Reactions and Reviews

1994

Neither of them is too offensively out of character, but there is nothing interesting here; nothing new learned about either character or the B7 universe as a whole. [1]

2015

-Kay-, "Before the Madness Claimed Them" (Tr/A) This is one of the best in the zine, though still not great. Avon and Travis are stranded together in a desert. Travis tries to seduce Avon because he knows this will work better for him from a practicality POV (i.e. he can continue to have sex with Avon), but then practically rapes him anyway. I guess Avon enjoyed it and liked the seduction a bit, as he saves Travis from Blake (which makes sense within the story, but not within the context of the show where it's always the other way around).
