I'm enjoying re-watching Blake's 7 so much that I decided to start a discussion about it. Who else wants to join in?
I can't remember most of the episodes because I was about 9 when I watched them, so it's like something new, but it is such a good series. High time for a remake.
Me and my friends used to play Blake's 7 in the playground. I was always Cally. We were all girls so some played male roles.
Avon is such a great character! I love his constant arguing with Blake and I realise now why I liked Avon. Apart from the fact he's a handsome man, he is actually a more attractive character than Blake. All Blake does is shout and get angry. It's very tiring. They should have shown a softer side to him. At least Avon is a bit funny sometimes. And they should have just got another actor to play him when Gareth Thomas left. It was a bit stupid having Blake's 7 without Blake.
Also I'd forgotten about Travis in his head-to-toe black leather costume. Well! And I like his hatred of Blake too, the way he is always trying to kill Blake, but Blake avoids killing him in order to score moral points.
A much better series than I remember, at first I didn't want to watch it because it was one of the last series I watched with my dad before he died. But re-watching it is actually making me happy. I can imagine my dad chuckling at some of the silly scenes.
If anyone wants to discuss this series with me, please do!
I missed that Blake 7 somehow, wrong generation I think, if it was going on polish TV it stopped when I was a baby
I like Stargate, wachted all series 3 times over, except spaceflying part
I found Batttlestar Galactice ridiculous in its concepts of travel, I had to be silent about it since my buddies loved Kara so much LOL, btw in original series Cylons had 1,2 or 3 brains depending on rank, there was only one with 3 brains, in remake with Kara they changed it all
among Star Treks I liked Deep Space 9 only, because it was happening inside the station most of the time, their idea of travelling was ridiculous too
there was something called Dark Matter, their idea of travelling was less ridiculous then most, and it was more of an action TV Series than sci-fi, so almost watchable
but at last something more realistic was created The Expanse and I love it, I read all books written so far as well, 8 of them, TV Series covers 5
Yes I think you are too young to have seen Blake's 7. But I didn't realise there is a huge fanbase for it, that started when it was on and has continued for 40 years. They really need to remake it for the modern era and make Blake stay in it for the whole series ffs.
I like Stargate. I WISH they'd finished Stargate Universe, that was an amazing series.
I liked DS9 because the storylines didn't all end neatly, they were messy and people were horrible to each other. Early Star Trek was all too neat and tidy.
I didn't like Battlestar Galactica, it was too confusing and silly.
My favourite sci fi is of course! Star Wars! Only episodes 4, 5 and 6 though. Didn't like 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9.
I have never seen Star Wars.
I am a Battlestar Galactica fan.
I watched and enjoyed the original 1978 season.
Then came the awful 1980 sequel. I thought it was terrible at the time. Forty years later, while doing internet research I discovered that millions of people agreed with me and the series was cancelled half way through filming because the viewing figures collapsed.
It is very nasty and selfish of them to keep us in suspense like that.
Many sci-fi series have been cancelled prematurely because the viewing figures were low, and probably advertising revenue, but the die hard fans enjoyed them.
I am going to spoiler alert but not saying what it is, but in Tome 8 of The Expanse there is something capable of challanging that magnificence of creation in Stargate Universe
nobody watched The Expanse. Why?????
yes, they reallllllly should have completed Stargate Universe, such a pity it was cancelled.
That is no excuse Robert. Go to bed without any supper and write out 100 times:
"I must watch Star Wars."
good mkan kudos
and SG Universe is really a masterpiece
to witness the creation of the outer edges of the universe
what can compete with that
I've seen every episode of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and universe.
