thisbluespiritI am currently just a deep well of sadness, so it seems appropriate enough to post this, which of course I meant to post two days ago when I reblogged it again on tumblr. I am being bad at getting round to crossposting and thus having these safely stored up here, but here's no. 2.
(I was not normally doing episodes for Old TV that actually has a fandom, but I made this two years ago when we hit the 40th anniversary of Gauda Prime. And it genuinely is one of my fave episodes of anything, because sometimes I like to eat tragedy up with a spoon and this is the awesome kind.)
Original post on tumblr.
Favourite episodes of old telly: Blake's 7 4.13 “Blake” (BBC 21st December 1981; written by Chris Boucher; dir. Mary Ridge.)
“In the end, winning is the only safety.”
#i normally do a write up for these #but b7 has a fandom #so let's just say that i am sadistic #and this is my favourite b7 ep of all #and i mean #look at mary ridge's direction here #i was just spoiled for choice #b7 spoilers #gauda prime day
(Honestly, this remains my basic commentary. If you know, you know. If you don't, you'd be better off watching the series. Anyway, when I first watched these after some fellow fans who loved both classic Who and Spooks bullied me into it, just before I watched this, "There is nothing in the world this show can do to make me love it more now" I said to myself ... and then David Collings walked in, and that is B7 for you.)
(Some of these episodes aren't "here's my cathartic episodes of sadness I rewatch a lot" I swear.)
Anyway, belated Happy Gauda Prime Day to those of us whocelebrate commiserate! ♥
