Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Fans of Space: 1999 (and there are many of them) are lavish in their praise for British producer Gerry Anderson's mid-'70s sci-fi series. They rhapsodize about provocative, seriously scientific story lines, expensive production values, the presence of star (and future Oscar® winner) Martin Landau, and more. But there are others who look at the series' glacial pace, loopy costumes and makeup, cheesy sets, primitive special effects, stilted dialogue, and self-serious tone and wonder what planet those rabid fans are from.
This two-disc set includes the first six episodes of the show's second season. Episode 25, "Metamorph," introduces Maya (Catherine Schell), a shape-changer and scientific wiz who, after witnessing her nutty dad's dastardly deeds, defects to join our Moonbase Alpha heroes. "Journey to Where" (Episode 29) finds Koenig (Landau) and Helena (costar Barbara Bain) returning to Earth--specifically, and bizarrely, 14th-century Scotland--while "One Moment of Humanity" (Episode 27) sees the evil Zamara (Billie Whitelaw) and her android cronies trying to learn the violent ways of humans. Intriguing ideas, occasionally rather lame execution. In other words, there's plenty here to justify the points of view of the show's adherents and its detractors.
DVD bonus features include production stills, TV promotional spots, and interactive menus. All episodes have been digitally remastered, and some material that was not seen in the original U.S. broadcasts has been restored. --Sam Graham

I remember i couldn't wait for Saturday night to come along so i could watch my 2 favorite SCI FI shows UFO & SPACE 1999. The acting was nothing to write home about but the imagination, the idea that the moon could be blown out of its orbit, fly through space, the inhabitants would survive and meet other life forms with hopes of finding that perfect planet to settle down on is far fetched. However its still a classic in the classic form. Barbara & Martin make the show.

Space 1999, with all of its quirks, is still one of my all time favorite science fiction television series! It premiered in 1976, 30 years ago on a local station here in Arkansas, as the most expensive sci-fi series ever produced. As a 19 year old, I missed very few episodes from the first season (working night shifts, I missed some). Now, as a 49 year old, I have cried with joy as I watched the DVD episodes, some that I had never seen before! This is mind-candy for me!! Times were simpler then ... Read More

Space 1999 was a diverse series that had it all and then some. It was fun like Doctor Who, as abstract as the Prisoner, as explorational as Star Trek, as light as Lost In Space, as philosophical as 2001, as dark and claustophobic as the most entertaining horror movies and disaster films, as funny as Plan 9, and it even featured pre-Star Wars space battles that were truly a blast. On it's own merit it was also quite a unique series. It was never locked down into just one pattern so it never got sterile. ... Read More

I'm a junkie of Sci Fi, Horror and Fantasy and I'd never heard of this show when I came across it. When I read the tagline about it being an "adventure beyond space" I had to get it. I bought set 3 and set 5. The episodes in set 3 are not unlike Kubrick's 2001. Set 5 is more like Dr Who. I enjoyed them both. This is classic stuff. Landau is especially good. The Eagle space crafts are cool. Catherine Schell is lovely. There's a good mix of action and horror and space elements. Why haven't more people heard ... Read More

I've always thought that the start of both seasons of Space 1999 weren't as much fun as the episodes that came after them. Set 5 has some good episodes and some good moments, but sets 6,7, and 8 are much more fun. As the start of season two, this set has both it's share of draw-backs and it's fun moments.
I wont waste space reviewing every episode, but I will say that The Metamorph is one of my faves! Catherine Schell is introduced as Maya in this one. New theme music, cast members, costumes, and ... Read More
