The title of this page used to be "the best science fiction around", but that's Babylon 5, these days. But the reasons for Blake's 7 excellence remain: A series where you're not guaranteed that happy ending at the end of the episode, one with moral ambiguity, with enough layers to it that years later fans can reasonably disagree as to whether A would have betrayed B given the chance. (Letters chosen not entirely at random.) Oh, yeah, and with cheezy special effects. That goes without saying.

By special request, a picture of Orac (oh, yeah, and Vila too).

Okay then. Web sites with Blake's 7 material on them:

Two UK sites, http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/SciFi/Blakes7/ and http://www.bubl.bath.ac.uk/BUBL/SFiction.html, one Australian site, http://connexus.apana.org.au/~kat/, and a couple of US sites, http://hawks.ha.md.us/blake7/index.html and http://www.quipu.com/~chris/b7page.html. My former favorite site, http://www.phlab.missouri.edu/HOMES/ccpeace_www/Blakes7/, seems ito be defunct. If it has relocated, please let me know where!

Check out Yahoo's Blake7 listing to see if it has any more than these (feel free to let me know by e-mail if I'm missing any). The html version of the FAQ for the e-mail list is under construction. Check out the FTP archives at ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/blake7 for more Blake's 7 material.
