Life is there to… remember Blake’s 7
When I was a young boy I already loved science fiction a lot. It must have been somewhere around 1979 that I watched the first season of the science fiction series “Blake’s 7”. The series is set in a future age of interstellar travel and follows the exploits of a group of renegades and convicted…

I am happy that in some ways Marion and I like the same kind of movies. Sure, science fiction and fantasy movies are not on…
