From the Back Cover

Fast moving space adventure set in a time of galactic chaos. The tyrannical Terran Federation is in ruins and the freedom fighter Blake is missing. With many new dangers lying ahead in the aftermath of the intergalactic war, Avon reluctantly finds himself at the helm of the Liberator.

Episodes:
Terminal - "I don't want you with me. I don't want you following me. Understand this. Anyone who does follow me, I'll kill them." Has Avon gone mad? Having guided the Liberator to the man made planet of Terminal with no explanation he's teleported down - alone. Could this be the end at last? It certainly looks that way as Servalan closes in and the Liberator begins to disintegrate...
Rescue - Cally is dead - a victim of Servalan's booby-trapped bequest of a planet. The Liberator has been destroyed. With Avon colder than ever, the crew must raise the will to fight on for their lives. Cue the enigmatic Dorian with an escape route off Terminal and the offer of friendship...

This review is from: Blake's 7 - Terminal / Rescue [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The next vol. of Blake's 7 entitled TERMINAL and RESCUE

In the epsidoe entitled TERMINAL
Avon has been avoding the crew. The few times Avon has been corned by any of the crew he has threaten to kill them. The only clue they have is the heading for the planet called Terminal. What little to know of the planet is that it was man made and it seems that Avon is going alone. Avon goes down and finds a Federation base and there he finds....Blake. The others begin to worry so Tarrant and Cally head down as well. But Dayna and Villa are being attacked by some kind of space leech that is killing Liberator. Avon soon finds out it is a trap by Servalan she wants nothing more then the Liberator. Avon not knowing what is happening to the Liberator begins a deadly bargin that may or may not work out. This marks a truly sad point in the series with the loss of the Liberator and marking a darker turn in the universe of Blake's 7 that no one would ever thought of.
In the next epsidoe entitled RESCUE
The Liberator is destoyed even worse the base that Avon and the others were in has just exploded with Cally still in it. Avon, Villa, Tarrant,Dayna and Orac have nothing, no weapons and very little chance to live. The life on Terminal is dangerous but all seems not lost a ship lands and a salvage operator named Dorian comes to the rescue. Soon on board the ship Scorpio they head to where Dorian lives and works. But all seems not to be as Dorain has a vast complex and seems to be getting older by the second. Even his compaion the trigger happy Soolin seems to wonder what is going on. Have Avon and the others found themselves in a trap that not even the federation could have come up with. If so then who is springing the trap?

4.0 out of 5 stars ... the jaws of death ..., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blake's 7 - Terminal / Rescue [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A welcome "return" (?) of a missing central character in Terminal in a well written episode. Should the series have ended with this episode? No. There are darker sides to come in series 4 ...

All right, so this isn't really a happy ending either. (the show wasn't really a 'happy ending' kind of series) The problem with Blake's 7, after this volume, is that it becomes ever darker and darker and more reliant upon needless violence to flesh out many of the stories to the required time. This is a pity, too, because Blake's 7 (up to this point) always seemed to me how the BBC would have done Star Trek, had they been asked to produce it. While it is fun, in a series, to see all your favorite characters 'doing it all again, one more time', watching the way that season 4 destroys the characters and everything that they've worked for almost makes one wish that the BBC hadn't extended the show the extra season. On the other hand, perhaps I am just being morbid. Watch the remaining episodes if you wish, but mark my words: it will all just end in tears.
