#Blakes7 Series B, Episode 04 - Horizon
RO: We may have lived in caves, but we did have our own culture. And our own weapons, which still have their uses.
KOMMISSAR: You have no part of that now. You're one of us. At the Central Educational Complex, you were my most able scholar. The graduation order you wear was my personal gift.
#Blakes7 Series B, Episode 08 - Hostage
AVON: Yes, it is. I don't trust him
VILA: Why.
AVON: When he saw Blake go, he had a limp. When he went back into the cave, he didn't have a limp.
VILA: Perhaps he's a fast healer.
#Blakes7 Series A, Episode 04 - Time Squad
GAN: Get around.
AVON: Down another point. More lateral.
[Interior. Alien projectile. Blake and Jenna]
[Interior. Liberator flight deck.]
VILA: You're too close. Pull away, Avon.
#Blakes7 Series D, Episode 13 - Blake
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.
I 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
I also think the female actors detected this and fleshed out these threads more than the scripts showed maybe?
#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 11 - Moloch
MOLOCH: I know each one of you.
VILA: What is it?
AVON: A man from our future. Someone was stupid enough to take a computer prediction and turn it into reality.
Our podcast episode on the Blake's 7 story Power is out now!
Find it at Libsyn, iTunes, Spotify, Audible and elsewhere.
Methinks the new Blake's 7 will be a bit shit.
"It's not for the fans."
'I'm the biggest fan going.'
Yeah, so it'll probably be nothing like and original then, and more like some sad fan wank rubbish. Like what Chris Chibnall and RTD turned the latest runs of Doctor Who into.
He'll probably have a musical episode as well.
#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 10 - Ultraworld
ULTRA 1: Activate final fail-safes. Now. Something on that ship.
[INTERIOR. Liberator flight deck]
VILA: If a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 10 - Ultraworld
VILA: [V.O.] You're telling me that. I was talking to him and he suddenly broke contact. Not a word of explanation.
