Blake's 7/YMMV


 * All There Is to Know About The Crying Game: Most people only know about the series due to the fact that all of the main heroes die in the finale.
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: A series of Big Finish audio dramas starring the original main cast have been commissioned for 2012-13. They aren't full dramas as they are partly narrated, but we can still hope -- and the reviews have been very encouraging.
 * BLAM Episode: Gambit.
 * Camp - A fair amount, intentional and not.
 * Complete Monster - Servalan, Travis, and more.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome - Star One. An extragalactic invasion fleet is on its way into the Galaxy and the only defence the Federation has is at least 15 minutes away. Avon moves the Liberator into the firing line and is told, "This is crazy"; he sneers back, "When has that ever stopped us?" the music mounts and then "FIRE!" straight into the end theme music.
 * To quote Martin Odoni, you know you've watched too much Blake's 7 when "you dismiss the works of Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Brahms as amateurish because they don't have as many major chords as forty seconds of Dudley Simpson".
 * Mr. Fanservice: Tarrant, quite consciously if you believe Word of God. Avon also has a lot of fans.
 * Evil Is Sexy - Servalan.
 * Fan Unfavorite - Del Tarrant in the third and fourth seasons.
 * Ho Yay Shipping - Generations of fans have read subtext into Blake and Avon.
 * Large Ham - Many, especially by the end. Well-acted, but not understated.
 * "Is it true? Have you betrayed us? Have. You. Betrayed. ME?" (Shatner would be proud)
 * Magnificent Bastard: Blake to an extent (being able to rope the reluctant into his scehme to destroy the Federation), Avon in spades...but anything they were able to do, Servalan did it better and in stiletto heels. The fact she  pretty much cements it.
 * Moral Event Horizon - Avon, in one of the last episodes, "Orbit".
 * Seinfeld Is Unfunny - The "fugitives running from a corrupt empire" premise has long since been harvested to death to the point where it'd be a unique subversion now to show things the other way around.
 * Shipping
 * Special Effects Failure - With the same budget as a police procedural, what d'you expect?
 * Also, the "futuristic" bases the Seven visit tend to look a lot like 20th century British oil refineries or nuclear power plants.
 * The final season had generally respectable effects for the time, thanks to advances in technology. The only real failure came from the very obvious matte lines in spaceship shots.
 * Tsundere: Fanon would have you believe that Avon is a male version.
 * The Woobie - In her entire run on the show, Cally never caught a break.  doesn't count.
 * Vila. Horrible things happen to all the characters, but Vila's a Woobie because of his general nice-guy attitude and the fact that, really, none of this is his fault.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Avon.
