I had a lot of work to catch up on this week, so I confess I simply dumped the entire contents of my email box into 'delete' for the past week. While chopping away at the end-of-month work backlog, however, a notion kept returning that I thought would make grist for discussion here.
I'm genuinely curious to know if BLAKES 7 would have been done very differently, if it appeared on the BBC now, rather than in the 70's. I suppose the answers to this question would be relevant if the show is ever revived, however many years later in the B7 timeline, but still--would it have been cast similarly? Would the demographic of the crew be the same? Anyone have any notions on the idea?

One thing that might change (though I doubt it would have a great deal of impact) could be the stated reason (or commonly assumed reason, not sure which) for the enclosing domes. Instead of the seventies' "nuclear/atomic problem", it could switch to the "environmental problems": destruction of the ozone layer, etc.
Though from what others have said, I don't think TN would have taken that line. Still, one can wonder.
