I'm so enjoying your reaction to this series! I haven't seen all of it, but I have a good number of eps on tape and it's such a fun show. The ending of the series totally kills me every time.

I'm glad! :D It's being a really neat ride - dystopian fiction is a favorite of mine, and they handle it just so well.

I've been pretty heavily spoiled and I suspect the ending will leave me a wreck. For once, TV writers who do tragedy well!

Re: the ending

I wibbled. So much. And I think afterwards I just sat there and stared at the TV.

(Hi Casta! :D)

Poor characters. *pats a Z*

(It really is a good thing I'm already spoiled or this conversation would be making me really nervous. :D)

Poor Gan. All the characters get horribly abused on this show, but he arguably gets more than his share, and certainly more than he deserves.

There has been, I think, a fair amount of debate in fandom over whether Blake would really have broken the guy's hands or whether he was bluffing. General consensus, I believe, is that he wasn't bluffing. :)

Vila will shoot you.

He might, but he'll probably miss because of closing his eyes first. Unless you're in a spaceship and he's firing the Liberator's weapons, because then he doesn't have to watch. :)

Actually, I love the surgical assistant in general.

Yeah, one of the great things about B7 is that, more often than not, it does really good minor characters.

I was beginning to wonder. Thus far he's ended up in horrible pain in pretty much every episode where-in he's had something to do.

:D Makes sense. I really don't think he was, myself. Blake strikes me as a very ruthless man - or at least a man who's capable of being just as ruthless as he feels he has to be.

Good point! To be accurate, you'd have to say he'd try to shoot you.

They really do! I mean, even the captain of the prison transport was interesting, and he could just as easily have been a throw away character.
