|
|
I've seen various lists of how many times each Blake's 7 crew member killed someone and when comparing them to specific episodes I've found them to be quite generous. It seems like they count any punch, kick, karate chop, as a kill. I intend to go episode by episode and do my own count of crew member kills...or die trying . I'm only counting what I consider legitimate "kills".
First up:
The Way Back
Easy one. No kills, no attempts.
--------------------------------------------
Space Fall
During their escape attempt Blake fires at Raiker but misses.
Jenna closes the hatch killing Raiker but it's unintentional so I'm not counting it.
It's not seen but Zen kills 2 of the boarding party.

Cynus Alpha
With this episode I'm going on the assumption that even if they had doctors on Cygnus Alpha, without proper instruments, a deep wound would result in death.
Blake beams down to the planet and opens up a can of you know what. He obviously had some kind of combat training. He gets on the scoreboard with a good old neck snap and follows that by scattering Vargas' atoms to the solar winds.
Vila gets in the act by a traditional knife in the back, but hey, it still counts.
Well, unless that's a broom in Mr. Couldn't stop them. Implant hands, I'm assuming Gan stuck a spear in some poor bloke.
Blake 2 kills
Vila 1 kill
Gan 1 kill

Time Squad
Jenna gets on the scoreboard by doing a Ripley and getting 2 kills (get it? Ripley..aliens..the movie? )
Blake gets 1 kill to take the lead.
I'm not counting the people that may have died when the communication center exploded because there's no way of knowing and it would be a team effort anyway. One thing is certain, Blake's crusade to wade in blood up to his armpits has begun in earnest, should be up to his toes.

Seek Locate Destroy
This is a tricky one, I had to rewatch it several times before making a decision because two aspects are unclear. First, after Vila fails to stop the guard from sounding the alarm the guard suddenly falls to the ground. No sound of a shot being fired is heard and no punch is thrown so it's hard to tell what happened. I froze the frame where the guard is falling and examined it. Vila's finger is not on the trigger. Conclusion, no kill.
Second, when Blake fires at the trooper looking through the door it appears that the resulting blast, fire, and smoke is at least three feet from him yet he goes flying to the floor. Conclussion, low budget special effects and precaution of the stuntman's safety made the scene appear different than intended.

Project Avalon
Blake gets another neck snap (where the @#$% did he learn that ?).
Jenna shows why females are the deadliest of the species in a shootout with Federation troopers. I saw 3 kills but I counted 4 bodies so I'll assume 1 was killed off camera. 4 kills, that puts her in the lead.

Bounty
I'm going to take two things for granted in this episode:
1) That blow that Cali delivers broke the trooper's neck
2) The collar that explodes in the Amagon's face was powerful enough to kill him
Having said that, Cali gets her first kill and Blake gets another kill without using a conventional weapon.

Orac
A dilemma. No human kills but Blake bashes an overgrown reptile to what appears to be its death. Since I never set forth an outline I'm not sure if I should count it. If it's limited to humans then what about Vinny from Death-Watch? Should I include the Links from Terminal? For now I'll put it on the side with an asterisk.

Season 1 Notes:
Blake edges out Jenna due to a slight technicality.
Jenna had the most kills in one episode with 4.
Only 1 of Blake's kills came from a firearm. _________________ "Women, food, and inflicting pain -- in no particular order."

The episode Deliverance will be re-opened. I'm having second thoughts as to whether Jenna should be awarded a kill. All comments and suggestions welcome. _________________ "Women, food, and inflicting pain -- in no particular order."

Season 2
Redemption
Blake shows The System exactly why he's at the top of The Federation's most wanted list and teaches them an old earth proverb, Finders Keepers. He gets 3 kills, all with weapons.
Orac destroys a spaceship but spaceships don't count and he's not part of the crew.
Gan throws some people around while everyone watches.

Shadow
Turning point for Avon, he kills and enjoys it. I'm giving him credit for 2 kills, the first he shoots and the second he pushes off the hill. It's possible a person could survive a fall like that but I believe the writer's intent was that the person died.
Also, Cali destroys a spaceship but we're not counting spaceships.
Orac kills someone but it's not really Orac.

Blake resumes wading in blood, should be up to his knees by now. He gets 2 kills as he sticks his nose in a family feud and shows why you don't bring a axe to a plasma gunfight.
Blake takes a commanding lead with one episode left in season two. Will he hold onto his "Top Gun" title?

Season 3 starts and we've lost two regular members, Blake and Jenna, but we gain two new ones, Dayna and Tarrant.
Afternath
I'm going to presume that Dayna, being a weapons specialist, is capable of making a bow and arrow that can kill and a rifle that fires something that doesn't have to hit you to kill you. Dayna gets 2 with an arrow and 1 with the rifle (and I'm being lenient here).
Avon is still in his season 1 & 2 mode so he passes up an easy kill. That will change as the season progresses.
Episode Totals:
Dayna 3

________________________________
Powerplay
Tarrant is introduced and he's just as bloody as Dayna. I'm giving him credit for killing 3 troopers even though 1 he claims "from the wound on his head he was probably just unconscious", I find it hard to believe he would take that chance. 2 kills and possibly 3 were in the back.
Dayna gets a chance to strangle someone, from behind also.
