Anyone who thinks Boucher is God needs to see Star Cops. Which part of the world are you living in? Leela had something of Blake about her - she had an innate sense of justice and fair play and was always willing to stick up for the underdog, even at risk to herself. But if the only way to do that was to stick a knife in a bad guy, she would. The Doctor didn't entirely succeed in stopping her.

Mind you, the series that made me completely unsurprised by the ending of "Blake" (B7 was on hiatus and they showed this series in the same timeslot, before season 4 started showing over here)... was "The Omega Factor". I think Chris Boucher was script editor or something on it as well. And it was a constant case of the good guy never having enough evidence that there was this evil conspiracy going on... he just suspected that They were responsible... (until the last episode, when... but I won't spoil it).
So, somehow, seeing all that, my reaction to the end of "Blake" was "typical Boucher".
Of course, at that time, everyone around me was declaring that Boucher was a Federation agent... I have been persuaded otherwise in the meantime.
