All these years later, that ending to Blake's 7 still hurts. I was actually nervous about watching it when I got the DVDs, and was able to see it for the first time in twenty-five years. And it still hurt. It's bloody good, though. :)
You can imagine it back in the day, can't you. Hate campaigns against Chris Boucher. Fans threatening to send the BBC endless packages of Avon cosmetics. To be fair, I have actually written B7 "they all survived, honest" fanfiction in my time, mostly involving freakishly complicated plot twists (I was a teenager, it probably seemed like a good idea). Part of me still does quite like the idea that they escaped. Having finally seen that episode again, though... it's good just as it is, damn it. It really, really is. Painful, but good.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just away to start up a "Bring Back Tarrant And Dayna NOW, Damn It!" campaign. I plan to send the BBC lots of home perm kits, and dolls dressed in very tight leather. Also I will stand outside TV Centre chanting favourite lines of dialogue, and threatening myself with a rubber monster.

It will work. Oh yes.
