With the recent releases on Blu-ray both shows have provided alternative takes on the special effects.

Carinthia West is one of those rare figures who has managed to live several creative lives at once — actress, model, photographer, writer and confidante to some of the biggest names of the 1970s and 80s. Blake’s 7 fans will know her as Tyce, the determined, confident minder of President Sarkoff in “Bounty,” who ends up being his daughter. But her story stretches far beyond that single credit. Over the years she’s captured candid, behind‑the‑scenes moments of rock legends, actors, and cultural icons, and today she continues to share that extraordinary archive through acclaimed photo exhibitions around the world.
