Space 1999, Set 8 Reviews
Confessions of a Year 2 Snob
This set shows why we love and prefer space 1999 season 2 to season 1. These are the best episodes equal with Star Trek the Next Generation and The X-files.
The Immunity Syndrome, The Lambda Factor and Dorzak stand heads and dandruff above year 1.
The Lambda Factor features ghosts, esp and "murder most foul". Martin Landau gives a performance that is very unnerving as he is confronted with a dark and terrifying secrete from his past,while a dangerouse psychopath takes over Alpha. The whole episode is creepy and unsettling.
The Seance Spectre features a Psychological exploration into matters of blind faith over reason. Maya turns into a tree in this episode! This alone makes this set worth buying, plus you get to see what she looks like as a little girl.
My personal favorate is Dorzak. Another Psychon arrives on Alpha while being transported to a penal colony.The conflict that arises is breathtaking in its scope and its execution. Dorzak is the most remarkable villian to EVER visit Alpha with the exception of Balor from season 1. Even at the end of this episode there is some doubt concerning Dorzak's actions on the alien world and wether he really is a villian.
The Immunity Syndrome is a visit to themes from season 1, the quest for a home. A planet that seems earthlike turns out to be hostile, very hostile. Great sets, acting and philosophy make this another great episode. The shot of the alien corpse side by side with its holographic image is a remarkable feat of visual film making style.
The Borg-I mean Dorcons, is another episode that puts Maya in the terrible position of being a burden to Alpha. Her presence threatens everyone on Alpha. The powerful Dorcons demand Maya or else!Resistance is futile! This episode is also note worthy because the Dorcon leader is played by Doctor Who!
The interviews are a blast from the past, and the special effects short is cool. The only thing missing is episode 49 Message From Alpha. Write A and E about this.
Long Live Moonbase Alpha!
Resistance is Futile!
Befor the Borg there was the Dorcons. The last 6 episodes of Space 1999 are the best. This show is so trend-setting, from Star Wars to The Next Generation most current science fiction has something from Space 1999. The Lambda Factor is about a jealouse girl who develops ESP and tries to take over while she makes a monkey out of Maya.Dorzak is about an evil Psychon being transported to a penal colony while Maya demands to see him. The Immunity Syndrome is about the exploration of a planet that might support life, but an alien presence has other ideas.I always remember the creepy sets for the underground room. The Dorcons is another Maya episode. Aliens demand Maya or they will destroy Alpha. How ironic that the first and last episode of Space 1999 are about Maya.There are interviews on this set and a couple of commercials.
