RIP Travis.
My fear even on Twtr already was that I would not hear when #DavidDaker's eventual passing happens if it even trended there, because he's not that big a deal in the Who fandom compared to some other people.
If not for luck, I might not have heard about #StephenGreif now either, from the #Blakes7 side.
He was also a most wonderful Major Gerhard in S1 #DickTurpin, with major fuck-me-boots in the background of the Daker or Captain Spiker 4th pic here.
78 & 87 in years.
Not one of "my people" like that here, but every loss from Blake's 7 gets felt acutely, and I'm sensitised to death already as it is. Especially or at least since 2017's losses on many fronts.
Add on top the "spiralling" (down) MH situation since yesterday, and it's ofc not in any way helpful or ideal in timings.
Travis was my second favourite after Avon in B7, Greif always looking attractive as well ofc. The sharp voice also working for him.
Too much death, whatever the case.
I had hoped that #DavidDaker's wonderful #HolbyCity S11 ep13 "A Clean Slate" appearance or the scene where he talks about blueberries would still be online for when I'd want it for his passing, but I can already no longer find it on YT.
Episode 14 is there, but it's been at least a decade since I looked up the episode BEFORE that, hitting it taking legwork then already as well.
He was an old man muddled up on anaesthetics, talking of the past & blueberries, and I liked it & him.
When he goes, the UK papers will mostly talk of Boon for Daker, maybe mentioning the more or less scandalous "Left his wife, lived with another woman the rest of his years" style things if feeling like it.
I forget the details by now, when not important ofc, but love at times happens even if you're married.
I on the other hand, well, if I've some time or another liked you or looked into you, you will be remembered in 1 form or another. You take to some people for random reasons.
