And I was just thinking that I so had to link you to aralias's marvellous Vila-and-Avon fic, but she beat me to it. You should read it. It's still my favourite B7 she's done so far. (I'm a heretic who only ships Blake/Avon in a sort of probably non-romantic, I-don't-even-know-what-this-is way).

You should definitely also now read Vila's Emails for series two, though!! :-D

From hereon, the show is completely rubbish. (According to some people. I dispute that, but see what you think. ;-D)

Also, this is the point where I warn you about Ben Steed: Ben Steed is nearly upon you! I don't know whether it's better to know or not know, but I think better to know. Basically, there is a writer who did 2 S3 episodes and 1 S4 (and that is ALL! This is a thing to be grateful for) who is not really the worst B7 writer, but... he's incredibly misogynist. So much so that some people can even enjoy some of them as a parody. It is worth being warned for, so when you see his name in the credits, you know what you're getting. There are compensations, except possibly not really in Power.

Anyway, ♥ Also, the guy in the outrageous wig is John Leeson and this is the second time you've seen him in B7, if you hadn't already worked that out. Gambit is indeed pure crack and also, as you will already have noticed, Robert Holmes loves writing Avon and Vila.

Next-up - the Space War! (You will like the Space War, I promise. All five minutes of it. ;-D)
