41mins: Blake [super ANGRY]: Take all the time you want! [super AGGRESSIVE] YOU CAN DO IT

And a nice little moment where Blake's obsession controls him. super dark really

That moment when he rushes in shouting 'We've done it! I've done it!'

Oops.

So right, Travis. Propaganda at its best.

Gives the whole game away, if he hasn't already. Blake becomes more and more obsessed. On a hiding to nothing really, which is where Avon has been correct all along.

I really do not like this lizard-feeling-your-tits dress. But it's interesting that Servalan seems to have found time to change (and also that she didn't know who Jenna was).

But Jenna made it hard by wearing a different dress.
Maybe that lizard was enjoying itself.

But Avon does no better when it's his turn.

It's interesting to watch how both Paul and Jacs make their characters bigger as the series progresses, while some of the others either didn't realise they could, or didn't have that kind of talent.

Servalan, of all people, should be able to see beyond the dress!

So - your first Downunder rewatch, dodgyville. How was it for you?

Wouldn't Servalan focus on the dress and wonder who designed it etc..? Identifying the wearer would be secondary.

That's the whole thing; it's apples and oranges. They have completely different aims and ambitions. They can't be compared. Avon ends up lumped with something he never wanted and has no idea how to utilise because all he wants is to disappear with riches and a nice research project, not to be leading a fairly pathetic rebellion.

It's great to have some people to talk to about Blake's 7. I have so many opinions of what I see on the screen but really it is an acquired taste.

And yet he continues to lead that rebellion . . .

You know that's really interesting, especially given that Gan just died in this episode. To me one of the foundations of B7 is that each of the seven is a "bad person" that finds themselves in the role of the freedom fighter. It's a really solid foundation but the show often fails to build on it even though it was never afraid to go to dark places.

Gan is a great example. It's kind of suggested throughout the show that he was a violent killer of some kind. Maybe it's possible the show would've explored that more if Jackson had pushed it.
