Blake's 7 1x04: Time Squad
This seems to be the first episode that's not part of the opening "miniseries," though it does see the introduction of the final crewmember, the kind of rebellion Blake has in mind, and Blake's ideas about the mathematics of a seven member crew with six people.

Blake's 7 1x03: Cygnus Alpha
Really, finally, it's the conclusion of the pilot episode. Blake, Jenna, and Avon collect Vila and Gan from Cygnus Alpha (which still only makes five people and one computer on the ship, but oh well), the crew discovers the communications/teleport bracelets (two plot devices in one!), and Blake finally declares their mission: to fight back against ( Read more... ) -
Blake's 7 1x02: Space Fall
I'm not sure whether I should consider this the second half of a two hour pilot, or if the series itself is so heavily serialized that all of the episodes follow each other very closely. Either way, "Spacefall" picks up where the first episode left off, then brings the series to its apparent launching point. Which is to say, Blake finds his ship ( Read more... ) -

Yeah baby. I'm back.
Insert meaningfully evil cigarette smoking here. (But not real smoking, because that's bad for you. You heard it here!) I had thought I would have internet access, but heck, I didn't even have sleep.

69 days. 14 cities. 20,000 miles. Most definitely not a million dollars.
Regular livejournal service will resume shortly. In the meantime, I bring you the story of my interviews in numbers, because I am odd that way.

Continuing the string of pointless travel-related posts, except (hopefully) I'll be more upbeat.

Mothers, don't let your kids grow up and go to Midway Airport
I'm on the road again, hopefully for the last time.
A couple of days ago, I was passing through Chicago Midway airport. ( Read more... ) -
Home is where the condiments are, and Firefly/Ender's Game
After a month and a half away, I am home. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing, nothing so wonderful in this entire world as my own bed, bills I can ignore in person, and a refrigerator full of food (by which I mean assorted packets of Wendy's salad dressing and some 4 month old brownies, but they're MY brownies).
