I can see I'm going to have to invest in the rest of the series. I reckon it was an influence on Firefly too -- bunch of rogues wandering round the universe, bickering and doing good.

There's even a bit of dialogue in one of the episodes -- "Nice shot!" "I was aiming for his head." -- which I doubt is a coincidence
I really like Blake's 7 and have seen all four series many times. It is the dialog and the character interactions that are good. I know that B7 influenced B5.
