I do wonder if I am coming at this from a different angle from other people. I like 'group of people on a space ship/station' series - all the possible variations on that - so Blakes 7 fits in with Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly etc. - and with this series. I get the impression that other people come at Blakes 7 from a 'vintage British TV angle' - would I be right to think that? Think what seems right to you. I have no idea what angle I use to view anything. I am so sorry. I thought I was just asking an interesting question, but people seem a bit annoyed for some reason. Please forget I said anything. I wasn't annoyed. I thought I partly answered the question. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

‘Dark Matter’ would be a great name for a trendy range of artisan 90% chocolate The producers would probably sue you for pinching their name. And the producers of the other Dark matter would as well. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

A one in three chance. The same as the chances of catching OSP in a good mood. Odds are not that high. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I think, it is quite interesting. As for me, I watch it because I like it. I don't know the reason, but something intrigued me. Not every sci-fi movie can do that. |

I thought in the beginning that we were going to watch His Dark Materials. It is hard to sort this out. |

That's a very Star Trekkish space station. I thought about Battlestar Galactica. I watched the original series. Yes, that too. |

By the way, I watched the first season of Rings of Power, and I liked it. There are some interesting decisions. |

Rings of power - I'd have to watch it again. There is a lot of stuff happening in it Battlestar G - the ending is not good but the series was spoiled by a massive writers strike 2/3s of the way through.
