So the Jacqueline Pearce tribute on the second season Blake's 7 boxset is fascinating, but also quite heartbreaking.

I think if Horizon came out today the press would be screaming "Blake's 7 goes woke!" Possibly not perfect but as critiques of colonialism go it's fantastic for the late 1970s and Darien Angadi is great as Ro.

No response from the Conservative party to my questions about this and the post still remains on her account.
So apparently openly spreading anti-Muslim hate is absolutely fine now

The Conservative Party's leader in London, Susan Hall, just shared this Islamophobic disinformation about Sadiq Khan, after it was posted on X by a racist troll

#Blakes7 Weapon is probably Boucher’s weakest episode, but there is still a lot to enjoy. The story is bobbins but I suspect the realisation didn’t help (I can buy an adult clone of Blake, but one who wears the exact same outfit as him, c’mon!).

#Blakes7 Shadow really is top tier Blakes 7 isn't it? A superb script by Boucher (the best B7 writer for me) that goes from a crime thriller to a cosmic horror/alien invasion story and makes perfect sense doing it. Truly highlights Blake's fanatisim for perhaps the first time.

Starting on my series 2/B #Blakes7 boxset. Never been a huge fan of Redemption, always feels like one of those episodes that spends too long getting to the plot and then wraps everything up too quicky. Needed more time with The System and less with Blake being menaced by electricity wires.

On this Epstein stuff, just a reminder that multiple contestants in the Miss Teen USA pageant - to repeat, TEENAGERS - said that when Trump owned it, he would walk into the dressing room so he could watch them changing clothes

This is what drives me nuts about the whole Epstein files thing. Oh wow, you mean the president is a rapist? There's been a publicly available recording of him talking about sexual assault and laughing about it for almost 10 years that I can find with a few words in YouTube's search.
the president admitted to sexual assault on camera and it didn't matter

Finally went to Titanic Belfast today. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it might be the best museum/attraction I've ever visited. Just incredible. Fascinating and had me in pieces by the end ❤️
