That's a shame! I think S2 gets a lot better. And then S3 gets a lot worse again.
I remember watching Blake's 7 at the same time as TOS, and I thought it was OLDER because the production valus were so low, rather than actually at least 12 years later. You're completely right about the women though--Doctor Who does establish its women as important characters much earlier and more thoroughly. I've always been amazed by how feminist Blake's 7 is too--clearly something British sci-fi does well.
