That makes much more sense than figuring out the controls of an alien spaceship within 10 minutes. Oh yes, and it happens again when Servalan wants to fly Liberator. It can not be her doing the piloting. It must be Liberator/Zen. I'll come back to that later. It must her people doing it in Terminal, though. No poor old Zen by then. |

Any input at the pilot station (like pressing Any Key on a computer) wakes the ship up and prepares it for flight, closing all exterior hatches and moving clear of any navigational hazards, like CAS London. And Jenna only pressed one button. Yes, that works. Edited by JustBrad on 12 January 2021 20:45:43  MODthra |

He bounces really well as well. Avon: "Not enough! Not nearly enough! Dammit, what weighs seventy kilos?"

The first time I saw Blake's 7, around about 1984 or 85 on Chicago Public Television, this is the episode that hooked me.

And Zen must be part cat because he chose Blake Avon and Jenna as cats sometimes choose where to live...does that count as this week's obligatory Red Dwarf reference?

Good job Blake is on the other side of the galaxy when you said that. Very wise... "We're in the centre of a mystical convergence here."

After the horror of the massacre and the charges and the baddies winning in the 1st episode, this definitely raised a cheer in our household. "We're in the centre of a mystical convergence here."

I think it might have been Jenna baiting Raiker that did it. MODthra |

I think it might have been Jenna baiting Raiker that did it. Fair point. Always fascinated what hooked people. For me, it was Aftermath at the age of six-and-three-quarters, which I'd only been allowed to stay up and see because it was the school holidays. Both my dad and I were hooked. My dad also hadn't been watching it until then. I used to get info from my babysitter as to what had happened before I'd started watching. I remember her telling me that Vila had a friend, but he'd been killed. |

It was the 1st episode for me. A hero accused of molesting kids?! Serious stuff, I thought. If they can do that what else will they do? I thought Gareth Thomas was completely brilliant and it was hard to look at anyone else on screen. He drew the eye from day one.
