UnlikelyLass<p>Y'know, it's been long enough since I last watched <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> -- and I was never a completionist -- that I had forgotten a lot of details. Episode 3, Surprise Brian Blessed! I'm rather enjoying it more than I remembered. I think I must have mostly seen season 2, after they got Orac. I'm currently on episode 4, and absolutely appreciating the 70s era classic Dr. Who levels of set design and SFX. The writing is better than Space:1999, IMHO, and there's legit echos of Andor in here.</p>

Mr Lawrence 🇷🇼<p>Had a very long lie in until nearly 11, then a marathon <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> binge, and then a late lunch at the local. That’s about as naughty as I get … 🤷‍♂️</p>

Mr Lawrence 🇷🇼<p>In a side note, every time I look at or mention my miniature PC, I’m reminded of this moment from <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> in which the supercomputer Orac shrinks itself to one-eighth of its normal size for stealth.</p>

JulesJones<p>NO SPOILERS IN COMMENTS PLEASE</p><p>YouTube thinks I need to see a few vids where people watch episodes of <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> for the first time. There are indeed people who have not been spoilered for the finale. :-) Kids these days - in *my* day we couldn't run to the internet to ask if that really happened.</p>

Natasha Jay 🇪🇺<p>Just finished rewatching Series 1 of Blake's Seven 💫, and Orac appears in the final episode ... though I'm sure his voice changed later on. Also he appears to have 4 USB slots (?) which was good in 1978.</p><p>If you can overlook cheap sets and props and that it's a bit "Shakespeare in Space", there's a lot of good things. Paul Darrow (Avon) and Jackie Pearce (Servelan) both magnificent. Stephen Greif (Travis, in S1) too.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/BlakesSeven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlakesSeven</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Orac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Orac</span></a></p>
