Space Catitude 🚀With "All that Glisters" we are back to a familiar #Space1999 theme:
We find a glowy rock.
It is haunted.

The amount of model work in this series is amazing. And it seems like the writing does pick up a little in the 2nd season (I'm just on the 2nd episode, though).
JdeBPHeh! The other side of the Atlantic from #TheLexx and #Farscape. (-:
Since this started out as an evening for @bytebro I rather had in the back of my mind the assumption that xe already knew about #StarCops, #Space1999, #TheTripods, #TheTomorrowPeople (Thames version), #TheTriffids (BBC version), and #Blakes7.
And #Torchwood is just across the … erm … tip of my tongue … named after something … Gulf Of Wales from Brizzle.
I'm not sure whether an evening of #TheSarahJaneAdventures would be @bytebro's cup of tea, though. But if it is, I'd then add #LightningPoint/ #AlienSurfGirls to the list.
Well, well. Episode 25 has all new titles, that I don't remember at all. I guess I have started Season 2.
I think they've upgraded their model photography a bit, too.
Oh look! Brian Blessed is back.
Joan Collins appeared on this as well as Star Trek. Took me awhile to recognize her, but her voice and line delivery are distinctive.

#Space1999 "Space Brain"
As a rule of thumb, it bodes ill when the word "brain" appears in an SF series title. 🤨
Ooh... foamy bubble effects incoming.
Ged Maheux@mark They do look like they belong right at home on Moonbase Alpha which, of course, is a big geeky plus. #Space1999
One thing I'm noticing in #Space1999 is a degree of batching of plots and effects: they get a theme and then do two or three episodes based on it together. And once they figure out a way to do certain shots, they reuse it.
The understanding of physics continues to be hilariously bad: "not even wrong" (because it doesn't make enough sense to rise to the level of mere wrongness).
Their effects and stunts have improved by episode 15 or so. I get the impression that a lot of the plots are just excuses to set these up.
