 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Blake's 7
| Wisdom must be gathered. It cannot be given. Which of the seven says this line? | 'Blakes 7' Escape from the Federation (Phyllis_n_Jean) |
Zen. Zen unhelpfully says this when Avon asks if the teleport system will be harmful to them.
| Why is Blake confined to his seat at the end of the first episode, The Way Back? | 'Blakes 7' Escape from the Federation (Phyllis_n_Jean) |
He did not put his seatbelt on. Blake didnt hear the guards order to fasten his harness because he was still hoping for a reprieve before take off.
| Why do Blake and Jenna think Avon will betray them to the prison ship crew? | 'Blakes 7' Escape from the Federation (Phyllis_n_Jean) |
He is the only one capable of faking the ships running log. Avon, being a computer whiz, is the only person on the ship who can fake the running log. In Jennas words, He fixes the log, the crew dump us, pocket the profit and set him free. The reason he doesnt do it, as Blake points out, is that the crew would have to kill him to keep him quiet.
| Who was the one who inadvertently betrayed the gang to the authorities in the final episode which led to a shootout where none survived? | "Blake's 7" Questions (Doug_from_nz) |
Blake. I must admit, I NEVER would have guessed he of all would do that (not least because Servalan had lied to Avon and co a year ago and said Blake was actually killed in an accident).
But it turned out that Blake was only pretending to be a traitor, so Avon killed him under the wrong impression. Which only makes it all worse.
| Who throws Oracs control box across the Liberator flight deck? | 'Blake's 7' Season 1 (Phyllis_n_Jean) |
Avon. After Orac makes a prediction that the space vehicle will explode, Avon makes the point that Orac is just a machine with this uncharacteristic display of irrationality (episode 13, Orac).
| Who is the last of the seven to join the Liberator crew? | 'Blake's 7' Season 1 (Phyllis_n_Jean) |
Cally. Blake, Jenna and Avon are the first on the Liberator in episode 2 (Space Fall), with Zen making an appearance early in episode 3 (Cygnus Alpha). Vila and Gan are rescued from the prison planet at the end of episode 3. Cally joins the crew in episode 4 (Time Squad).

Cyngus Alpha. En Route to Cygnus Alpha the prison starship came across an abandoned alien spacecraft. Blake and his fellow convicts Jenna Staniss and Kerr Avon were sent aboard by the captain to see if there was anything worth salvaging.

They christened the ship "The Liberator".
