One think I like particularly well with your book is the balanced view with respect to Y1 and Y2. Although it is difficult not to get the impression that Y1...
"The immunity syndrome" is cleary one of the better entries of Y2, I definitely agree. It was very nice reading the section dealing with the episode in...

One of the most famous lines in Star Trek is "Resistance is futile". But, who said it first? Maya! I just watched The Dorcons and had forgotten that both...
I think Doctor Who beat us to it in Tomb of the Cybermen, oddly enough a Patrick Troughton (The Doctor, Archon) story. Mateo ________________________________ ...
Hello, I agree that they were both good episodes. It makes me wonder whether they were last ditch efforts to pump up the quality in the hopes of getting a...
It would also have been good with the Y1 music. On Tue, 04 May 2010 21:10:59 -0000 "alphachimp43" <alphachimp43@...> writes: Hello, I agree that they...
I agree completely in what you are saying, Floyd. Â Robert's Destination Moonbase Alpha also made me think differently about Y2, and I agree that all the...
Hi all My sister and I played a game called little big planet at a friends house. It has all sorts of theme games in it that people have created. They all...
Yes, those are two of the defining moments of Y2. Isn't it in the Tim Heald book were Freiberger clearly expresses that he didn't want the Landaus as a part...
Y1 music, yes, but then I would also have included Barry Morse, the Y1 set, the Y1 characterization, the Y1 pace etc. It is one of those episodes that could...
Robert (et al.); I just received my copy of D:MbA, and it is really a thoroughly enjoyable book. I have found myself agreeing wholeheartedly, disagreeing...
Wonderful comments, I agree completely. The publication of Destination Moonbase Alpha is, in my opinion, one of the most significant events in Space 1999...
Thanks Pat, I appreciate hearing your comments, and am glad the book is giving you things to agree with as well as disagree with. What I love most about the...
Howdy Everyone,  I am also enjoying the book very much. I have always been bothered my something in Earthbound. Why do they leave the passenger module...
Earthbound is a great episode, but not as good as the first four episodes, of course. Space 1999 started with a bang, producing the four best episodes ever...
Is there anything to disagree on in the book? I thought it was perfectly balanced, even presenting less than perfect episodes like "Full Circle" and "The...
Okay, this isn't exactly Space: 1999 related, but since Metropolis is the granddaddy of all science fiction films, I would argue it is at least somewhat...
INdeed a very relevant piece of info! Certainly good news to sci-fi fans and officionados worldwide. Now if they could only find the missing footage form...

I always thought "Matter" and "Ring" were considered weak episodes. I certainly prefer "Earthbound" (and many other Year 1 episodes) over those two. To:...

Although "Earthbound" is a great episode, I interpret it as a consequence of management signals from ITC New York, wanting to "Americanize" the series, trying...
Yes, the NY Times article states that due to mishandling over the years, the Argentine print did have some unusable bits of footage, which necessitated the use...
That's hilarious. Years ago in this very group those episodes (especially Ring) were universally panned. Did they remaster the episodes and delete the crappy...
I think that Ring Around the Moon tied with Force of Life are the quintessential early Year One atmospheric episodes. They are soaking in it like rum cakes....
My last post should have been clearer. I was talking about ATMOSPHERE, not script-logic. Now I have no problem with Force of Life in the script department. I...
