes were
directed by George Spenton-Foster, whom Croucher apparently clashed with).
So perhaps that is the key-point in my prefering Travis 1. In T1 I see
possibilities and a suggestion of depth, while in T2 I see a rabid dog
amoking across the city. In the first case, I am occasionally even
interested in the character's fate. In the second, I am only hoping that
the inevitable bullet that is the only solution in a case like this, is
already in flight and will reach its target as soon possible, letting the
poor beast out of his misery and me from having to watch it go through
its motions.
Having said that, I think Travis' death scene in "Star One" is staggering
and adds additional weight to the already excellent episode. At least when
I watch that I can think, "twenty episodes too late, but better late than
never."

And if that wasn't enough, look at the novels, "Aftermath" and "A
Terrible Aspect".
The thing that gets me is, how TPTB conclude that people don't want a
(radio/TV/novel) continuation of a show when, say, the novels don't
sell, and they think that people don't like the show, when the real
answer was that the show is still wonderful, but the novels are
absolutely awful. They think that all they need to do is slap a label
on it, and it will sell, no matter how crappy it actually is.
Fans do actually have some taste and discernment, you know.
Most of them, anyway (she amended, thinking of some of the absolutely
crass things she'd seen merchandised under the Trek franchise...)

What if ( to rip off Larry Niven's At the Core ) intergalactic or just
extragalactic space allows travel at higher rates precisely because it
is so empty. For Larry's universe, not having to constantly dodge
stars at Quantum II hyperdrive made for a much faster trip. Other
things could be less drag from the intergalactic medium, or better
ramscoop efficiency.
So once you get out into extragalactic space it may be like getting
onto an empty autobahn, you can set the cruise control for flat out
and let her rip. Staying in the galaxy would be like driving across a
city via back streets, you have to constantly stop and turn to avoid
solar systems, nebulas etc.
BTW is it ever established in the episodes that the Liberator uses a
Ramscoop system to collect fuel?
So if the Liberator ( and the Federation pursuit ships ) find they can
make the run to say one of the Magellenic Clouds, then the reason for
not going may turn into assets.
The scenario would go something like this :
Avon : It will take six months of uninterupted work to get the (
insert technogadget ) working ..
Vila : We barely get to look at a solar system before the Fed pursuit
ships come sniffing around.
Blake : So we need to loose them for that long ...
Jenna : I reckon we could make it to the < insert tiny undiscovered
satellite galaxy > in four months ..
Gan : Nobody has ever been there before ..
Blake : Great! No Feds. Zen lay in a course for ...
Travis to mutoids : Where are you Blake? We have hunted you everywhere
in or around Federation space ..
Mutoid : Rim Fleet Admiral reports no trace of the Liberator at the
edge of the Galaxy, Sir.
Travis ponders, playing with a star map. Light bulb goes off above his
head. "Of course, Order the Rim Fleet to Search the < satellite galaxy
>, but not to engage the Liberator. Blake will be coming home, and
when he does, I will be waiting for him.=20

So you're telling me that Travis II fell through the reactor and
came out Darth Vader on the other side? I always knew Orac
reminded me of Yoda. Uh-oh. I'm getting this terrible urge to
filk 'Lola': O-rac, Oh-oh-oh-oh-o-rac, Oh-oh-oh-oh-o-rac...

If you imagine the Milky Way projected on a clock, where the Earth is far
away in "9 o'clock" direction, then Andromeda will be approximately in "1.30
o'clock" direction. (Or, in other words, ~30 degrees clockwise from the
North Pole.) I think.
This places Star One a bit out of the main bulk of stars in the center of
our Galaxy.

I thought Coltrane For Avon was my idea? Trawling through the archives..=

Yes, I stated that "I'd quite like to see Coltrane's Avon, myself" on
November 11, 1996. When did you start?
What I'd forgotten was that Darren suggested Ed Harris for Travis, and I
agreed as long as we could have James Woods for the other season.
I'm happy, of course, for the one-man and one-woman Coltrane campaigns to=
