YMMV / Blake's 7 S4 E3: "Traitor"

Go To

  • Captain Obvious Reveal: The measures used to conceal the identity of Sleer only make it obvious to the audience that it must be an Arch-Nemesis Back from the Dead. Unless Travis had somehow survived his Cruel and Unusual Death in "Star One", who else could it be but Servalan?
  • Fridge Logic: Sleer being Servalan. Her picture must have been all over the propaganda newscasts when she ruled the Terran Federation or even when she only ran Space Command; in "Project Avalon", Blake recognises the Supreme Commander on sight, despite them never having met before.
  • Narm:
    • Practor's response to being shot is to cover his crotch.
    • What should be a vicious and bloody hand-to-hand struggle between Federation soldiers and unadapted Helots is actually the actors swotting unconvincingly at each other.
    • The drama of Servalan's return from the dead is hampered by her looking like a transvestite crow.
    • Avon and Soolin relaxing in deck chairs on the Scorpio bridge.
  • Uncanny Valley Makeup: Servalan looks like she's trying to conceal her true identity behind excessive makeup, while the General resembles a Thunderbirds puppet.
