In case you are wondering, the delay on episodes is totally my (Allen’s) fault. Sorry.
Finding the #Firefly course is taking up a ridiculous amount of free time. I always think I will have time to do other things like #Blakes7 or #RobinHood and then I end up only getting an hour’s sleep on Sunday. Sorry it will be over soon.

And as one of our hosts is teaching the class, you can be sure #Blakes7 will be represented too. #Firefly #Browncoats After all, both shows adapt The Magnificent Seven line as “I was aiming for his head”.
For those who like their outlaw heroes in space more than in the forest - coming to OLLI at GMU in summer 2025. #Firefly #Browncoats #CantStoptheSignal

Google’s AI is no Orac. I will tell you that. #Blakes7. Paul Darrow played recurring character Ravina? Miss one episode and you are demoted to recurring character and they get your name wrong?

The positive buzz around Hooklight has encouraged at least one member of our podcast to buy it. Glad I have only seen the buzz and not any spoilers.
Many of you will have taken delivery of your copy of the first boxed set of the new Big Finish 12 part epic HOOKLIGHT by the talented @verbatimfoley.bsky.social. There's some great buzz around this, much deserved. I don't want to give anything away, but the story is moving towards something awesome!
