I love Blakes 7 so much. That was my first fandom actually. You've probably heard the line "I am not stupid, I am not expendable, and I am not going." Right? That's a classic Avon line from B7.
The thing is - yes, the sets and special effects are cheap, the concepts and lines are silly, the actors are odd-looking and very seventies - although they grow on you - and the acting's been described as, well, Kabuki. But it's... ack! It's just awesome! I'm sorry! That's all I can say! The first episode you have to kind of wade through (although I think it has Jenna & Vila's first appearances, which are good) but once they get onto the prison ship it's all good times.
And did I mention Avon is blatantly, desperately in love with Blake? Who he also kind of hates? And Blake's feelings are up for interpretation, but he seems to have no real interest in women? And you want personal space invasion and inappropriate eye contact, oh, we've got personal space invasion and inappropriate eye contact. And... *controls self*
