I agree. SPACE: 1999 started off tremendously (funky 70’s uniforms or not). Some of those eps downright scared me when I was a little kid. Especially “Dragon’s Domain”.
The bulk of Season 2, though...ehhh.
Several stations refused to air it at the time.
Yeah, one of my earliest memories as a child was of that space monster burning up and spitting out crew members. Gave me nightmares!
