It doesn't get much worse than this.

Space:1999 was the show for me.I liked the Maya character but I wish they continued the style that season one had.Too bad this show lasted at least ten seasons and pushed the envelop in special effects and story telling.

Another Eagle bites the dust

Funny how they have lights in every part of the ceiling, and most of the walls, but still need lamps at their stations.

If computer ever runs out of cash register receipts they are screwed...

Given in every other episode the senior members carry laser guns.....ummmm shoot him.

-
LOVE this episode, one of my favorites.
-
Dont they realise with out the gravitational effects of the moon earths screwed!!!
-
Definitely the dullest episode of an otherwise very well conceived and executed series.
Lackluster special effects, poor script, unconvincing performances, no real plot. -
ok. in several episodes the moon is stopped dead in space. so how did it start moving again and at a velocity high enough to reach other solar systems?
-
Not one of the best written episodes, but this was a great series!
-
If my DVD has the episodes in the correct order this is the first time they encounter aliens. Their reactions to discovering that we aren't alone in the universe are rather underwhelming
-
How I liked this serie when I was a child. It was one of my favorites.

74 not 75

The whispering voice, abducted lady floating in darkness, coming back under enemy control, low budget FX...reminds me of Sapphire and Steel a bit in this episode! I like it!
