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:
Moloch - "Sevalan would not leave her HQ or the bulk of her battle fleet unless she was very confident about something. It's that confidence that intrigues me." Just why is Servalan bound for Sardos, a planet in the outer darkness of the galaxy? And is it worth Avon risking all their lives to find out?
Death Watch - The United Planets of Teal and the Vandor Confederacy are at war. Now their two champions must do battle before the panel of arbiters to decide the outcome, while the universe looks on. Simple enough. Except Tarrant's brother is the First Champion of Teal and Servalan is the neutral arbiter...

"Moloch" the crew of the Liberator secretly follows their archenemy Servalan to the outer rim of known space, to a planet where Servalan has powerful friends, or so she thinks. Watch Tarrant, Avon, and Servalan fight for their lives.

In "Death-Watch" come with Avon and crew on vacation to a war between two planets, a war fought by only two champions in dual to the death. Don't worry each of the warring parties will protect you even from the evil Federation. But watch out, the warring parties have pick Servalan to act as referee over the dual, the fools.

This review is from: Blake's 7, Vol. 19 - Moloch / Death Watch [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Both of these episodes begin with an interesting premise but disappoint with their endings. "Moloch" is particularly disappointing and rates two stars at best. One noteworthy point in this episode is that some of Servalan's Federation soldiers finally turn the tables on her. In "Death Watch," author Chris Boucher returns to his disappointing ways. Boucher often comes up with interesting plots, but is sometimes unable to come up with a satisfying ending. Plus, for some reason Boucher is determined to develop some sort of sexual tension between Avon and Servalan and the scene with the two of them together is almost laughable. The principle plot focuses on Tarrant's brother who represents his people as "First Champion" in a duel to the death that will determine the outcome of a war. Of course, Servalan figures out a way to meddle in this event to her advantage and the crew of the Liberator works to foil her plot. (Is this beginning to sound familiar? Seeing less of Servalan makes her a more menacing, mysterious figure. She has been incredibly overused in Season Three, much to the show's detriment.)
