What’s your favorite B7 relationship?

The will they won’t they of Blake and Jenna, the bantering friendship of Vila and Avon, the speculated attraction between Soolin and Vila. So I’m curious, what are everyone’s favorite B7 relationships, either platonic or romantic? Don’t be sorry. Be quiet.

And so dramatic that JMS copied it for Babylon 5 between Jon Sheridan, and is wife... that's right.... Anna. And it doesn't stop there. Blake's 7: Gan and his woman. Farscape: Ka D'argo and his wife. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo!

During our years without B7 fandom, we, my husband Brad and I wrote fan fiction and as you can see by my member photo, the pairing of Del Grant and Jenna Stannis was one of our main story drivers. So -although it was never seen in the series, we made it our own canon. Resist the Host

It took me by surprise the first time I came across it, but honestly, I can see it working out much better than Jenna and Blake would. Don’t be sorry. Be quiet.

Generally the useless drunk stands him in good stead but very often he puts on a different mask. He knows his crew so well...except that one time and nobody could have seen that coming!

Many eons ago, I read a fanfic in which Vila was a Puppeteer like Carnell. It was an interesting perspective on his character given how quick he was to suggest killing Avon in the second episode. I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing Till they got a hold of me

So my choice chooses itself. Just what is there about it? Avon - brilliantly calculating, almost as much a computer as Orac, revealing a new side to his character as he defies all logic in his quest. Anna - the mysterious woman from his past, of whom you saw little and knew less. For a while you didn't even know she was still alive. You didn't know who, or maybe what she really was. That's probaby enough in itself, even before you see the pieces of the sad puzzle appear and begin to fit together. The final scene of death and near death. in it's way, Shakespearean. At last and against all odds, Avon finds his one and only love, only to kill her before they have a chance to be together. Hope flickers for an instant, and is then doused. The whole plot is a masterpiece, messing with your mind as it leads you up one path, then without you realising, down another. The great film director, Gilles Mimouni, did that sort of thing.
