This is an interesting question, because it touches on something I've been noticing recently: there seem to be an awful lot of very B7ish shows out there these days. Consider...
_Blake's 7...
_Andromeda...
_Farscape...
_Lexx...
But it all leaves me to wonder... Can this possibly be coincidence? Is B7 being consciously imitated? Can we consider all these shows to be direct descendents of B7 in some way or another? Was B7 just ahead of its time? Or what?
I think B7 was ahead of its time.
I love Farscape too, maybe for the same reasons (never thought about it before) - great characters, humour, plots, conflict. And they have really inventive aliens - no 'facial bump of the week' like is Star Trek. Lexx I didn't fancy and never watched.
However, I have a question: What is Andromeda? Up till now I never heard of it; it sounds interesting. No one-eyed maniacs in it, are there? :-)
