Notes
- The first episode with the Blake’s 7 crew all established on the ship as full regulars.
- The actor Deep Roy (real name Gurdeep Roy) appears as a Decima in this story. He would later play roles in the episodes “Gambit” & “Moloch“.
- The Decima suits are repainted costumes worn by the Zygons in the Doctor Who episode “Terror of the Zygons“.
- At the end of the episode, Blake sets course for Centero, the same place he sets course for at the end of the Time Squad episode, and the location of the events of the next episode.

That happens a few times in the next 3 seasons. The bulk of this takers place on a planet with a race called the Decimas. It's hilarious to me

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Ep 5 - "The Web" - 30 Jan 1978 2/2 that Terry Nation thought the Decimas could rival the Daleks. This is a mostly blah ep, doesn't do a lot for me - the planet story was uninteresting. I found the Cally sabotage story more interesting, but it wasn't strong enough for a full ep.
