Women Fandom Loves to Hate--Anna Grant, Day 7

The final day (for me).

The different faces of rebellion we see in B7 are interesting. In another reality, it would have been fascinating to see a more tightly arced series that explored the different approaches to rebellion as exemplified by...

1) Blake--hit them hard, go for Control, etc.
2) Avalon--chip away from the outside, free the provinces
3) Kasabi--guerrilla warfare
4) Anna--undermine the system from within (the most morally dangerous path, but perhaps the closest to actually being effective within the series).

(As I say this, I note that three out of four of these figures are women, which speaks very well of a show from c. 1980.)
