Disappointing, 16 August 2004
5/10
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute , Scotland

AFTERMATH is the final edited BBC video release from BLAKES 7 comprising three episodes , all of which are from series 3

Aftermath : The Terran Federation battle an alien invasion fleet from Andromeda . The crew of the Liberator evacuate the ship

Powerplay : Avon teleports back to the Liberator only to find it`s been taken over by a Federation death squad

Sarcophagus : Avon and Vila bring back a trinket from a derelict spacecraft which leads to great danger for the crew

AFTERMATH starts with an inter-galatic war between humanity and the Andromedans . Unfortunately most of the background to this is set up in Star One the episode that ended season two of the show and more or less Blakes involvement in the saga who is only referred to in a throwaway line . The video starts with a space battle and unless you`re a fan you won`t have any idea what is happening plot wise . Aftermath and Powerplay concentrate on setting up two new characters Dayna and Tarrant rather than telling good stories , but at least they feel like they`ve been structured as one continuing story unlike Sarcophagus by Tanith Lee which is one of the best episodes of the series , full of great dialogue and character interaction but has very little in common with the first two Terry Nation episodes . I also have to admit I was never all that keen on series 3 anyway and preferred it when Blake was the main character with Avon as the complex anti hero . From here on Avon was the programme`s main figure

After this video release the BBC decided to release all 52 episodes of the show on video which was much appreciated
