It was the first ep w/ the new Travis who was OK, but I liked the first better. There were a lot of parts of this that were overly dry and talky.

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Blake's 7 Ep 16 - "Weapon" - 23 Jan 1979 2/2 I usually like Travis episodes, but this one was a bit weird. That might be down to problems they had with the director. I did however really love the clone plot line, and especially where Travis kills Blake at the start. Loved that.
