"Aftermath" is the first episode of the third season of Blake's 7. Apparently, it is also the title of a later, edited TV movie composed of various TV episodes unwisely cut together. As a result, this IMDb page is rather confused, as both comments and ratings are a mix of these two different items!
To clarify, in the following I am reviewing the original episode, the 1st of the 3rd season. This is one of the best episodes of the entire show. In the aftermath of an intergalactic war, our main characters (except for Blake himself, who's busy somewhere else, and the show doesn't suffer from his absence; rather the opposite!) have crash-landed on various planets, most of which have primitive, warlike or evil ruling cultures, and the Liberator must scramble to pick up its crew members before it's too late. The episode has got new and interesting characters, esp. the intelligent and amazon-like Dayna, and her hilarious Disco Daddy of a father, who looks more like a nightclub regular than a futuristic weapons inventor. Their beach base is also entertainingly low-budget (the whole episode takes place in the sandy dunes), although on the inside (recorded in some studio) it is impressively futuristic. Orac also has some cool moments (also while buried in the sand).
Generally, this is one of the most entertaining episodes of them all, and it well deserves an 8 out of 10 rating.
