5.0 out of 5 stars "Horizon" and "Pressure Point" are the two episodes here, November 28, 1998

This review is from: Blake's 7, Vol. 09 - Horizon / Pressure Point [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of my favorite Blakes 7 tapes! "Horizon", where they happen on a primitive world being strip-mined and enslaved by the Federation, contains one of the most-quoted Avon lines of the series..."I'm not expendible, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going!" "Pressure Point" is one of the pivotal episodes, where the first of the crew actually dies (but you have to watch it to find out which one.)

Blake wonders what the Federation wants out here in the middle of know where. Nither Zen nor ORAC can figure out why so Blake decides to find out. There he finds Federation soldiers working with a primative people. Some seem to be mining something while others seem to be reaping the rewards of being freinds with the Federation. Blake has to find out the truth behind Horizon or die trying.
The next episode entitled PRESSURE POINT
Blake has just made course corrections to Earth. There he intends to rip out the very heart of the Federation the computer known as Control. Gan points out to blake and the others that control is the one place in the Federation where no one has broken into. blake doesn't care he want's to end this war with the Federation and to do that he must destroy control. A group of rebels operating on earth are meeting with Blake and the others. Servalan and Travis have been watching this group for sometime to spring on Blake and the others. Can Blake win?

This review is from: Blake's 7, Vol. 09 - Horizon / Pressure Point [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Volume 9 of "Blake's 7" on video contains two more episodes of this classic British sci-fi series. These episodes continue the saga of Blake, a rebel who is waging an interplanetary war against the oppressive Federation.

In "Horizon" (the first episode on the tape), Blake and his crew travel to the distant planet Horizon, where the natives are being ruthlessly exploited as slave labor by the Federation. A struggle emerges involving Blake's crew, the visiting Federation official, and the native leader who has been turned into a Federation puppet. I can't help but view this episode as an ironic commentary on England's own colonial past in Africa and India.

In "Pressure Point," the next episode, Blake plans a daring strike on Earth, the heart of the Federation. This is a grim and suspenseful episode. This installment also offers a tantalizing glimpse into the background of Blake's nemesis Servalan.

These episodes contain many of the elements that make B7 such a compelling saga: intriguing characters, intelligent dialogue, and low-budget inventiveness. Essential viewing for fans of great sci-fi sagas.
