Angel One seemed to be a recycling of Roddenberry’s equally bad plot for his second unsuccessful attempt at a ‘Dylan Hunt wakes up post Armageddon’ television series that was sold as a made-for-tv movie “Planet Earth” with John Saxon in the lead Dylan Hunt role for that one. Diana Muldaur played the ‘Confederacy Domimatrix’.
Here’s the promo:
The time: the 22nd century. The place: the Confederacy, a matriarchy where men are enslaved and impotent. The hero: Dylan Hunt (John Saxon), a handsome, vigorous 20th-century scientist awakened from suspended animation -- just the "breeder" a Confederacy dominatrix (Diana Muldaur) has been waiting for! In this sequel to Genesis II, Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek) puts a reverse spin on women's lib in an action-filled tale set in a gleaming world of futuristic cities, underground sub shuttles, palm-sized computers and skintight uniforms. Can Hunt defy the Confederacy and free his downtrodden fellow males, or is he doomed to slavery on Planet Earth?
