That is only a bit of it. I picked up the whole thing in a previous sale and enjoyed it.

As I have Britbox, I am rewatching the show. Season A finished. Now on to Season B.

Gan has now met his ignoble end. I had forgotten how much Blake was increasingly frothing at the mouth in Series B.
'Trial' tomorrow.

Hmm, Blake, HMM.
I see BF have announced a raft of new B7 stuff. I'm still trying to get the last few Liberator Chronicles CDs before they go out of print. That is also part of the 'complete incomplete collections' mission going on this year.

Nearing the end of Series B. Should start Series C next week! So far my opinion of the 2nd series has not changed: some good stuff but overall not a patch on the first series and Travis 2 is rubbish. My memory is that it picks up a lot in the third series and the fourth is fab. We shall see how the rewatch progresses!

1 & 4 are great.
3 starts good, meanders badly for a bit, then picks up - you can pinpoint the precise moment in City on the edge of tomorrow when Avon's had enough of the curly haired idiot and takes charge. Couple of wobbly episodes but generally good from that point on. Rumours of Death and Terminus are superb
2 .... yeah wanders about all over the place. Some good, some not so

Series B is by far the weakest with three crap ones in a row before 'Star One'. Phil is correct: the first and last series are the best. -Ralph

Reckon the majority of B7 fandom would plump for C from what I remember of my fandom days. I've always been partial to the diversity in B, but D was the season I first saw. Which means obviously A is best.

A is the best season, especially in terms of adherence to the original concept. Season C is a good ‘Star Trek with Bastards’ but it’s really clear the show doesn’t know what it’s doing.
B does have Countdown which is probably one of the best episodes.

Countdown is a good one.

Reached the end of Series C. My memory did not cheat. So much better than Series B.
Avon's mad smile at the end...is Darrow corpsing?
