Blake's 7: Dawn of the Gods

Critics of series three tend to claim that the show lost its direction after Blake left - that rather than being a show about political rebels, it became a show about people wandering around the galaxy having random adventures. Thing is though, that's what it was before Blake left as well. It wasn't until the Star One arc that they actually had a goal that they followed. Before that they might have intended to be political rebels, but they went about it by wandering around the galaxy having random adventures. So the only change is the loss of an ultimate goal that only ever mattered to one of them anyway. Which is the roundabout way of saying that this episode is something of a random adventure.
