I think the problem the show has is, weirdly, something early #BlakesSeven got right (until the third series onwards): in seasons 2 of Blakes 7 the Federation is complicated and nuanced; it does bad things in order to maintain general control for the benefit of the masses.

#WordWeavers day 20: If you could write a tie-in novel for any movie, TV show, or game, what would it be?

After looking up what a "tie-in novel" is, (which looks a bit like approved fan fiction to me), I think I'd love to write some Blake's Seven adventure.

Listening to quantum atoms talk together thanks to acoustics

What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely packed atoms? At EPFL, you get a metamaterial, an engineered material that exhibits exotic properties.

Just finished rewatching Series 1 of Blake's Seven 💫, and Orac appears in the final episode ... though I'm sure his voice changed later on. Also he appears to have 4 USB slots (?) which was good in 1978.

If you can overlook cheap sets and props and that it's a bit "Shakespeare in Space", there's a lot of good things. Paul Darrow (Avon) and Jackie Pearce (Servelan) both magnificent. Stephen Greif (Travis, in S1) too.
