Review BLAKE'S 7: "HORIZON" - Episode 17

[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this episode....

The Liberator arrives at the planet Horizon when The Liberator follows a Federation freighter, Where Blake and Jenna teleports to the surface, only to be taken captive by federation guards. Shortly after Cally, Gan and Vila are also taken captive and forced to work in the mines. Avon decides to leave the crew on Horizon and take control of The Liberator, but instead, teleports to the surface to rescue them.

Again, for me, another of those episodes that is a nice idea in principal, but seems spun out beyond it's natural length, in order to fill the fifty minutes.

In favour of it though, I like the gradual capture of each member of the Liberator crew, until Avon is put in the position of making a decision as to what to do about it.

Darien Angadi who played Ro sadly committed suicide in 1981!

William Squire was excellent as he was in everything he did, but maybe his most praiseworthy performance was in Callan.

Also played The Shadow in Armageddon Factor - Dr Who season 16.

I liked the talk of Monopasium 239! The ore being dug from the mines which will power the new Federation ships being designed to send men into new galaxies! The tyranny of earth continues!

William Squire was married to Adam Adamant's Georgina Jones actress Juliet Harmer for a while! Now how do you figure that?

It’s nice to see Avon come through and act like a hero every once in a while. I really wonder what caused his change of heart?

Orac telling him that flotilla 13 had more ships than he could cope with alone probably had him rethinking.

Hmmm, that does ring true.

Our Kerr always used the logic of his own survival against any heroic deed of rescuing his shipmates and Blake!
