Wow, I got my tapes from the post office today -they're great! Nice quality,
and in stereo, too. Most of these episodes (all but six) I haven't seen
since they first aired. It's like going back in time and soaking it all in
again, but from a 35-year-old's perspective.
As I work through the tapes to see my favorite episodes first, I can really
compare the two seasons: the haunting music and excellent screenplays of year
one, and the "guilty pleasure" aspects of year two, what with it's disco-like
score, silly monsters and freeze-frame endings (kinda like "Hart to Hart",
eh?). I love both series, but really miss Victor and Kano in Y2. Maya and
Tony are a plus, though.
Thanks again for such great tapes and speedy delivery! - Sue

While I'm sure the Alphans were screened to some extent, no one could
foresee that the moon was going to be flung out of orbit and the community
would be a closed one. The screening probably wasn't totally vigourous,
since if they screwed up all they had to do was send the unadjusted person
back to earth.

Wow. Hard question. The problem is that the show spanned almost 3 decades
and so many different actors/styles that it is really several different
series all tied together by recurring theme. My favorite style was that of
Tom Baker, Doctor No. 4, but he was also the first one I ever saw. My
personal favorites are Pyramids of Mars (loved the mummy) and The City of
Death (written by Douglas Adams, guest star Catherine Schell with a cameo
by John Cleese...what more could you ask?).
Now onto a BOW aside. As I was thinking about Alphans going off and getting
themselves killed (like Sanderson in Seance Spectre) that brought to my
mind the reunion scene in BOW. How come there weren't people there looking
for Paul Morrow, Kano, Victor, Sanderson, etc? How did they explain that no
one came for the Alphans killed on the journey so far...quite a respectable
number. I can't see how they could know who was killed.

The 70's were generally full of "fluff" television. Shows like
"Charlie's Angels", "Love Boat" "Fantasy Island", "The Six Million
Dollar Man", "The Bionic Woman" and "Wonder Woman" filled the air
waves.

Agreed. I think that if it was on the air now Year 1 would do well,
whereas Year 2 would be relegated to Saturday mornings or Nickalodeon.
I think that's part of the reason that many of the fans that
originally watched the show and were Year 2 fans are now Year 1 fans.

I was 12 1/2 when 1999 came on. Allen's right, there was a lot of
no-brainer shows on in the 70's (Happy Days and the Fonz for crying out
loud!). I think this is because the country didn't want a lot of
"realistic" entertainment. The country had just come through two
traumatic experiences (the Vietnam War and Watergage) back to back and
the public just wanted escape. The TV industry responded with mental
cotton-candy.
I think this is one of the reasons year 1 got hit so hard. I've recently
had a chance to see 4 episodes uncut for the first time in 20 years and I
think all those complaints about "wooden acting" and "cold" characters
are off by a light-year. I think the show was just so different in its
concept and look that 1975 audiences weren't prepared for it. I think it
would be a big hit now (esprecially when I see what is passing for TV SF
these days). On the other hand, there might be problems because,
compared with the MTV-hyperdrive pace of television now, 1999 would drag.
Let's face it 1999 was a thinking man's (or woman's) show. I think the
way the show got on the air then was a problem as well. Back then the
networks had a lot more power and could push affiliates around. Now lots
of new shows are sold directly into syndication.

Subject: Space1999: Dragon's Domain Quick Question
Why did Victor Bergman choose the name "Ultra?" This doesn't conform to
the practice of naming planets after figures from Roman mythology. Any
ideas on a more suitable name? I nominate "Cerberus".
Also, Helena states that Ultra was discovered at the "then-known" limits
of Earth's solar system. In "Another Time, Another Place", Paul states
that "all 11 planets check out." So apparently another planet was
discovered after 1994 and before 1999. Any candidates for this one's
name? I nominate "Styx".
To bring this back to the real world, do any of our Alphan list members
know if astronomers have pretty much given up on looking for any other
planets in our solar system? For a long time there was a theory that
Pluto was an escaped satellite of Neptune because of its weird orbit but
this theory took a slap in the snout with the discovery of Pluto's
satellite, Charon. I just wondered if astronomers were still looking for
"Planet X."

Subject: Space1999: Testament of Arkadia - Significance
I just got a chance to see an uncut version of "The Testament of Arkadia"
for the first time in 20 years and I was completely blown away! It was
like seeing it for the very first time! The very first time I saw this
episode I thought it was so-so (it sort of sailed over the 13 year old
mind). This time around it left images that have really stayed with me.
The first time I saw the scene in the cave where Luke and Anna have a
spiritual experience with the Arkadians, all I could think about was the
hokey robes and the "groovy'" music. This time I noticed the way they
both reverentially dropped to their knees and acknowledged the Arkadians
presence. As if they were getting instructions from the Arkadians that
they had been selected.
The first time I saw this show 20 years ago it kind of had the vague odor
of a "Chariots of the Gods"-idea rip-off. But now it really exemplifies
that existential, trancendental feeling of Year 1. Koenig's final line
summed up Year 1 for me: "For us, for all of mankind, there is a
purpose."
Does anyone know the classical music played at the beginning and ending
of this episode? Is it original music for the series? That little spot
where Koenig puts his pen down on his command log with the voice over
narration and the music is just perfect.
Oh well. Enough rambling.

Greatings Alpa
Coming out of lurk mode to report on Martin Landau's newest movie:
I believe the title was "Baps", but I'm not positive. Here is the plot from
what I could get from the trailer.
Two home girls (complete with big hair and gold teeth) from the East
coast travel to Hollywood to seek their fortunes in music videos. Somehow
they find their way to a mansion owned by a rich, sickly old man (Landau)
whom thay befriend and breathe new life in the old boy.
In one scene, Landau announces "good morning to all" and then asks
his butler if he has gotten him the new ICE-T cd yet (obviously this is a
comedy). In another scene, the girls' heads set off a metal detector.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has seen this yet. It certainly
seems to be something different for Martin.
Back to lurk mode, Dean

Hi David, hi all,
Yes, that scene is surely the one that makes me shivers the most of the
entire series. Everytime I watch The Testament of Arkadia I play that
scene three or four times in a row at least! Strangely, that "groovy"
music was the first piece of music that I've ever recorded on a tape
when I was young when we got our first "stereo" tape recorder a couple
of years before SPACE started. It was a different instrumentation but
was the same music. I kept the tape for years and one day when I came
to listen to it I realised that my father had recorded over it with his
@%#$@# country music! I hate country music!....sorry :)

The music played during Koenig's narration is called "APPASSIONATA" and
was composed by SERGE LANCEN and the music played during Luke and
Anna's spiritual experience with the ARKADIANS is called "PICTURE OF
AUTUMN" and was composed by AREL DUTUR. These pieces and many other non
BARRY GRAY pieces during Year 1 were published by CHAPPELL RECORDED
MUSIC LIBRARY. APPASSIONATA is included on the CHAPPELL LIBRARY album
"THE CLASSICAL COLLECTION No 4"(CHAP 156) but all the other tracks have
now, unfortunately, been deleted from the CHAPPEL LIBRARY. I've tried
to find these but without success. If any of you out there have them
please let me know.
So that's all for now
Take Care,
Catherine

<< Coming out of lurk mode to report on Martin Landau's newest movie:
I believe the title was "Baps", but I'm not positive.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has seen this yet. It certainly
seems to be something different for Martin. >>
Yes, it's called "BAPS" (for Black American Princesses) and is a comedy - I
don't believe the movie will be released until the end of the month. Perhaps
someone else has more definite information on this. In any event, I will
check with Terry Bowers (President of the Martin Landau Aficianados) to see
if she knows what the official release date is.

Greetings!
Lynn worote thus...
>I was going through some British tapes tonight and came across the

>Horses"(it stars the actor from the Frost mytsteries on a&e)
Yes. That's David Jason, a comic actor who's gone to straight roles
with considerable success.
>Anyway to my surprise Tony Anholt (Tony from space 1999) was in the

Tony Anholt is still seen on British tv now and then. He was in
"Howard's Way" (A sailing drama series) a few years back, and I recall
seeing him in a few other things as well. Looks to have aged well, from
memory.
Later,
