beccaelizabetham watching Blakes 7 season 2
on the one hand, its reminding me of all the reasons it is kind of difficult to be a fan of this show
like, the plots.
oh noes! Liberator will be destroyed! We shall all give up and be doooomed!
but look, Liberator isn't the only ship in the universe with a glowy arse! Why did we not think of that before! Ship go boom not us!
and the part where Gan stays behind to fight so the others can get away. so they get about 20 yards away and stand around to watch him fight. And, using the never mentioned magic power, he makes the guards to forget all use of such strange things as boomsticks and to jump at him inefficiently one at a time. Gan smash!
dear lord this show desperately needed a decent fight choreographer.
And the *clothes*. I mean in many ways they are fabulous, of course. Sleeves bigger than his head! Tiny mini skirt intermittently covered by billowy see through white skirt! Big huge robes! 2 inch heels, on the blokes. Fabulous silver high heels and skin tight body suits on the bad girls, of course. And all the 'leather'. Not a very forgiving material. Avon really needs to stand up straighter. I'm pretty sure he wasn't as fat as that top made him look when he slouched. Probably.
But he's wandering around in studded black leather being fabulously snarky as always. Got to love that.
And thats the other hand. It somehow adds up to easy to love, and really great fun. And okay, part of that is because I'm constantly rewriting it in my head. It makes me think stories, so I like it. But its just fun to watch.
