Blake’s Seven Remembered


This was occasioned by Blake's Seven being repeated on the "Forces Channel" on satellite.  I've watched a few episodes and it still stands up remarkably well. 

Blake’s Seven Remembered

Blake’s Seven: Now On Satellite TV
The perfect place for The Way Back
The Liberator in orbit, there to see
And the Federation on Blake’s track

Totalitarianism, docility drugging
Champion of justice: Blake’s Way
Jena, Vila, Avon together bring
Escaping to fight another day

Gan died, Blake left, and Jena too
And then it was just Avon’s Five
Always Servalan arrives, on cue
A final ending: no heroes alive

Memories of days when I was young
Space Opera adventures so far flung
