Summary: This series shows what excellent TV is all about
Comment: This series shows what excellent TV is all about. NOT snazzy special effects. The first episode gets one to look past the obvious toy landscapes really fast. As a matter of fact, they play a good part in stimulating the imagination to make everything that much more real, if that makes sense. This is ALL ABOUT THE STORY and great and intense acting. Star Wars may be higher budget, but looks cheesy in comparison. This is an epic of a gang of outcasts, criminals, and rebels, that form a haphazard revolutionary force brought together by fateful circumstances catching everybody in their stream. One gets to understand and like these characters, colorful and even somewhat repulsive some of them may be - human nature in all its detail and contradictions. The series lead author, Terry Nation, may ring a bell from what must be a horrendous pile of books, and some of the finest Dr. Who episodes. The final moments of Blake's friends are truly memorable and will touch you - but watch the series' other episodes, preferrably the whole thing, first.
After "UFO", "The Avengers", "Reilly", "Cosmos", and the "Thunderbirds" I'm afraid this series belongs into my must have category - I wish there were a bargain on a complete collector's box set. ...How about DVD? Amazon[.com], oh Amazon[.col], please talk them into a DVD set!

Summary: This is it the end of a series that changed sci-fi forever
Comment: The last vol of the series Blake's 7 entitled WARLORD and BLAKE

In the epsidoe entitled WARLORD
The Federation pacification program has caught on like wildfire. Soon no one will be able to stop the Federation ever growing grip on the universe. In a last ditch effort Avon has called on the non allied planets to a conference. These worlds working as one could make the anti-toxin needed to stop the Federation cold in its tracks. But everything hinges on the mighty warlord known as Zukan. It is Zukan who holds the most powerful fleet in the universe that could help these other planets fight off the Federation and give them the time needed to give the anti-toxin to those and begins a full scale war aginst the Federation. Avon thinks he may have finally done it finally but an end to the Federation takeover of the known universe. But something doesn't seem right Zukan seems to be thinking of other things. Has Avon gambled and lost?
In the final episode entitled BLAKE

This is it. Everything that has happen that will happen is in this episode. And with that in mind nothing else of this episode shall be mentioned. The ending will make your jaw drop. If you read the other reviews of this episode they will all agree this is one thing that no one can write about. It is an episode that must be watched to be belived. On a personal note this final episode truly shows the scope of the series from the final words spoken in the first epsidoe THE WAY BACK "No I shall be coming back" muttred by Blake to the final few moments of this episode called BLAKE. A series that made sci-fi what it is today and shall be rembered by this reviwer in the years to come.

Summary: The end?
Comment: A great 2 episode build up to a natural, albeit shocking, conclusion to the TV Blake's 7 series. The final moments of the doomy last episode are suitably catastrophic. I remember seeing the episodes in 1981 and that haunting last image stayed with me forever. Excellent!

Summary: The most amazing series finale to ever grace the TV screen.
Comment: The episode "Blake" contained in this video is one of the most amazing, unpredictable and masterfully executed series endings ever to appear on television. I shall not reveal the ending, but suffice it to say, if you've followed the series you will be thinking about it for weeks afterwards.

Summary: I guess the good guys don't always win
Comment: Of course, this is the tape containing the episode "Blake" - a must-see for all fans of this series, especially if you've only seen the last two seasons, where the character 'Blake' wasn't even around and you've been wondering who this chap is that so obsesses our calm, cool, and collected Avon. Suffice to say, there have been a few changes...and you'll never believe the last five minutes! It took me almost an hour to pick my jaw up off the floor.
