i love travelling by train because where else am i going to get such intensely ominous travel instructions like these? thank you via rail for inserting my train ride into the horror genre for me.

"go into the woods. there is no road to get here. there is no indication of where you need to go. you must find the single post. ensure you are ready. there are no people around to help you. you cannot call for help should you need it. there is no shelter here. you are alone. you are alone. be ready. you are alone."

Just saw a YouTube short refer to the book as "Moby Richard"

I despise algorithm-driven speech so much.

Blake's 7 is like Firefly if the characters hated each other. It's like 70s Doctor Who without the Doctor. It's like Star Trek if the Federation were evil.

The first two seasons ware written entirely by Terry Nation. The best episodes of the show are written by Chris Boucher (who wrote "the Face of Evil.") The worst episodes of the show are written by Ben Steed (aka Captain Misogyny). I think every single person who worked on both Blake's 7 and Doctor Who did a better job on Blake's 7. And that was most of the people who worked on Blake's 7.

It's seventies monochrome and overwhelmingly cynical. I recommend it to people who hate happiness. The writing is by and large good, the effects are and large not, the acting and characters are phenomenal. Blake is written as a Hero and acted as a villain; Avon is written as villain and acted as a Hero. They all wear a LOT of leather. Nothing is black and white except for Servalan's wardrobe. The end of the s2 finale is arguably the greatest moment in all of science fiction. It's Doctor Who's evil bastard baby brother - Mordred to Doctor Who's Galahad, if you will.

It's four seasons of 13 episodes each. It will change your life. (Padme voice: for the better, right? ............right??)

holy shit. the prospect of half a TV show written by Terry Nation but with no Daleks anywhere to be seen is... difficult to grasp

i am sold. thank you extremely much for this write-up
