When I first 'watched' this I only had sound - another fan made me a set of cassette tapes (!) of the whole thing. I didn't see the thing in a bottle until many years later... It's interesting how we all have different slices of it. I had everything up to the last ep of S3/C and didn't see the Terminal or S4/D for years. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Horizon has had a dozen new members already in 2024. Amazing, really. Nearly half a century later, people still discovering B7.

Going back to Vila's outfit, it looks as though he always wanted to run away and join the circus. Well, the Federation world is very bleak, and I imagine that Deltas get the thin end of the functional clothing - very functional indeed. So it's perhaps not surprising that he is breaking out a little. |

I rather like Geela and Novara's base, although it does look like a distant descendent of Rover from the Prisoner. Yes, I like it a lot and you're right about the similarity to the Prisoner. I like their costumes very much, with all the silver. Miles Fothergill without it all is rather "So what?" Probably wouldn't recognise him. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

It's interesting how we all have different slices of it. I had everything up to the last ep of S3/C and didn't see the Terminal or S4/D for years. I had the last two series - so it was called Blake's 7, but we never saw Blake. |

Sorry Cally; you're the focus for everyone's agro this week. Actually, I was wondering how she managed to survive as a freedom fighter, if Auron mythology was always her frame of reference.

Oh look, a mini-Rover is following Blake. Is the Village perhaps run by the Auronar? |

Maybe her limited knowledge is one reason she cosies up to Avon to begin with - he's expert in his field, and his cynicism seems so knowledgeable until you know him better.

I think that Geela and Novara are deliberately colourless, Obsidian. It's part of their artificial nature - they have no personality of their own. The silver outfits add a little glamour. |

Yes, that's the thing. They are made of plastic (or similar) in every respect. It works well. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

For art class at school we blew up a whole lot of weather balloons for some reason I can't remember. I can't remember because one of the blokes blew one up by mouth and it exploded in his face. Painful. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
