Fannish new year's wishes

[vilakins]

I recently rediscovered these and I might start doing them again. From the fannish5:

What are the top five things you would like to have happen in 2007, in any fandom?

OK, for Blake's 7:

1. B7E goes belly-up and sinks without trace.
   
2. Someone who likes Blake's 7 for its own sake buys the rights.
   
3. We get some excellent radio plays (maybe even the hoped-for fifth season) with Paul Darrow, Michael Keating, Steven Pacey, and Jacqueline Pearce playing Avon, Vila, Tarrant, and Servalan.
   
4. A well-written new series with a new young crew and occasional guest appearances by Paul Darrow and Michael Keating as an older Avon and Vila (Terry Nation did want those two to survive) and maybe also Jacqueline Pearce as a still beautiful Servalan. Not too much of her though; they overplayed that card in S4.
   
5. Said new series to have cool new SFX but to have its real strengths in characterisation and witty intelligent dialogue. Oh and a bit of hope would be nice.

I hate that RTD is pushing his nihilistic views on death all the time.

You mean it's not just me imagining that! I thought I was being over picky given that I don't like it, don't rate it and it's a team writing job and so could have been co-incidence. Well maybe I'm not imagining or being over picky about other things too then, in which case it's about time the commissioning agent cut them down to size and pointed out that public entertainment is that and not funded for them to practice brain washing techniques or other forms of social engineering on.
