Customer Reviews of Space 1999, Set 7
The Best Set Of Season Two, But That Isn't Saying Much Set 7 of Space: 1999 is probably the best set of the second season, but that isn't saying much. These episodes have all the cheesiness of a fast food meal at McDonalds, which makes me think that the season two credits should have read "Space: 1999 -- A Fred FRIEDBURGER Production.
Set 7 opens with the episode "Seed Of Destruction" (1 Star) -- Commander Koenig and Alan land on an asteroid with a cave containing a funhouse hall of mirrors. A mirror image of commander Koenig emerges and tries to destroy Moonbase Alpha. The way that those on Alpha can tell the imposter from the real Koenig is that his hair is parted the wrong way.
"The Beta Cloud" (1 Star) -- Maya and Tony are chased by a monster all over Moonbase Alpha, and fire a laser gun at a yellow cloud in space.
"A Matter Of Balance" (1 Star) -- Why is it that there are so many episodes of Space: 1999 where one group of desperate aliens are trying to assimilate the crew of Moonbase Alpha that have nothing? The premise of this episode is really not all that different from the first season episode titled "Alpha Child", which was much better.
"Space Warp" (2 Stars) -- This episode probably has the most expensive and detailed special effects in the entire second season. With Moonbase Alpha being sucked into a space warp, or a wormhole as they call it in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Tony and Commander Koenig are left stranded near an abandoned spaceship. Maya becomes deliriously ill and goes on a rampage as several different monsters, including an incarnation of her dead father. Maya attempts to take off in an Eagle spaceship but crashes it into the other Eagles in the hanger on the moonbase. Tony and Commander Koenig make it back, and the predictable and stupid comic relief ends this episode.
"Bringers Of Wonder Parts 1 and 2" (2 Stars) -- The only two part story of this two season show. I wonder why they named the first episode "Bringers Of Wonder Part 1", when they knew that they wanted this first part to end as a cliffhanger -- ST: TNG never did this with their 2 part episodes. The best way to end a two part cliffhanger episode is to not let the audience know that there is second part by announcing the first episode as part 1. I also wonder how 603 days passed between episodes 1 and 2. Listen to Dr. Russell's opening narration of both episodes, and you'll see what I mean. The people of Moonbase Alpha think that a Superswift spacecraft from Earth has come to rescue them, but it is actually monsters that look like Chicken Chow Mein, who want their nuclear waste. Although this episode seems to be loaded with character development and backstory, it is too little too late. After 6 more episodes, this show was cancelled.
The Beta Cloud ,what a great episode!
My favorate episode then and now. Maya saves the day . After Alpha is threatened by a huge monster bent on stealing the life support , its up to Maya to stop it. This is such a fun episode, particularly the chase scenes. Seed of Destruction and Space Warp are fun too. The Bringers of Wonder can finaly be seen after all these years. We can forget about that horrible patched together movie version. I almost bought the Columbia House videos , but when I heard that they were coming out on dvd, i waited for over a year. The wait was worth it. Not only is the quality better than videos, you get all the bonuses videos lack. Set 7 has a huge gallery of behind the scenes photos and artwork. Its fun, fun, fun to watch the behind the scenes trailer. I hear there is an effort to revive this classic show... Lets have a season 3...
very entertaining 70's tv
What a great show this was and is. Set 7 includes Bringers Of Wonder in which really gross and goopy aliens take over the base by appearing to be the loved ones of the people on the base, but Koenig can see them for the slimy creatures they really are. Landau gives a wonderful performance of reacting to their true disgusting forms. This is not serious science fiction, but Landau is excellent, and the other cast members give it their best too. The goopy monsters are amusing and also pretty darn disgusting and creepy. The glops of slime oozing down the eyes of the aliens is a great touch.
