         Arguably that's so, but on the other hand, they often encourage 
us to combat them, and show us ways that we might do so. Blake and his 
crew don't depend on space****ps, after all - they're also involved with 
things like computer hacking, communications disruption, and the raising 
of public awareness. In the original series they were often referred to 
as terrorists and had several debates as to the moral aspects of what 
they were doing, sometimes putting large numbers of lives at risk to 
achieve a larger political goal. I'd like to think that a new series 
would be willing to tread the same challenging ground - God knows we 
need to be having these discussions at the moment - but I rather doubt 
it.
