Yet another attempt to reboot Blake 7 is underway

Lexx was fun ..

If they reboot B7 this time can the heroes win I want the Federation dead, people's heads on pikes, dead dammit

That's not Blakes 7 though ;)

Although that'd be a great way to subvert the original B7, which I think you'd have to do with the franchise.

And there are ways for the heroes to win, without winning. Actually a realistic ending could be that the rebels win, in so far as they destroy the Federation, but there's no unified free galaxy in the aftermath, instead there's chaos. Which in effect was what you had in the aftermath of the galactic war in Series C. I mean much as I do actually like Series D (mostly) The ending of Series C might be the best the rebels could hope for. The Federation has been decimated, and with Servalan dead I could see the remains of the Federation fragmenting. Liberator is destroyed and whilst our heroes are alive, they're potentially marooned on a dangerous planet. On the one hand it doesn't have the downer ending of Series D, but conversely it isn't the end of Return of the Jedi either ;)

I like this
 
Can't take any credit, it's how the show was originally meant to end :D
Oh OK

Mind you the depressing ending with what happens to Blake feels very British

Quite frankly, there are times where it seems like the ending to Series B was was the original ending.

Blake and Avon acknowledge they're friends and trust each other after everything, the Federation may or may not be destroyed, the the Liberator crew have no choice but to work WITH the Federation against an Alien Invasion they may not defeat.....

...."FIRE!"

Series A was the only one I ever watched in full, saw random bits and pieces of the rest when it was on TV but that's about it. Not really a show I want to buy in full

While it may not have become as iconic as the ending we got, it would certainly have aged well, when you consider how, in recent years. we have seen dictatorships overthrown and the countries then fall into anarchy and civil war.
