About this episode

The episode reviews the finale of Series A of Blake's 7, focusing on the episode 'Orac' and its emotional and suspenseful elements.

Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7! We’re wrapping up Series A of Blake 7 with a bang in this episode, and it’s all about the finale, “Orac.” Can you believe we made it here? It feels like we were getting our feet wet just yesterday in the wild universe of Blake's 7. This episode had it all: intrigue, suspense, and a touch of emotional depth. As Blake and his crew race against time to prevent Servalan and Travis from getting their hands on Orac, we delve into a narrative that balances action with character development. The tension builds as we witness Ensor's frailty and the crew's desperate attempts to save him, all while dodging Federation threats. The performances shine, especially Derek Farr's as Ensor, who brings a quirky yet poignant touch to the role. It’s a bittersweet finale that leaves us on the edge of our seats, pondering what’s next for our favorite space rogues. And that cliffhanger? Total game-changer! How can you not be itching to dive into Series B after that? We hope you enjoy our review of the episode Orac, and fear not, we're back next week to kick off some bonus episodes, starting with a wrap-up review of Series A…
