Customer Reviews of Space 1999, Set 2
Great fun with human puppets!! Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, responsible for Thunderbirds, turned their attention of using the same principals of their puppet-shows, but use live actors instead of the puppets, and the result was UFO. Okay the series has some flaws, but die-hard fans loved it. Their next entry was Space 1999. Again, maybe not high brow, and some special effects were low brow..lol, but it was still great fun.
This is the second set of episodes of the Earthlings trapped on the moon now travelling through space due to an accident. With the Oscar winning Martin Landau and this then wife, Barbara Bain, heading the cast they were well acted and rather nifty tales.
This set has Missing Link, where Landau is captured on planet Zenno, where humans appear to the be missing link; The Guardian of Piri, another planet where the Alphans try to land, but run into the Guardian, and once you gaze into its lights you are lost. Force of Life, (starring the wonderful Ian McShane) as a technician that is invaded by a heat-seeking life form; Alpha Child - the first child is born on Alpha Moonbase, but soon the joy turns to fear as the child shows strange powers; The Last Sunset - Suddenly the Moon has atmosphere...but how did this happen?; Voyager's Return. A space probe launched from Earth to acquire information comes back to moonbase with terrible repercussions.
So pop a bunch of popcorn and have a fun evening!
1999 Forever
The costumes, the special effects, the models, the music, and the actors all brought together to form a unique series that touched many a fan. The episodes of Space:1999 were thought provoking, and yes not every little thing was explained, but the series made you THINK!...instead of having every episode resolved, ala Trek, some of the episodes like "Black Sun" left you wondering "how did they survive that?" But that was the beauty of 1999, it was a show all it's own, and it stood up for itself. I was thrilled beyond belief when I heard they were releasing the entire series on DVD, unlike the last chance I had to watch the show on SciFi whom butchered the episodes to squeeze in more commercial time, releasing 1999 on DVD is a dream come true for all fans of the show. Watching the episodes on DVD brought back so many memories of getting a good seat in the living room just before the next episode was shown on TV. 1999 touched me like no other show has or probably ever will. I am surprised though that with today's computer technology in sfx used in movies....that no one has ever made a REAL Space:1999 movie. Wouldn't it be great to have a two hour movie based on the very first episode of "Breakaway"?
Space: 1999 at its best
In this set are some of the most complex and chilling episodes of the series. One of my favorites is the "Force of Life" episode, because it is so heavy on concept and doesn't rely on the gratuitous actions sequences that would come to be the norm in the second season. "Guardian of Piri" asks and answers the age old question, wherein lies the ideal life? "Missing Link" features an excellent performance by Peter Cushing and examines the extremes of human nature-can these extremes be bridged somehow? The second disc contains more action oriented episodes. "Alpha Child" concerns and outside menace brought onto Moonbase Alpha. "The Last Sunset" transforms the moon into a breathable planet. "Voyager's Return" is a fable about the hubris that often goes with the quest for knowledge, and the consequences that must be paid when you allow that quest to become unstoppable. These are all very solid episodes from a series that should've been so much greater than it ended up being.
