I watched Blake’s Seven as it was shown in bits and pieces on PBS<span class='snote' title='1'>In the USA, PBS is sponsored by government grants and private donations, with no commercials. It’s where all the “arty” stuff ends up. And also BBC shows.<\/span> in the 80’s. The show seemed to be heavy on continuity, so watching the episodes at random was a terrible way to experience the show. All I remember is that there weren’t seven characters and none of them were named Blake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>56:00 We stop Josh from trolling us with more cooking advice by doing another email.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My favorite part of open world games is their emergent nature.
