SPACE:1999 was one of those sci-shows that was very hit-and-miss. Good story ideas were sometimes wrecked by by bad scripts and/or bad acting. And bad story ideas, especially in the ill-fated second season of the show, too often got the greenlight when they should have been filed in the wastebasket.

Dragon's Domain, however, is an exception. It's one of the best episodes of the series. IMHO, it's one of the better sci-fi eps of all time. Garko, a veteran of the Spaghetti Western scene, was excellent in the role of Cellini, and the episode shines with a themes of obsession and revenge. It's also quite scary, even by today's standards. Several FReepers have told me that some of the affiliate stations refused to run the episode when it came out in 1974.

8.5/10

I watched the later episodes when they originally ran. For some reason, I missed the final episodes and never knew how the series ended. I think that was even before VCRs.

Didn’t know it was on Youtube, but found a link to the entire series (both seasons) and the Movie. Will tag them to watch.

that was a great series, and you’re right one of the Best episodes.

Wish Syfy channel would run them.

Invisible aliens or monsters/light monsters also sucked hard on these shows.

I saw Dragon's Domain as a kid and it scared the holy hell out of me.

It still gives me the chills.

What a nightmare. The alien vacuums you up and spits out your charred remains.
