A:02 Space Fall: Does Blake's Mutiny End in Success?
01/20/25 • 80 min
Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!
The second episode of Blake's 7, "Space Fall," marks a significant development in the series' narrative arc, diving deeper into the dynamics of its characters and the unfolding plot. The episode picks up immediately after the events of the pilot, "The Way Back," as Blake and his newly formed band of convicts find themselves aboard the prison ship London en route to Cygnus Alpha.
We loved dissecting this episode, highlighting the contrasting personalities within the group, particularly between Blake, Avon, Jenna and the ship's crew, particularly Raiker. There are darker undertones and more action in this second outing to discuss, too, so without further ado - let's dive right in!

A:03 Cygnus Alpha: Religion, Control and Brian Blessed Shouting
Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!
Join us for our review of Episode 3 "Cygnus Alpha." This episode takes a darker turn, exploring themes of control and suppression as Blake and his crew confront a menacing religious group led by the charismatic Vargas, played by the legendary Brian Blessed.
As Blake attempts to rescue prisoners from a harsh penal planet, we witness the tension between him and Avon, who is more interested in riches than rebellion. Jenna's character shines as she navigates the conflict between loyalty to Blake and the temptations presented by Avon.
With a blend of humour and action, "Cygnus Alpha" continues to build on the dynamic character relationships and overarching narrative. Let's touch down on this strange and unexpected planet as we further our journey into Blake's 7.
