Hmmm. You . . . have possibly succeeded in persuading me to try watching this show again.

Have I ever told you my experience with Blake's 7? The same PBS station that introduced me to Doctor Who back in the 70s used to also show Blake's 7. I tried watching the show, but didn't enjoy it. And I've never gone back to it since. So my only exposure is, um, an unknown amount of viewing a few decades ago when I was a child. Some of the character names sound familiar, but only because I've run across them in fandom here and there (including your LJ).

To be honest, though, I just don't know if I'm going to enjoy it. I don't like dark, tragic storylines. I didn't like the Battlestar Galactica reboot because it was too dark, even though I have to admit that it was brilliantly done. I didn't like Genesis of the Daleks because it was a war story. (On the other hand, the Giant Clam bothered me not at all. *g*) I don't insist on happy endings, but I don't enjoy endings of "everything sucks, and here's another example."

Given this, do you think I should try B7 again? I can at least vouch that the quarries and special effects won't be a problem . . .

I guess I can just try it, right? Although I'm shocked that it's not out in Region 1.
