Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!

We’re wrapping up our ride through Series A of Blake 7, and boy, what a wild ride it’s been! From the dark themes in the first episode to some serious character growth, we’ve been on a journey that’s hooked both newbies and old-school fans alike. We’re very grateful for everyone who’s joined us on this trip, whether you’re rewatching or just tuning in for the first time.

It’s clear that Adam and I are riding high on a wave of nostalgia and excitement in this episode. We reflect on how we got here, from the very first episode to the last, thanking everyone who’s tuned in along the way. It’s been a journey of rediscovery for me, especially since I’d previously struggled with the show. Now, I’m all in!

We chat about our favorite episodes, with 'Seek Locate Destroy' stealing the spotlight for its thrilling narrative and incredible character development. The tension between Blake and Avon is palpable, and I can’t help but love how their dynamic evolves over time. Adam brings up how Travis and Servalan are a dream team of villainy, and we can’t wait to see how their stories unfold in Series B.

We also take a moment to recognize the hard work behind the remastering of this classic series and give props to the amazing crew who made it happen and... speaking of those people, our next bonus episode is an interview with visual effects supervisor and model extraordinaire Chris Thompson! Tune in next week for a geeky chat about Chris's work on bringing new effects that fit into Blake's 7's unique, classic look and some other tidbits of his work on other shows. Thanks, Chris!

We're teleporting out for now! Thanks for listening and don't forget to follow and subscribe on your preferred podcast app so you never miss an episode.

You can also join the conversation and stay updated by following us on Twitter/X and Bluesky, we'd love to hear your thoughts and theories!

Join us next time as we continue our journey through the universe of Blake’s 7.
