Now that show my TV station did bring in. Remember watching it on Saturday afternoons…thought it was a little too Star Wars-ish for me. Don’t think I ever saw the end. So are they still on the run?

…u ever watched a Brit sci-fi show called Sapphire and Steel?…

We're always entitled to our own opinions its just a matter of right or wrong.

Hi Richard,

Never hear of the show before...

Anyways, sometimes opinions are meant to be kept mum to avoid chaos...hee

cavalock: the series ended years ago. It had gone into hiatus and was brought back for one final episode where all the characters were killed off. Actually, one of the best episodes.

I have never seen Sapphire and Steel.

prince romp: Nope, not about a movie. Blake's Seven was about a group of outlaws. The show was pretty painful to watch, but it did produce a large number of very good exchanges.

sassy lady: As mentioned to prince romp, it was not a very good show. It was painful to watch, but it did sometimes have very clever dialogue. The two long running characters were Vila (a thief and coward) and Avon (a computer expert and completely ruthless and self interested - he had no loyalty to anyone but himself)

They r all dead? hah...

anyway, Sapphire and Steel was ok. I like it more cos of the stars, David McCallum (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Joanna Lumley (The New Avengers)!

It was a pretty good episode (compared to the regular ones).

Everyone gets gunned down, except Avon, who surrounded by armed Federation troops simply grins his psychotic grin (with the assumption that he gets it too).

Eleven years ago today

So what happened 11 years ago today? According to wikipedia and BBC’s On This Day – not much. Lot’s of things have happened on March 10th, but, apparently, nothing newsworthy happened on 10-March-1995. On this day, I met Sofia for the first time. I remember this, not because I was so impressed with Sofia, but because of the way I remember things. I remember most of my first encounters with future friends – but generally not the date I met them. But … there is one thing I do tend to remember – birthdays. I remember meeting Sofia because I was asked to pick her up and bring her to a friend’s birthday party. How did this first meeting go? Me: Hi. Are you Sofia? Sofia: Yes. Me: I’m Richard, I’m supposed to pick you up to go to Olga’s party. Sofia: Yes, let me get my coat. Me: I think you should change you skirt and put on a pair of pants. Sofia: No, it’s ok. Me: This is Canada, it is still winter and it can get very cold. Sofia: I’ll be fine, besides we’re going by car. Me I sti...

Desperately Seeking Souls

Saw this blog thing over at Lunafish 's site and, since I liked my results, I decided to do it on my blog as well. You Are a Seeker Soul You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges. You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions. Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist. Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!). Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others. And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically. Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas. Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
