Notes
- The first (of five) episodes written by Allen Prior.
- Gan was unconscious for most of the episode since it was supposed to come after Pressure Point originally.
- The freighter was a re-use of the model of the London from the “Space Fall” episode. When they re-did the special effects, they used the updated London model as well, no changes were made there insofar as the ship design goes.
- Blake says he met Ro’s friend Porah during the events of the “Space Fall” episode, but we never saw that.
- The teleport room has an extra hallway in this episode.

Blake & crew slowly go down to a planet that they first think is some rogue deep space planet, but turns out to be Federation base - but with Federation people that don't know who

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Blake's 7 Ep 17 - "Horizon" - 30 Jan 1979 2/2 Blake is. I also REALLY love that it dealt with some realities of the character's mental health given all the stuff they do. Nice touch. I also love it touched on the real question - "Why DOES Avon stay with Blake"? Excellent ep.

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Blake's 7 Ep 17 - "Horizon" - 30 Jan 1979 3/2 One thing I don't understand tho. In both the OG & new Sfx versions, they have these shots of Vila & Jenna's faces on star fields. It's never quite explained why that was in the episode. No clue what was going on there.
