Gauda Prime Day

[livejournal.com profile] kalypso_v remembers that it is Gauda Prime Day - the twenty-third anniversary of the screening of the last episode of Blake's 7.

At the time, I was a bright-eyed nine-year-old, with a hope-filled heart and faith in human nature. Fifty minutes of television changed all that. When the credits rolled at the end of the episode, I sat gawping at the screen for a bit, and then ran upstairs and had a big cry. Hurrah for the Christmas spirit!

There's nothing like it. When you watch it again there's all this foreshadowing throughout the episode, but of course I didn't see any of that at the time. All my heroes, gunned down, four days before Christmas.
