Gauda Prime Day

[altariel]

As well as the shortest day, solstice, whatnot, today is Gauda Prime Day, the 24th anniversary of the first screening of Blake, the last episode of Blake's 7.

I was nine. It screwed with my head. I still haven't recovered. Huzzah!

I was 11. It scarred me for life too.

There were only two times in my childhood when the whole school was in shock, after Gan's death and after we'd seen "Blake". I'll never forget wandering around the playground hearing people say, "They're not dead. They couldn't kill all of them." Then others added, "Well, they killed Gan and Cally.

I started my PGP just to make the misery go away.

And Zen! Don't forget Zen! (I think I was saddest about Zen; I wasn't yet watching when Gan died so it didn't have the impact.)

Don't mention Zen!

It broke my heart. The best spaceship ever, lost! Zen, dying like that! And then Cally! :(

That's why I started writing fanfic. So I suppose it's not all bad.

And Terry Nation said Avon and Vila had to survive in Tony Attwood's book and he wanted to do a new series with them.
