Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!
Diving into "Duel," we're exploring the intense showdown between Blake and Travis that takes this episode to another level. While the plot itself is pretty straightforward, it does a great job of highlighting the contrasting natures of our main characters. Blake's protective instincts clash with Travis's ruthless pursuit, showing us that even in the face of danger, there's depth to their motivations.
We also delve into the absence of Dudley Simpson's iconic music, which leaves the episode feeling a bit off for us.
Overall, does this episode move our score meter into the red or does it hold up despite its potential short comings?
