THE WEBLOG OF KEVIN C. MURPHY: CONJURING POLITICAL, CINEMATIC, AND CULTURAL ARCANA SINCE 1999

Avon Lives.

| | Comments (3)

The original blueprint for Farscape, Blake's 7 returns with a flash-intensive site and news of a possible mini-series. "As was the intention of the late Terry Nation, only Paul Darrow who played the character Avon will reprise his role, acting as a catalyst for a Rebellion Reborn. It is fair to say that all the original characters are dead and there are no plans for their resurrection." Sure seemed like Avon died in the last episode twenty-two years ago, but I suppose he could've had a backup plan.

I kept meaning to check that site ever since Paul Darrow posted a few updates on the project. Now that it's finally happening, the fanboy vibes are definitely tingling. How they're going to commingle the 70s look with CG effects is a mystery though. It's going to look as hopelessly incongruous as "Enterprise" does with TOS. (Or perhaps they might offer a response to this conundrum, as they did with the turned over Federation symbol.)
