Next Phase Is This
So I just finished watching “End of Eternity” from Space: 1999, and honestly, this one hit different. Out of all the episodes so far, this one really stuck with me because it gets dark in a way the show hadn’t really gone before. Most of the time you’re watching these people deal with space anomalies…
This is easily one of the most brilliant, mind-bending hours of sci-fi television from the entire 1970s era. This episode perfectly captures the eerie, isolated atmosphere of Space: 1999 while delivering a classic sci-fi trope with a deeply unsettling twist. When the rogue Moon approaches the mysterious planet Piri, the Moonbase Alpha main computer begins…
Black Sun is easily one of the standout episodes of the first season because it completely moves away from basic sci-fi action and goes heavy on the psychological and philosophical weight. The whole plot relies on massive tension as Moonbase Alpha is pulled right into a massive black hole. Instead of the usual cheesy panic…
“Mission of the Darians” stands out as a heavy, unforgettable hour of 1970s sci-fi. The setup feels like a classic space adventure when Commander Koenig and the Moonbase Alpha crew respond to an SOS from a massive, 20-mile-long generation ship called the Daria. What makes this episode so gripping is how quickly it transitions from a…

This episode starts with a really heavy concept. Seeing the first baby born on Moonbase Alpha should be a joyful moment, but it turns into a nightmare when the kid, Jackie Crawford, grows into a five-year-old in a matter of minutes. The psychological horror in those first twenty minutes is genuinely top-tier for 1970s sci-fi….
“Voyager’s Return” is a heavy watch for an early episode, and it hits hard right from the jump. The plot centers on Earth’s old technology coming back to haunt Moonbase Alpha in the worst way possible. Voyager One, an unmanned probe launched back in 1985, crosses paths with the wandering moon. But it is definitely…
“Deep Cover” is easily one of the most gripping episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2, completely shifting the dynamic by taking the Dark Knight out of his cape and putting him behind bars. With Rupert Thorne missing and a chaotic, paranoid Eddie Nygma taking over the criminal underworld, Gotham is spiraling out of control….
This episode is easily one of the most memorable standouts of the first season because it completely nails that eerie, philosophical sci-fi vibe. The whole setup hits you immediately when Commander Koenig and the crew land on the frozen, unforgiving planet of Ultima Thule. Instead of finding a completely dead world, they stumble upon the…
“War Games” is hands down one of the most intense and memorable episodes from the entire first season of Space: 1999. This episode completely shatters the usual safety net of sci-fi television by showing a worst-case scenario where Moonbase Alpha is absolutely devastated. When a nearby planet launches an unprovoked, brutal attack using Earth-style Mark…
