And continuing our journey into the dark heart of geek - it seems that the gears continue to grind on the Blakes 7 revival project. They even have a website this time around, although the reportage seems not to be stressing too vigorously that this whole thing is not a fait accompli, but an attempt to drum up funds for the project. Not that there's anything wrong with that, obviously. This does have the potential to suck astonishingly badly, but at least the logo's nice. The idea of a gritty, Wild Bunch in Space, as opposed to gigantic space opera played out on one set interspersed with Servalan being just fabulous. If only they could guarantee that the new, gritty movie would begin with the following exchange:


Rebel 1: Well, lucky we managed to target the neutron blasters at that live volcano before the
entire Galactic Fifth Fleet detected our heat signature.

Avon (for it is he): Well, quite. Anyone got any booze?


followed by forty-five minutes of bitching at each other, at least it would show willing.

Meanwhile, to round off tonight's geekfest and high-bandwidth fun:

Sweary Gollum

Alias: the lost episode

The Matrix: Second Serve
