Hello. I like Vila and Gan, especially their friendship with each other, but also their friendships with other crew members. I do like Avon a lot too! I like all the seasons of Blake's 7, though possibly the first three more than the last one (though Soolin is cool and I'm glad we got to meet her). Sometimes I wish Gan hadn't been killed when he was, but then again, I'm not sure he would have fit in with Tarrant and Dayna, or with Avon being in charge, and the writers, I think, often didn't know what to do with him. Which makes me sad. But at least I have Vila and Avon for all the seasons!

I'm not sure yet how much I'll post here. I'm still checking the site out. Hopefully I'll post more later, and track down some B7 comms to join. Perhaps some fans will like me too?

You're right about Games: not a bad ep, though Stratford Johns stuffed up his last lines making the end nonsense. Those Scorpio clip guns had a stun setting, and did you notice that Vila shut his eyes when he fired - and that the guard wasn't there later? In my fanon (I think I put it in Vila's Emails) he was practising but still couldn't look, and the guard woke up and left.

Volcano is another weird one, but Vila's great in it. He'll step up and act when no one else is able to, but I admit that he'll leave it to them if he can. :-)

You've acquired some great icons!

I'd forgotten about that bit in your email stories, which just means I'm clearly overdue a re-read, lol!! But that makes much more sense now - and also tells me I probably ought to watch the episode again (or at least, that bit)!!

And yeah, I love that he will step up when there's no one else to do it! He does it in Terminal too, stopping the auto-repairs that can't keep up with the damage to prioritise the computers trying to find a solution.

He's quite capable, when he has to be, but prefers to let others do the hard work/make decisions otherwise! This might make him smarter than the others, lol! :D

EDIT: Sallymn's icons are gorgeous! One day I may get a paid account, and then, well, I can stuff it full of icons!! :D

He's a lot brighter than he'd like people to know!

In the meantime you could get more icons and rotate them round the slots you have. :-)

Oh, I think he is!! Most definitely!! I also think Gan is not always as stupid as many fans seem to think, and when he has problems, I'm blaming them on the limiter. My head canon is that he was a (never mentioned but surely must surely exist?) gamma grade, but the limiter adversely affects him sometimes. Of course, Vila's grading I'm sure has nothing to do with intellect, unless it's that he's too smart to become a higher grade and have to, you know, that terrible four letter word... work! :D

I have a few waiting to rotate in/out, and there are few I might rotate out for Gan, Vila and Avon icons if I find I don't use the ones of Blake, Tarrant, Jenna etc all that much! :D
