If you send in the form, please put your name and address on it. If you've already sent in the form, then please could you contact myself or Sacha and Ivan to make sure we know which form was yours... Judith PS. And a big thank you to those returning the forms, because stewards are important to any convention. We couldn't operate with out you. -- http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 Redemption 99 - The Blakes 7/Babylon 5 convention 26-28 February 1999, Ashford International Hotel, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 22:52:32 +0100 From: Steve Rogerson To: Lysator Subject: [B7L] Kissing Message-ID: <36339D9F.B5A94ADC@mcr1.poptel.org.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On the way back from the London Horizon meeting today, Paula and I got to discussing relationships in B7 (as you do) and we were trying to remember all the incidences of people kising. The ones we definitely got were: Gan-Kara Blake-Inga Dayna-Avon Avon-Servalan The one's we thought did, though we couldn't remember if we saw it on screen were: Servalan-Jarvic Servalan-Tarrant Vila-Kerril Tarrant-Zeeona Dayna-Og Can anyone confirm any of these, and have we missed any? We also had a feeling Jenna kissed someone in Bounty, but we weren't sure. -- cheers Steve Rogerson Redemption 99: The Blakes 7 and Babylon 5 convention 26-28 February 1999, Ashford International Hotel, Ashford, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption/ "Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell" Star Wars ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 15:00:00 PST From: "Joanne MacQueen" To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Blake and Arthur Message-ID: <19981025230001.18108.qmail@hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain Leah said: >I was under the impression that most of the characters in >Arthurian legend are adaptations of ancient Celtic Gods, and that >Geoffrey of Monmouth stole and adapted them in his Arthurian book >to lend provinence to the current kingship in Mideval England (Here I go again, posting when I ought to be lurking, at least temporarily!) I don't know if anyone else has said this yet (perils of the digest, you see). What I learnt at university was that ol' Geoffrey was inspired by Nennius, a Welsh monk credited with the compilation of a monastic chronicle. Originally, unlike Blake, Arturus (or however exactly it was spelt), was fighting to keep the status quo i.e. Roman civilisation. Unless anyone wants to liken the Federation to the Angles and the Saxons, perhaps? This chronicle had various interpolations after Nennius, which made this Roman-trained Briton a king, with various mystical aspects to himself and his court. (The essay I had to write on the subject is a hundred miles away, so I can't consult it, sorry.) The Celtic elements may have had greater prominence once upon a time, but I don't think those who wanted the Roman legions to come back would have looked on the old traditions as being worth a great deal, even though there would have been room for them in the polytheistic culture of the time. As for Geoffrey, he was doing something similar, or so I gather. His book is meant to be anti-Norman, glorifying the deeds of British (as opposed to English) kings, though at a time when the successors of William the Conqueror would have been a bit difficult to dislodge. This, in its turn, inspired the rest of Europe. Most of the legends about King Arthur were made up by the French and the Germans, so they could wax lyrical about chivalry. My copy of Geoffrey is the same distance away from me as that essay I mentioned earlier. Back to corrupted chronicles for a second: isn't there a story in The Aquitar Files where someone, in their best scholarly style , is looking at Blake's legend? Regards Joanne Well, there's nothing so rum it might not be true. --William Herrick Macaulay ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 17:18:37 -0600 From: Lisa Williams To: Subject: Re: [B7L] Kissing Message-Id: <199810252316.RAA10955@mail.dallas.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Steve Rogerson wrote: >Can anyone confirm any of these Servalan-Jarvik, certainly -- remember his priceless "Woman, you're beautiful" line, where he grabs her and kisses her? >and have we missed any?

M. Wilcox, I very much like the drabbles! Very clever. Especially "Avon's Apostle" (snicker). These remind me of the 7 X 7 vignettes that Alison was collecting recently-- only twice as long, of course. I bet a zine publisher will want them.

I can very much believe that Avon wouldn't take the happy birthday joke well. :) Kissing: Steve, Steve, Steve, how could you be so delinquent on remembering Tarrant kisses? Yes, he did kiss (and more) Servalan and Zeeona. And Tiger M had to remind you about Tarrant-Dayna. Tsk. Maybe that Dayna-Og you thought you remembered was actually Dayna-curly Tarrant. ;-) Kiss questions, I'm not sure about either of these. Avon-Anna (did they just hug or was she kissing him?)
