The often heard complaint about the women crew members being relegated to
teleport duty in S2 made me curious about how many times each character gets
the honour of flicking those switches. So, to satisfy my curiosity, I sat
down to count. [Excellent reason for watching S1-2 again :-)]
As this is a list of how many times someone is appointed to the duty, I left
random occasions out (like Cally hearing Avon call for teleport in
Breakdown; she obliges but Vila was on duty). To keep things simple I
counted the sending down and back up as one, unless the retrieval is done by
a different character.
Behold the result, (with the 'random' occasions - not included in the main
figures - between brackets):
- Avon 13 times
- Vila 13
- Cally 12 (+2)
- Jenna 10 (+1)
- Orac 5
- Blake 2 (+1)
- Gan 0 (1)
So the top of the list is shared by Avon and Vila. [And we never hear those
gentlemen complain about the task being a waste of their talents :-)]
Cally's count does not include her bringing up Avon in Breakdown and sending
back the soldiers in Redemption).
Jenna's count does include her operating the teleport together with Avon in
Cygnus Alpha but not her spacing of the crimo).
The overall pattern for S1 and the first third of S2 (up until Horizon)
shows Avon as first choice for teleport duty. The only exception is Duel,
where Blake chooses Vila [but maybe that's because he thinks it prudent to
leave Avon to fume by himself over Vila calling him a machine :-)].
When Avon isn't available (because he's part of the landing party), the job
goes to Vila. If Vila is also included in the landing party, Jenna is the
third choice for S1 and Cally for S2. It is interesting to note that in
Cygnus Alpha the teleport is operated by Avon and Jenna together, although
Blake appears to regard Avon as the expert. :-)
Blake seems to consider the job beneath him since he only does it when he
has guests to dispatch: Sarkoff and Tyce in Bounty and Del Grant in
Countdown. The only other times he deigns to dirt his fingers on the
switches are when he spaces Vargas - no time to give the order to someone
else :-) - and when he tries to retrieve Jenna in Deliverance.
The only time Gan gets to operate the teleport is in Time Squad, and I
consider that a random occasion although I realise that this is debatable
:-). It seems to me we have a missed chance here, because by making Gan
Chief Teleport Operator the writers could have given him something
meaningful to do.

I think Avon gives wonderful and usually extremely expensive presents,
because he can't stand the thought of anyone being one-up on him. Not that
I think he spent a lot of time in his local on Earth, but I can imagine it
being
something of a sport to succeed in buying a drink for Avon, knowing that
he would feel compelled to send you a case of champagne in revenge.

Gan: Gives everyone fruitcake, which he sincerely believes is the best
present anyone can get.
Vila: Gives everyone useful items just like the useful items they've
noticed were missing.
Jenna: Gives everyone a country western CD (offered to book a cruise trip
for Blake but he couldn't find a clear spot on his calendar and hinted he
might be getting her something similar).
Soolin: Gives everyone individual, nicely wrapped boxes in which are
shiny bullets with their names engraved on them. Just in case they ever
need them, she says sweetly.
Cally: Puts a lot of thought into it. Gives Vila a copy of Les
Miserables (unabridged), knowing the story of the reformed thief, Jean
Valjean, will inspire him.
Gives Dayna a copy of Count of Monte Cristo, hoping the story of the
fruitless cost of revenge will help her put her own life in perspective.
Gives Tarrant a copy of Walden by Thoreau, hoping he will take the parts
about the unexamined life not being worth living and _peaceful_ civil
disobedience to heart (a few bombs are all well and good, but perspective
is needed).
Gives Gan The Complete Works of Tennyson because she's sure he'll enjoy
it as much as she has.
Gives Avon "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
Gives up on Jenna. Gets her the stack of trashy romances she knew she
wanted.
Dayna: Gives Tarrant a working model of her latest gun design with a
sprig of mistletoe (just in case he missed the obviously flirty nature of
weapons as presents).
Gives Soolin a subscription to Mercenary Monthly, which is deeply
appreciated (except that Soolin suspects the 'address change' slip is a
clever, Federation ploy to find out where they are).
Gives Vila a small, explosive device, which seems to have no point, till
she casually mentions she has the trigger switch, which may
'accidentally' get flipped if he even _thinks_ about touching her stuff
again.
Gives Orac added memory storage (from Orac's idea of an inferior model)
since he _always_ says he doesn't have enough to do what she asks him to.
Gives Avon the large, brightly striped skin (like tiger stripes only in
neon orange and lime green on purple) of something she's killed because
she's noticed how plain his room is and thought this would brighten it up
(she thought about stitching it into a new leather jacket for him but
can't sew).
Tarrant: Forgets holidays entirely. Gets gift certificates for the only
store he can find open that late on Christmas Eve, so everyone will be
able to pick up a couple containers of free mouth wash and asprin to
start off the new year.
Orac: Sees to it computer printing out Tarrant's gift certificates
malfunctions so they say they're from him.
Avon: gives Vila 'Subservience for Dummies.'
Gives Tarrant 'The Idiot's Guide to Piloting.'
Gives Dayna 'Revenge for Dummies.'
Gives Soolin a video game with a high violence rating.
In a mood of complete sentimentality, gives Cally a necklace with little
links small objects (like teeth) can be attached to. By interesting
coincidence, this happens just before Vila runs to his room and comes
back with the useful, suspiciously familar presents for everyone.
Gives Jenna a CD with "You're So Vain," "Beat It," "What Are You Waiting
For?" and "Christmas at Ground Zero" on it.
Gives Blake "How to Win Friends and Influence People for Dummies."
Gives Gan a one year old fruitcake.
Blake: Tells everyone he's booked them a wonderful vacation cruise to a
little world called Star One.

Well, mostly (b), which is very hard to find in films unless you're
watching Anime. They Got It Right. That was my feeling, anyway.
It wasn't *just* an action film. Even if had been just an action
film, it was, indeed, a "damn good action film that looked really
great", but it was SF! Not just a bunch of SFX without a plot.

I am hoping with the wealth of knowledge out there, someone can help me track
down a story.
I've been happily immersed in a box full of "Gambits" for the last week or so
(when not overwhelmed by RL). I read a story called "Day of the Bounty
Hunter" that appears serially in the Gambit zines. I read part 1 in Gambit
10; part 2 in Gambit 12; part 3 in Gambit 13. Part 3 ends with "To be
continued but part 4 is not in Gambit 14.
I did a search using the author's name (S.R. Mowatt) on Judith's site but I
didn't get any matches, leading me to believe that the info isn't indexed
that way.
Does anyone know where the story continues?

Message-Id: <200010150951.LAA03472@Tesla.rcub.bg.ac.yu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Recently I was reminded of the Freudian concept of 'gallows humour' (I'm not
sure how exactly this is translated in English). It refers to the human
capacity to make jokes in the moments of grave danger or near death. I
recalled some instances of this in B7:
(in Space Fall)
JENNA: What do you think they'll do to us?
BLAKE: Something unfriendly.
(in the alien ship in Time Squad)
JENNA: It's a difficult maneuver. He'll get there.
BLAKE: I'm breathless with anticipation.
Maybe the exchange in Duel, when Blake pretends to fight the Federation
battle-ships with a wooden spear, also belongs to this category.
Perhaps this is also connected with the question which has been recently
posted to the list - whether Blake does anything to reward Jenna's loyalty
and affection. Perhaps he makes these jokes in order to lift her spirits in
the moments of crisis. Whether she needs such help is questionable, but it
probably appeals to her more than would some pathetic 'it was nice knowing
you but now we're both going to die' speeches.

But giving wonderful presents (expensive or not) involves actually
*thinking* about the other person and what they might personally want. Avon
doesn't do that unless made to, does he?
Give them enough money and they can pick something wonderful for themselves,
thereby shifting the work of thinking away from him. Also, there's no danger
of him *getting it wrong* (an embarrassment I can't see My Darling wanting
to risk).
Actually <g> the early crew would be the worst to shop for from his point of
view, since IMHO at least three of them (Cally, Gan, Blake) strike me very
much as 'it's the thought that counts' type (I still think Gan would buy
them socks, but he'd choose the patterns very carefully <g>) and Vila
probably leans that way, especially since anything expensive he wants he can
steal for himself. Jenna and Avon, or Avon and Soolin, would be right - they
could exchange 'gifts' (expensive 23rd century boutique stuff neither of
them particularly wants and neither will expect the other to keep) rather
than presents.
Tarrant and especially Dayna would be better off (and probably happier) with
the money IMHO (mind you, I can see Tarrant at least trying VERY OBVIOUSLY
to pretend he *liked* whatever Dayna and/or Vila gave him. Oh joy ...)
