Liu Cixin got at least five stories out of Gerry Anderson productions ... but all very well done (imho (allegedly)).

#3Body #TheWanderingEarth #UFOGerryAnderson #Space1999 #CaptainScarletAndTheMysterons #ThatMirrorOtherSideOfTheSunFilmWhateverItWasCalled #Joe90

OMGs! Starting up some #Retrocon #SciFi analysis of #UFO and #Space1999! Yes! They were the same Timeline! Why else was Moonbase Alpha armed with weaponized Eagles (Hawks)! However, who decided it was a good idea to store NUCLEAR WASTE ON THE MOON! (Sounds very #Trumpian / #ElonMusk, am I right?)

@Phangurl @spacemagick For those who haven't kept up with #Ufo or #Space1999, Anderson Entertainment officially retconed then into the same timeline.

Why was a science base on the moon so heavily armed? The Straker Doctrine.

@spacemagick okay I had to find it because you piqued my curiosity. It's so MOD!!! I love the love and feel of the pilot episode. The cars, the clothes, even the pacing, exciting from the get go. Wowza!
I'll watch #Space1999 as well but #UFO is "shagadelic, Baby."

Geez, now I kind of want to figure out the rest of the story and write a draft of it.

Which I'll get to right after I write that draft of my #Space1999 reboot TV-movie.

@Phangurl
It was a rather limp and tedious follow up to the eminently superior U.F.O. which I strongly recommend you watch first.

The #Space1999 models were magnificent. The Season 1 sets were cool. Young Lucas felt like Moonbase Alpha could be real.

They put so much love into the sets and props, they forgot to hire scriptwriters. That's why I preferred Trek, even though it felt much less real.

I still have a "Space 1999 by way of Stephen Baxter" book on my project list, if I live long enough.
