30 Days of Blake's 7 - day 16
16 May 2026 09:59 pmDay 16: Best use of a hoary old trope
It seems that every SF series must have an arena episode, and B7's one is Duel. It's pretty good as arena eps go - we have Jenna and Blake up a tree with vampire bats, Travis with pointy sticks, and there's the intriguing introduction of mutoids, though I wish they had explored them further in later eps.
B7 also has a courtroom ep of sorts, with Trial, though with very little actual courtroom, to my relief - yeah, not a fan - though I'm not sure if the spit planet is an improvement.
I can't answer most of the remaining questions, so I'll see if I can come up with some alternate ones.
All the questions are on Tumblr.
