Ah -- an overt attempt to avert the ire of FINALACT! I am touched to think
that we might someday hope to inspire terrified obeisance on a par with the
(cringe, salaam) Tarrant Nostra.

Careful! --many people have lived to regret making that particular wish.
Specially after I've been drinking burgundy calligraphy ink.

Couple of reasons I can think of. 1st, the Andromedans inflicted quite a
bit of damage before being eliminated, and they weren't choosy about which
humans they hit. 2, we really don't hear much about the outer worlds, and I
think it's safe to assume that any world that went truly independant was busy
building up their forces while trying to not attract attention.
And proportionately, I expect the damage was most severe on the outer
worlds where the Federtion had the most tenous hold. I don't see Servalan
allowing Earth, for instance, to have been left undefended once they were
aware that alien ships had made it past the first battle area. So while the
Federation shrunk considerably, it still had the resources to build back
rapidly. And the Rebellion forces, besides the disparity in resources, would
be dealing with internal conflict. Leave the Federation alone and build up, or
carry on the fight and destroy it? My impression has been that someone like
Avalon didn't give a farthing about Earth, so long as the outer worlds were
independant. While a Blake or Kesobi saw that by striking at the "heart" of
the Federation, one would be once and for all rid of them(albiet at a price).

A friend of mine who isn't on the lists is looking to purchase the following
B7 or Gareth related zines/videos.
Wallow Plus 1 & 2 (Neither is Liberator 7 which I have.These are
different.)
Blake's Venture
Orion's Approach
Wallowzine (If complete. Mine is missing 3 pages.)
various early newsletters like Signals from Scorpio 1-12
Frontier Worlds 1-3
And any quality video copy of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY (Gareth's 1976
6 ep. version that, also, showed here on Masterpiece Theatre). She can work
with VHS tapes in PAL, NTSC or SEACAM. Beta tapes in NTSC would also be fine
(I can transfer Beta to VHS for her).
She is especially eager to get Wallow Plus 1,2 and Blake's Venture and
Orion's Approach as well as HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. She doesn't mind poor
condition, and price is not an issue.
If you can help her out with any of the above items, please contact "Joyce"
at: jeb31538@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Carol Mc

Elynne wrote (in a very nice letter):
"She's {Servalan] only more competent in some ways (nobody beats her for
ruthless).
She had very poor leadership skills. Lots of palace coups have succeeded
where revolutions failed. Whatever her restructuring/destruction of the
council was, it probably offended a lot of people who still had positions
of power. Their insecurities porbably went into overdrive as she
casually executed officers for problems which weren't their fault, wasted
resources on questionable goals, committed genocide, etc. Fortunately,
she spent so much time chasing after the Liberator (and Avon), she left
herself wide open to them."
I wouldn't judge Servalan so harshly - not regarding competence anyway. Her
people skills are poor by our democratic standards, but she lives in an
elitist authoritarian society. To look like a ruthless scheming
mainpulator - and she does -is probably good business for a Federation
politician; people who don't look hard enough to survive won't attract
support. Ronald Reagan probably wouldn't have built much of a following in
the Baathi party in Iraq or Syria.
Good point about the Liberator - but if she'd got it, what a prize. I'd say
that she gambled boldy (indicating that she had further ambitions she had
yet to satisfy) and lost. But it wouldn't surprise me if she made it back to
power after GP.
