"Yes, that is why all of the endless bleakness is okay! Because the characters endure and go on fighting, and others will go on fighting after them, and it isn't a celebration of bleakness: it is a celebration of the lives which continue on despite it."
Aw. So true. And I think sums up also what I was trying to say about whole sections of 1970s TV being like this - life is bleak, but it goes on, and so do we, and that's the thing. In B7 you fight for freedom and hope even though you don't particularly want to and you're not even sure what the words mean any more... (In the other stuff, you hang on to your nice hot fake tea and try to survive.)

I'm very jealous that you've got Kill the Dead! Though I am proud to be the one who introduced you to the show that not only gave you itself and all that that entails, but Kaldor City and Kill The Dead as well.
