Remember Space 1999?

[The Squire of Gothos]

The movies were MST3K'ed, which would be nice to see.

I grew up on the show; and I had a toy Eagle...lol

I remember actress Sybil Danning did some intro to the show for VHS some years ago; it was sort of out of place because she comes off all sci-fi/fantasy sexy dressed in boots, gloves, hot pants, top...and holding a big laser rifle...

Too, the show was edited into only two(?) videos, IIRC. The first two episodes were edited into one 'movie'...and two other episodes edited into another 'movie.'

There were several "movies", "Destination Moonbase Alpha" and "Cosmic Princess" comes to mind, can't think of the others.

Four of those compilation movies were made:

"Alien Attack" joins together Breakaway and War Games with some additional material to try and link them together - unsuccessfully in my opinion, but the two episodes are pretty much intact within the movie.

"Journey through the Black Sun" joins Collision Course and Black Sun, possibly the two best episodes of the series - the join is very bad, and the two episodes have loads of crucial scenes hacked out, and additional music badly dubbed over them in places - also one important line of dialogue moved from Collision Course to be a voiceover in Black Sun, to try and give the impression that the alien entities in the two episodes might be the same. The real upshot of this is that the two best episodes didn't get a proper video release for years because they were tied up in this monstrosity...

"Cosmic Princess" was a combination of The Metamorph and Space Warp.

"Destination Moonbase Alpha" probably works the best as it's a compilation of the two part story The Bringers of Wonder, so at least the two halves of the movie are meant to be joined together.

Interesting...

I would like to see that myself...

The Black Sun is my favourite episode.

Now there is someone with superb taste. "Black Sun" is worth it for the Morse/Landau "toast" scene alone...

The model shots in this show were fantastic.

Wow, I knew that the leads on this were Juliet Landau's parents but even without that you'd see the resemblance between her and mom from the opening credits!

"Black Sun" is my favorite episode of year one; the scene with Koenig and Bergman is well-written and well-acted.
