GIP!
On the bright side, though, I'm almost finished with the first season of B7. *g* If anyone out there wants to ask me questions regarding my impressions, go right ahead.

Sorry to hear that you're sick, but, yes, by all means, tell us your impression of B7! Is it what you were expecting? :)
I was warned about the production values, but still, I might literally die of laughter if I see one of those surveillance robots again. Fortunately for all concerned, I've never put much stock in the eye candy. *g*
My favorite characters so far are Avon and Vila for wildly divergent reasons. Those two are in a neck-and-neck race for the best one-liner. I've also noticed that the two of them seem to have at least one thing in common: neither seem to have put in with Blake because they're particularly dedicated to the rebellion (at least at this point), but rather because they have no place better to go. Vila, though, has an additional admiration for Blake that Avon doesn't share- a sense of a debt as yet unpaid, perhaps? Or maybe a youthful search for a role model?
Speaking of role models, it's a shame Gan has remained such a nondescript character, because I sense a lot of history between him and Vila- a sort of big brother/little brother bond. I was really struck by how balls-y Vila was when he confronted the neurosurgeon in Breakdown. The softness was gone, period, as soon as his friend and protector was in danger.
Oh, god, yes. Ha! Sadly, I don't think that's even the worst special effect in there series, but I'd say it makes the top-five list. :)

I don't think it's either of those things... I think it's more that Vila's had few enough true friends in his life, and senses that Blake, whatever staying with him may mean in terms of personal danger, does genuinely qualify as a friend. Blake also gives him a lot more respect than he gets from any of the others, not that that's necessarily saying a great deal.

It is a shame. Gan's a very likable character, but, alas, he never became an especially interesting one. There is a nice dynamic between him and Vila, though, and they do seem to have been close.

Vila is occasionally capable of really surprising you...
That makes sense, though I don't yet feel anything particularly for Blake&Vila. I am beginning to become rather enamored of Avon&Vila, however. There is definitely a glimmer of grudging... something there. *g*
Ah, Robbie the Robot. He was meant to be used a lot but the cast cracked up so much at the sight of him, his role got drastically chopped. Wait till you see Brian the Spider.

Oh, yes, I see them as friends. I think they looked out for each other--Gan protected Vila on the London and Vila's a faster thinker and possibly more perceptive about people than Gan, so I think they're a good team. There's a really nice sense of comradeship between those two in 'Deliverance', and Gan even gets at least two funny lines.

Speaking of Orac, I was giggling uncontrollably when Avon woke Vila up, poor thing. He looked sooo cute standing there in his cotton socks and scowling. "All right, where is he?" "Blake?" "Avon. He woke me up." Hee.
Tiny enticing snippet:
Avon: ...I want to be free.
Cally: But you are free now, Avon.
Avon (looking directly at Blake): I want to be free of him.
You can imagine what a shock to the system it was to see the series again aged 23. ^_^;;;
May I ask what you think of the characterisation of Jenna?
Do we ever see her have a bad hair day? *g*
