When I was a teenager, one of my favourite shows was
Blake's 7. My friend George and I would get together and watch the show and discuss the plots and characters. For me, growing up in Australia, I much preferred the British SF shows to the American ones.
Dr. Who, Blake's 7,
The Day of the Triffids were more 'realistic' when compared to the plastic-looking
Battlestar Galactica or
Buck Rogers.
And now Syfy has announced plans to re-invent Blake's 7. The director is supposedly the same director from
Casino Royale, which is cool, but the writer's credentials include
CSI and
Heroes which somewhat concerns me.
As
The Guardian states, "If Syfy get Blake's 7 right, it could be great. That doesn't stop the law of averages meaning it will probably be awful."
