Rating: - Mystery and combat
Volume 4 of the "Blake's 7" videos contains two more episodes of this classic British sci-fi TV series. In "Mission to Destiny," the B7 crew encounters a murder mystery onboard a spaceship from the planet Destiny. In "Duel," Blake and his rival, Federation Space Commander Travis, are forced to engage in personal combat on an alien world.
Together, these episodes offer interesting insights into the characters and politics of the B7 universe. The mystery angle of "Mission" gives us a chance ... Read More
Rating:  - "I don't like an unsolved mystery."
Although a brilliant show, Blake's 7 is also a very derivative one, taking inspiration and ideas from a collection of genres, both inside and outside of science fiction. This tape consists of two such stories; one of them is realised quite successfully, the other not so. "Mission to Destiny" is the show's obligatory whodunnit (all TV shows of this type seem to have one).

Rating: - "Mission" good plot; "Duel" good character devlopment
Mission to Destiny is is a good ol' British Mystery in space. Interesting how the different film stocks used, at times give the ship a different atmosphere.
Duel is very reminiscent of an episode of Star Trek; but here is much more insight into the emotion inherent behind action. Watch for the interplay between the guardian/gatekeeper, and how Travis' motivation afects the outcome.
Rating:  - "Mission"-interesting murder mystery;"Duel"-bizarre showdown
Destiny is an interesting murder mystery with twists and turns throughout. Duel is a showdown between Blake and Travis in a bizarre setting. Reveals much about the personality of Travis and tells us about the lowly existence of the mutoids. Both stories are interesting and worth watching. END
