Here's a young lady who is watching and reviewing Blake's 7 for the very first time, as well as original series Doctor Who and various other favourites and classics: Marie-Clare's World I had it pointed out to me months ago and have been watching it since. Full reviews are available via Marie-Clare's Patreon page, but the free, cut-down version posted on Youtube is enjoyable enough, with 14-15 minute videos that are 50% snippets of her watching the episode, and 50% discussion and thoughts. Marie-Clare has managed to come to the show spoiler-free. She has just seen "Animals" and has no idea what is to come in future episodes. The YT comments section has been well-behaved, with no one spoiling anything. |

I am watching that too! While I find the whole concept of 'reaction videos' rather strange, it is good to see that B7 can still find a new audience. (And of course we are all little sadists who want to see these poor people get shell shocked at Pressure Point, Terminal, Rescue, Orbit and Blake.) There is another lady who has also only recently discovered B7 and loves it: Alexa Chipman's B7 playlist. |

I’ll have to look those two up. There’s also a podcast that’s over now, but it was two Americans watching through and analyzing Blake’s 7 for the first time. It’s called Zenith.
Don’t be sorry. Be quiet.
The Blake’s 7 section of my blog, where I post fics, art, essays, etcetera. https://thephantomofcygnus.wordpress..../blakes-7/ |

And I'm not talking about when I burn the toast and tell people it's gone through a submutonic overlap shift. There's a real vicarious pleasure in watching people see these for the first time and Alexa is a rather thoughful and insightful viewer. |

As I said a few posts above, the whole idea of reaction videos feels strange to me. On the other hand, it's always good to see that B7 can still attract new viewers. There is again a lady who embarks on the B7 journey for the first time, and she was hooked from the beginning. The funny thing is that her channel is called "sesskasays". I wonder what this particular Seska will say when she comes to Power. You can see her reactions so far here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...3NNP7vv53L |

I've been watching that one since the start and had exactly the same thought about her username and 'Power'. |
