Another run through of this great series. I always remember watching this on TV when originally aired and the episode 'Dragons Domain' which featured the alien on the spacecraft killing the crew of a mission by sucking them underneath and spitting out a corpse, was really a creep out.
Series One only for me. That's where my memories are and I did not like what happened with Series Two. |
Definitely with you on this one Dave.
I loved the first series of SPACE 1999 at the time and still love it now ( Network’s Blu Ray set looks stunning ).
I loved the whole sense of wonder and mystery in that first series, combined with some terrific aliens. They also ramped up the horror aspect in a number of episodes ( The Troubled Spirit, Dragon’s Domain, Force Of Life etc ) which was also part of its appeal to me.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when the second series aired. What was a magnificent, mysterious and unsettling series became a rubber monster of the week kiddies show, with Maya as a get out clause every week.
I agree it was a bit faster paced, but it was awful.
