The second season of Blake's 7 - Series B - was broadcast in 1979 from January through to April. It consisted of 13 episodes.
Overview[]
The season premiere, Redemption, resolved the previous season finale's cliffhanger, in which the Liberator was apparently destroyed. This is revealed to be part of a prediction made by the supercomputer Orac, who officially joins the crew. The events that followed answered the mystery of who created the Liberator, which had remained a mystery since the ship's introduction in Space Fall.
Series B is a season in two parts, before and after Pressure Point. Pressure Point seemingly culminates in Blake's desire to bring down Control; the control centre for the Federation. The episode ends with the death of Olag Gan. The following episodes begin Blake's drive to find Star One, the actual control centre of the Federation. Series B ends with its destruction - but it is not at Blake's hand.
The fallout from Pressure Point continues into the following episode, Trial, which sees Travis dismissed from Space Command and becoming a Federation fugitive, continuing to hunt Blake and the Liberator for personal reasons. His relationship with Servalan became increasingly fraught, with them alternately allies or enemies, culminating in him allying with the Andromedans against the Federation.
Series B is the last season to properly feature Blake until the series finale, however a version of him appears in Series C's Terminal. This season's finale also features the final on-screen appearance of Jenna. This season's cliffhanger depicts the Liberator about to engage an Andromedan invasion fleet, but the fight is not seen until Aftermath.
Series B is the final season to feature Travis.
