I'm trying to imagine...

Given the hue and outrage and such from SG fandom, I'm trying to imagine Blake's 7 fandom. If B7 were being done today, with the same cast changes the show had. And deaths.

And, really, I'm imagining a Save Servalan campaign. Not to mention, there would be a whole slew who would PROUDLY claim to have stopped watching when the show jumped the shark (Blake leaving).

I totally think B7 fandom could have given SG fandom a run for its wanky money, back in the day...

Oh gods. Passing through, and I had to comment. The outrage when Travis 1 was exchanged for Travis 2 (a.k.a. 'crap Travis'). The horror when Avon kissed... well, anyone. The wailing and gnashing of teeth when Jenna and Blake just... went. The screams of disbelief when they introduced Slave.

It all happened.

I used to subscribe a Blake's Seven fanzine, 'Horizon' - I got into the show about 15 years after it first aired, but the nitpicking was still going on, and on, and on... Jeepers did they go in-depth. Actually, it was kinda fun. There's a lot to nitpick on B7, and it was mostly pretty friendly - at least in that fanzine. :)
