TARRANT: Oh, give the man credit for knowing his trade, dirty though it is.
BLAKE: He also has several associates with Federation prices, and one of them is particularly valuable.
Luke MillerI wish Terry Nation was alive so I could ask him about Survivors, a post-apocalypse scifi he created in 1975. It's unlike his dalek stories or his show Blakes 7
Interesting wrinkles to it. I don't know if I would call it feminist but it gives equal time to womens' experiences and all the villains are men trying to recreate patriarchal structures

MOLOCH: I know each one of you.

#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 13 - Terminal
AVON: I saw him. I spoke to him and he-
SERVALAN: You saw nothing. Heard nothing. It was an illusion, a drug- induced and electronic dream. We spent months preparing it. We recreated Blake inside our computers, voice, images, memories, a million fragmented facts. When I was ready, I started sending you the messages, seeding the idea in your mind.

ZUKAN: Avon, show us your freight bay. [Avon pushes one of the buttons on a panel beside the view screen. It shows two techs moving equipment about in the bay.]

ZEN: Destination immanent. Prepare for orbit.
