Why was this? Didn't Pylene 50 have a lot to do with it? >> It did in the fourth season, but that doesn't explain the third. >> Couple of reasons I can think of. 1st, the Andromedans inflicted quite a bit of damage before being eliminated, and they weren't choosy about which humans they hit. 2, we really don't hear much about the outer worlds, and I think it's safe to assume that any world that went truly independant was busy building up their forces while trying to not attract attention. And proportionately, I expect the damage was most severe on the outer worlds where the Federtion had the most tenous hold. I don't see Servalan allowing Earth, for instance, to have been left undefended once they were aware that alien ships had made it past the first battle area. So while the Federation shrunk considerably, it still had the resources to build back rapidly. And the Rebellion forces, besides the disparity in resources, would be dealing with internal conflict. Leave the Federation alone and build up, or carry on the fight and destroy it? My impression has been that someone like Avalon didn't give a farthing about Earth, so long as the outer worlds were independant. While a Blake or Kesobi saw that by striking at the "heart" of the Federation, one would be once and for all rid of them(albiet at a price). --part0_922991355_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 17:12:18 EST From: Mac4781@aol.com To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se, space-city@world.std.com Subject: [B7L] Looking for... Message-ID: <4126d48f.3703ef42@aol.com> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit A friend of mine who isn't on the lists is looking to purchase the following B7 or Gareth related zines/videos. Wallow Plus 1 & 2 (Neither is Liberator 7 which I have.These are different.) Blake's Venture Orion's Approach Wallowzine (If complete. Mine is missing 3 pages.) various early newsletters like Signals from Scorpio 1-12 Frontier Worlds 1-3 And any quality video copy of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY (Gareth's 1976 6 ep. version that, also, showed here on Masterpiece Theatre). She can work with VHS tapes in PAL, NTSC or SEACAM. Beta tapes in NTSC would also be fine (I can transfer Beta to VHS for her). She is especially eager to get Wallow Plus 1,2 and Blake's Venture and Orion's Approach as well as HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. She doesn't mind poor condition, and price is not an issue. If you can help her out with any of the above items, please contact "Joyce" at: jeb31538@hotmail.com Thanks, Carol Mc ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 22:23:37 +0100 From: "Jonathan" To: "Ellynne G." , Subject: Re: [B7L] After Star One Message-ID: <007a01be7d4f$136c36e0$ea54883e@ming> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Elynne wrote (in a very nice letter): "She's {Servalan] only more competent in some ways (nobody beats her for ruthless). She had very poor leadership skills. Lots of palace coups have succeeded where revolutions failed. Whatever her restructuring/destruction of the council was, it probably offended a lot of people who still had positions of power. Their insecurities porbably went into overdrive as she casually executed officers for problems which weren't their fault, wasted resources on questionable goals, committed genocide, etc. Fortunately, she spent so much time chasing after the Liberator (and Avon), she left herself wide open to them." I wouldn't judge Servalan so harshly - not regarding competence anyway. Her people skills are poor by our democratic standards, but she lives in an elitist authoritarian society. To look like a ruthless scheming mainpulator - and she does -is probably good business for a Federation politician; people who don't look hard enough to survive won't attract support. Ronald Reagan probably wouldn't have built much of a following in the Baathi party in Iraq or Syria. Good point about the Liberator - but if she'd got it, what a prize. I'd say that she gambled boldy (indicating that she had further ambitions she had yet to satisfy) and lost. But it wouldn't surprise me if she made it back to power after GP.
