4.0 out of 5 stars
very entertaining 70's tv,
By A Customer
This review is from: Space 1999, Set 7 (DVD)
What a great show this was and is. Set 7 includes Bringers Of Wonder in which really gross and goopy aliens take over the base by appearing to be the loved ones of the people on the base, but Koenig can see them for the slimy creatures they really are. Landau gives a wonderful performance of reacting to their true disgusting forms. This is not serious science fiction, but Landau is excellent, and the other cast members give it their best too. The goopy monsters are amusing and also pretty darn disgusting and creepy. The glops of slime oozing down the eyes of the aliens is a great touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars
hugely underrated series, brilliant stuff!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Space 1999, Set 7 (DVD)
Gerry Anderson's two seasons of Space:1999, and the prequel series UFO, seem to me to be three separate eras in one long story, rather like the eras of three different Dr.Whos, or perhaps different spin offs of Star Trek.If that's the case, UFO is the equivalent of the Tom Baker era or the original Star Trek, it's the one that gets all the respect. Season 1 of 1999 is like the Davison era or perhaps Next Generation of Trek. Season Two of Space:1999 is like the Colin Baker era of Who, or Deep Space Nine in Trek. Yes, it is the one no one wants to admit they like, but if given closer examination with an open mind, it actually has much to offer and much to enjoy. This little lot contains some superb contributions by great writers. Terrance Feely (UFO, The Prisoner) delivers the goods in the excellent Bringers of Wonder, while Pip and Jane Baker (Dr.Who) write the low key but good A Matter of Balance. And then there's the superb Seed of Destruction, a compelling doppelganger story with an evil Koenig taking his place on Alpha. Space Warp, on the other hand, is written by Fred Freiberger and unlike the fun Beta Cloud, it sucks. Not to worry, though, the rest of the series is so much fun and so well produced that it is still totally entertaining and enjoyable. These characters are not as dark as the ones from the previous seasons, but they are fun and likeable enough to care about and enjoy their adventures. An underrated gem of a series!

The Beta Cloud ,what a great episode!,
This review is from: Space 1999, Set 7 (DVD)
My favorate episode then and now. Maya saves the day . After Alpha is threatened by a huge monster bent on stealing the life support , its up to Maya to stop it. This is such a fun episode, particularly the chase scenes. Seed of Destruction and Space Warp are fun too. The Bringers of Wonder can finaly be seen after all these years. We can forget about that horrible patched together movie version. I almost bought the Columbia House videos , but when I heard that they were coming out on dvd, i waited for over a year. The wait was worth it. Not only is the quality better than videos, you get all the bonuses videos lack. Set 7 has a huge gallery of behind the scenes photos and artwork. Its fun, fun, fun to watch the behind the scenes trailer. I hear there is an effort to revive this classic show... Lets have a season 3...
