Season 4, Episode 13
8/10
Prime Gouda.

Warning: Spoilers
So I lay to rest the cold calculating logic, gamesmanship and negotiation/ blackmail that pursued my 4 seasons of Blake's 7, which was really 5 or 6 and mostly didn't include Blake.

Instead I lay my hat on a season finale which made no sense other than a bunch of stuff happening, spaceships crash, people appear from nowhere pull off their metaphoric masks and behave very badly. And then THEY ALL DIE HORRIBLY......for no real reason.

Shocking then as it is still, but more of less a cheap gag and inconsistent with the rest of the show's episodes.

Happily no Servalan whose twist reveal became a trope after 3 episodes and continued throughout the season but sadly no more Soolyn who could butter bread for 52 minutes and I would watch. Shallow I know but we all have needs. Dempsey & Makepeace anyone?
