[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!

Awww! Never underestimate the power of television.

My hope-filled heart and faith in human nature were destroyed several years earlier, but also at the age of nine. The ending of 'Blake' just confirmed it. That, and being at secondary school by then.

Yes, secondary school really put the final nail in, I think. And then I found fandom.

And then I found fandom.

Ooooh, the ambiguity.
