Subject: Young Blades?
Does anyone know anything about a new series called `Young Blades'?
According to the onscreen tv description tonight is the first episode.
The description it has is- "Bruce Boxleitner plays the head of the 17th-
century Musketeer Academy, home to swordsmen-in-training. In the opener,
a peasant girl (Karen Cliche) wanted for murder disguises herself as a
man to join. (Action/Adventure)." The show is on PAX which I think is
a kid/family channel so I don't expect it to be all that interesting
but I may check out the first episode. I'm curious if anyone has
heard more about it though. According to the IMDB Michael Ironside
is in it so there's the Highlander connection.

Yes - that is the show Gillian Horvath is writing for now. Here's a
quote from a recent email:
>I just wanted to let everyone know that the show I'm currently working
>on, "Young Blades," is premiering on PAX this Sunday, January 23rd, at
>8 PM, with reruns on Tuesday nights at 8. It's a musketeer series
that >the critics are calling a pleasant romp, which is what we were
aiming >for.
Hey, a "pleasant romp" from Gillian probably means swords and
headboards, so yay for her and yay for us.

Thanks for the info. If you mean `headboards' in the way it's usually used
in reference to HL episodes, I don't really expect that on a show airing on
PAX. Or am I wrong about it being a kid/family channel? (I may be getting it
mixed up with one of the other kiddie ones.)

So far, you're not missing much. Sheena Easton is in it as well, so there's
another HL connection.

Perhaps there won't be headboard rattling, but there was a scene where
D'Artagnan came in for a landing with his nose right in a buxom blonde's
cleavage, and the Musketeer who's always inventing things murmured
"...bags of air...could save lives!"
It's not very serious and makes quite a few anachronistic jokes, but it
was worth a chuckle or two. I switched over to a rerun of a old BBC
America favorite, so I haven't seen the ending yet.
