I had such a crush on Martin Landau. God, what was wrong with me?

I've never managed to get over my crush on Nick Tate!

Re: Space: 1999 season 2 announced -dated

you Space: 1999 fans will be interested to learn that Lionsgate has just listed Season Two for Blu-ray release on 5/7 on Amazon. We do believe this is the real deal. A&E’s distribution recently switched from New Video to Lionsgate here in the States, so it’s quite possible that Lionsgate made the title a propriety. We’ve got inquiries into all the right people at Lionsgate, A&E and Network in the U.K., so as soon as we have more official details we’ll let you know. But last we’d heard it was planned for sometime “late in 2013” so a May release is certainly plausible. More as it comes in.

I wonder i the development of the remake is also moving foreard with a pilot in the next 14 months?

BRAINS! BRAINS!

I've never seen it. Is it worth taking a look at? And is it worth taking a look at on Blu-Ray?

I think the first season definitely is. The second season (if they release it later), not so much.

Agree.

But then, the writers took in in a weird direction, with interdimensional travel, and it got harder to suspend disbelief.

It was unavoidable. Even before the series' debut, the comparisons to all things TOS was so bad, the producers probably felt it turning up the sci-fi. "Trekian" elements were a must in order to compete with a Trek that was growing in popularity at the time.

As far as the Blu-Ray goes, it is a must-have.

At least you crushed on Nick Tate! He was younger, fitter, and had a great accent. I crushed on Rollin Hand.

Of course, he looked...well-used...in that TNG episode, so many years later. Nick Tate, that is.

Finally, we’ve confirmed with all parties involved that the listing on Amazon for Space: 1999 – Season Two on Blu-ray is actually for DVD – the very same disc released by A&E and New Video previously, just re-issued by Lionsgate. Network in the U.K. tells me they are well along in developing plans for the Blu-ray release of Season Two, but don’t expect it before mid-2014.
