Reactions/Reviews
"I just saw this video yesterday and it blew me away. It conveys, better than some of the eps 8-), the profound despair and sense of loss that underlie the series. Without being overly sentimental, it sums up "Blake's 7" as a tragedy."[1]
"I agree with you wholeheartedly. That particular sequence is a stunningly powerful piece of video. The song itself is pretty strong in its own right but, together with the clips of Blake's struggle and the constant cutting back to his bloody body lying on the floor on Gauda Prime, it really does "sum up "Blake's 7" as a tragedy".[2]
"Even though the tape I saw was several generations old, it was incredibly powerful. It's been a long time since the final scenes have moved me (except to annoyance with Avon) but watching the video I remembered how I felt the first time I saw it. The video also made me see with fresh eyes the horror of it all -- from the first massacre to the last.[3]
"Once again, I am extremely impressed by the way the video clips have been put together with the music: eg., from Terminal:This piece seems to neatly capture the nature of the complex relationship between Blake and Avon."[4]
- "I hear your voice inside me," Avon unconscious and being hypnotised.
- "I see your face everywhere," Avon examines Blake's medical records.
