Blake's 7 is a British science fiction television series that aired from 1978 to 1981. The show follows a group of rebels who operate a sentient, living spacecraft called the Liberator, as they fight against a totalitarian government known as the Federation.
In season 2, we start with the episode titled Redemption. The episode opens with the Liberator crew attempting to steal a shipment of crystals from the Federation, which they plan to sell in order to finance their rebellion. However, they are ambushed by a group of bounty hunters led by a man named Tyce. In the ensuing battle, one of the crew members, Gan, is killed and the Liberator is badly damaged.
The crew manages to escape to a nearby planet, where they meet a group of rebels who are also fighting against the Federation. One of the rebels, named Del Grant, recognizes Avon from their time together as criminals before the events of the series. Avon is initially wary of Del's intentions but eventually agrees to work with him to repair the Liberator.
As they work together, tensions rise between the two men, as Avon becomes increasingly suspicious of Del's motives and his past association with the Federation. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew are forced to fend off attacks from the bounty hunters, who are still pursuing them.
Redemption is a tense and action-packed episode that sets the tone for the rest of the season. It explores themes of trust, betrayal, and redemption, as the characters confront their past mistakes and their uncertain future. The episode also introduces several new characters and plotlines that will continue to develop throughout the season, keeping viewers engaged and on the edge of their seats. Overall, Redemption is a strong start to what promises to be another thrilling season of Blake's 7.
