    No. He plays a character called Kaston Iago. Russell Hunter, who was in the story "Robots of Death," reprises his role as Uvanov. Since the product description states that Scott Fredericks reprises his Blake's 7 role in a story which obviously takes place in the Whovian universe, I don't see why other characters can't be in it.

    You know, now that we have a Who thread, I came across these 6 CD titles a little while back called "Kaldor City". Basically, the story follows the episode "Robots of Death", and its follow-up novel "Corpse Marker" both of which were written by Chris Boucher. It seems that they have taken elements from both Doctor Who and Blake's 7 and mixed them together. Paul Darrow is in the series as well and Scott Fredericks reprises his role as Carnell the psychostrategist who worked for Servalan in the 2nd season episode "Weapon" from Blake's 7. Has anyone heard about these? If so, are they any good. If they are still available, I may try to get them. Below are images of the CD covers and a link to where they are. http://www.kaldorcity.com/audios/occam.html

    Thanks for clearing that up. Sometimes my knowledge of older Whovian history astounds even me.

    Yeah, yeah, I know it was at the end. I was just being facetious. I hope the Colonials annihilate the Cylons. It is time for payback.

    There have been two other actors who have also played the Doctor, both on screen and on stage. Richard Hurndall played the first Doctor in "The Five Doctors" and Trevor Martin played the Doctor in the stage play "Doctor Who and the Daleks: Seven Keys to Doomsday".

    The Master also tried to extend his life by stealing the Sash of Rassilon, which would give him control over the Eye of Harmony in the story "The Deadly Assassin". Naturally, the Doctor intervened and the Master fled Gallifrey, but he did absorb enough energy to keep his life force going. The other part, where he stole the body of someone else, was when the Doctor visited Traken, where Nyssa was introduced. The Master was looking for a way to extend his life once more, using his TARDIS, disguised as a demon from Traken lore known as the Melkur, to gain control of the Traken Keepership. The Keeper was able to extend his life by diverting power from what was known as the Source, which was generated by all living beings in the Traken Union. And this was why the Master went to Traken. However, the Doctor foiled his plans, but not before the Master was able to tap some of the Source's energy to possess Tremas' (Nyssa's father) body. In effect, I think the Master would then have become human to an extent, stealing a body that was not Gallifreyan. I do not think the Master had any other way of extending his own regeneration cycle, but I think the Time Lords knew of a way to do it. I think one of the later Peter Davison or Colin Baker episodes stated that the Master was promised to have his regeneration cycles renewed if he helped to destroy or help the Doctor. I cannot be sure which episode this was, but I have a feeling it may be "The Five Doctors".

    What? So no season three? We being fracked with? Edit: Spoiler is there in quotes, but whited out.

    Well, I finally finished cleaning out the cosmoline on my SKS Saturday night and took it to the range this afternoon. I also managed to buy some 7.62 x 39 ammo that was American made by Federal. I have to say that I was pretty impressed with the overall accuracy of the rifle. It sure gave my M1 a run for its money once all was said and done. And then comes the cleaning...

    If this doesn't count as a B movie, then I don't know what does. "I Spit On Your Grave" does not have an explosion at the end of the film, just the raped chick floating down the river in a boat after she gets revenge on those who defiled her.

    Spoilers ahead. Special Guest Stars revealed for season 3! Moore has stated that he wants the series to have a musical edge.

    My wait for the new season will not be that bad. I have the new seasons of Doctor Who to look forward to, and I have not seen any of it. It will be a great filler while I wait for October. And what a great birthday present. My b-day is in October.

    They also had no real proof of Kobol or of the Tomb of Athena, as Stands with a Fist stated in that episode. Then poof, look what appears. Adama believed her when she told him about Baltar, IMO. If Baltar was not so high up the political chain and therefore in the public eye, I think Adama would have had him thrown out of the airlock and blamed his death as an accident. But then, we can't kill Baltar, he's going to rule the Cylons one day...
  13. Noriko Takaya
    Yeah, I really don't count it as a sequel either, but events are shaping up to where that may be the case. Only time and episode 6 will tell.
  14. Noriko Takaya
    Its like something straight out of Blake 7. I love it! 379076[/snapback] With the exception of the hair dryer type Liberator weapons, most of Blake's 7 guns were cool.
  15. Noriko Takaya
    I thought you hated Top O Nerae 2? 378822[/snapback] I may dislike the series, but that has not stopped me from watching it. I am eventually going to have a few pages devoted to the sequel on my site. I need to watch it to know about it. If you are going to post spoilers, please say so.

    Do me a favor, and I am asking you this as one of the owners of the GB group at Yahoo. Please do not post those images on the group. I am currently trying to get ahold of original photographer to obtain copyright permission for use on my site. I will let you know when it clears.
  17. Noriko Takaya
    And notice how there is no reference to the 3rd and 4th film in that trailer. That's great!
  18. Noriko Takaya
    Ruin it for the rest of us and I will be mad.

    First off, I love the original design of the VF-1. To tamper with it is sacrilage. Second, when did we start to refer to his majesty, the Hory Froating Head, as "SK"? Have some respect people. Finally, I think MW has found its new MGREXX in this Phalanx guy.

    Ain't nothing like loading an M1. Just when I thought I had it down pat, the damn thing bit me and I got the old dreaded "M1 thumb". Let me tell you what word came out of my mouth...
  21. Noriko Takaya
    Yeah, they did a movie, but the series is infinitely better. In the movie, the guy who plays Yamaga actually looks better than the woman who plays Hermes. She really is kind of plain looking, and even all otaku-ed up this guy looks like he should be fashion modelling.

    Living in Canada, can you even own one of those? Not too sure how bad your gun laws have gotten.

    Yeah, I got the flip up grenade sight also, but they are tritium. They don't glow too well, though. A lot of the rifles came with night sights that were phosphorus, but they are shaped differently from the tritium ones. I found that if the rifles were unissued, they should have had a log book packaged with the rifle, stamped with the factory where they were made. I got no such book. My serial number is D-59449, which indicates it was made in 1967, but the box has another number which is stamped with an R and indicates it was rebuilt in 1986. Did you get the funky oil can with leather case and the rope used to clean the bore? From what I gathered, cleaning rods were not to be used in cleaning the bore, hence the funny looking rope. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this weapon fires. I ought to take it out with my M1 Garand and see which shoots better, although my money is on the Garand. Oh, someone once told me these things have a tendency to slam fire, but I figured if I can get some ammo with hardened military primers I should be okay. I had a problem with a slam fire on my M1A about a year ago and it cracked my rifle. Scared the shee-it out of me also. Had to order a new stock and a few other parts from Springfield to fix it.

    Okay, sorry for the story last night. However, it's time for a little gun pron. I went to a gun show up in Baltimore at the Pikesville National Guard Armory today, and I got me something. I do not know how most of you out there feel about these, but I purchased a Yugoslavian M59/66 SKS rifle. I settled on the Yugo made one since the Russian ones I saw were either too expensive or looked like crap. The one I bought was rebuilt, although the guy who sold it to me said it was unissued. I did some studying on SKS rifles and the serial number on the rifle I bought stated it was definitely rebuilt. For one thing, the grenade launcher is not ported, and there are tritium dots on the sights. The serial I have is dated to 1967, and they did not start adding tritium to the sights until the 80's. The barrel and the stock are also new. The rifling looks very sharp. However, the barrel is not chrome lined, so I had better find me some good ammo to shoot through this thing. But the rifle does have all of its matching numbers... I'm also going to have fun scraping and wiping off the copious amounts of cosmoline used to preserve the weapon. But oh well, it should be fun to shoot once it is cleaned up. The rifle was about $169, but the guy I bought it from knocked off about $50. I figured that was a bargain considering the prices I have seen these things go for. All in all, I think I got a pretty good rifle for the price I paid, and it is in very good condition. Down below is a picture. Can't wait to shoot it.

    That brings up a memory of when I was 13 years old, growing up in Florida. My dad was a truck driver and was away most of the time earning his living, so that left me, my brother, and two sisters home with my mom. Well, one night when my dad was not home, my mom woke me up at about 2:00 am saying that there was someone at the front door. Well, it was not my dad, for he was in Oregon as my mom talked to him that very evening. It turned out to be someone breaking into the house. My mom grabbed the only rifle we had in the house, which was a Ruger 10/22. I had to load it for her as she did not know how to do it, but damed if she did not shoot the idiot outside right through the door. She gave ample warning of being armed, and the guy punched out one of the windows in the door fumbling for the lock. That was when my mom shot. Needless to say, mister robber was lying dead on the front doorstep with his arm still stuck in the door. After everything was cleared up with the police, my dad decided to quit truck driving across the country and get a local job. And to this very day, I consider my mom a hero because of what she did, even though she had nightmares about it for a while.
