 Classic Sci-fi action and great writing make this series! April 6, 1999

Blake's 7 came out in the late 70's and early 80's. It stands as a shining example of classic science fiction. Too many science fiction movies and series attempt to use special effects to carry the series. Blake's 7 used intelligent plots and extremely well written characters. This video is the first in the series. And you do need to watch them in order to know what's going on. This series is also one of the most realistic I've seen. The good guys sometimes lose (and lose horribly!), and the bad guys sometimes win. Main characters are killed, new ones are reruited. It is fluid.

"The Way Back" hooked me on this series and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Intriguing plot, revealing Blake's motivations and demonstrating the Federation's desires for total domination and their ruthless methods. "Cygnus Alpha" establishes the creation of most of Blake's crew and introduces the Liberator. Watch these before you see any other episodes. END
Blake is a man sworn to save the universe by any means. March 10, 2002

Blake 7 is the tale of a man who was once a rebel leader who was trying to stop a goverment called the Federation whose grip on earth has gone to the stars and beyond. In this first epsiode we are given a bit of back history of a simple man called Blake. He is unaware that the events to follow would lead him back to where he was five years ago. Blake has found out that his life or what was manufactred by the federation on his capture is a lie. His family is dead thinking they were still alive living in the forinter of space. Old freinds turn out to be false memories. His true freinds turn out to be rebels trying to stop the Federation. Before Blake can do anything the rebels on earth are killed. Only Blkae is alive. The Federation decide to frame Blake and send him to a penal colony for the rest of his life. Once the mockery of a trial is over he along with many other prisoners are sent into space. This epsiode while not action packed is the start of a long story about Blake his decsion to stop the Federation and the crew of prionsers that would follow him into the fight.
The second epsiode on this tape brings us to a ship floating in space with no crew and no reason why its out thier. The ship carrying Blake and the other prisoners to the penal planet stop and tries to take the other ship. Countless crew members from the ship go missing and found dead. The captain wanting this strange ship sends Blake and two others who would form his crew. Avon a egocentric computer genius and Jan a pilot who takes [nothing] from others. They get aboard the ship later to be called the Liberator and be the key tool used by blake and the others. Once agin like the first episode this is being used as a ground to intorduce the charaters and give the viewers a good look into thise that would fight the Federation.
 A must have for fans December 9, 1998

The Terran federation is a fascist dictatorship, the bad guys are bad and the good guys are sometimes worse. This is perhaps the least watched episode in the series (perhaps due to the lack of Paul Darrow)
