BN>};) But *you* don't have to be one of them! A conflict requires two people. Proposition A: Some people will be confrontational. Proposition B: Not everyone will ignore them. There fore people A and people B will conflict. So what? That doesn't mean that you have to take part or that you are obligated to act as a peacemaker in any way. By doing this you set yourself up as arbiter of "True Trek". This online world is not real life. You can turn away from disagreement and conflict here w/o turning your back and being vulnerable. If some one wants to fight with you, you can ignore them safely online. Someone can say almost anything *at* you here online, but it has no more weight than you choose to give it. If someone is being vile and disagreeable for whatever reason, then let the moderators handle them. Don't cross the Moderators here. They're animals. There was a guy through here a couple of years ago... Well, never mind. But the point is that the moderators easily handle people who get out of control. So there is no reason to give morons any more weight than they deserve here. Jay P.

HAILEY Time: 12:37am \/To: MICHAEL MAREK (Read 1 times) Subj: Trek and B7 MM>Is Blake's 7 dead? A local public TV station just started airing it MM>this summer, and I don't know much about it. Blake's 7 was in production from 1978 to 1981 IIRC. It has a fairly solid following especially among people who were Strek-Fen way back when that name for them was in vogue... I sometimes wonder if that isn't because Blake's 7 is dead seemingly beyond revival. Much of the good old time Trek fan-fiction and such-likes was predicated on the idea that no one would ever contradict the conclusions in, for example, Kraith. When Trek proved that it was alive in the movies, it started to contradict long held fannish notions. When TNG premiered then Trek was once again totally out of the hands of the fans. The leader of the first Trek Fan-Club I was ever a member of (USS Tradition, Los Angeles) wrote an extremely hostile editorial titled "Trek RIP" when TNG premiered and loudly quit Trek fandom. But she, like many others later discovered Blake's 7 and proclaimed it a Good Thing. I believe there may be some Blake's 7 fan-fic being produced, but darned if I can find any of it for THE UNIVERSE: TREK... Another thing that differentiates B7 from Trek is the story telling architechture. PCs died in B7. No one was sure who'd survive the season. It allowed for more melodramatic and abusive stories involving the PCs. In the 1980's the BBC *hated* SF. Starcops, Blake's 7, Dr. Who. Almost every british SF series that I know of was either cancelled or badly threatened during that time. (Red Dwarf premiered in 1990 AFAIK.) I have never had a chance to sit down and really dig into B7, but the couple of episodes that I saw were OK if you could look past the cheesy special effects (No challenge for an old Dr. Who fan like me...)
