Gauda Prime Day

[altariel]

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!

I've never seen 'The Omega Factor'. Any good?

If you aren't bothered by the occult then it's really good; good characters, drama, evil conspiracies, mysterious things happening. Me, I found myself torn, because, unlike Buffy or the Tomorrow People, the psi stuff was too close to real magic practices for me to happily put it in the "pure make-believe" box (e.g. using Ouiji boards etc); I watched it but then I came to think later when I managed to get tapes from someone that I shouldn't have done that.

I'm fine with occult themes. Sounds like something I should try to track down. Wonder if it's made it to DVD yet.
