The #Space1999 models were magnificent. The Season 1 sets were cool. Young Lucas felt like Moonbase Alpha could be real.
They put so much love into the sets and props, they forgot to hire scriptwriters. That's why I preferred Trek, even though it felt much less real.
I still have a "Space 1999 by way of Stephen Baxter" book on my project list, if I live long enough.

@mwl The theme music for season 1 is outstanding!

@mwl Young me found a craft book at the library. It had instructions for making a moon base out of shoe boxes and cardboard tubes covered in tinfoil. Getting my own box of tinfoil was a thing. My Eagles were made of Lego. Trying to create launch bay elevators was another thing.

Hmmm. Take a bunch of screenshots from the pilot episode and put them into a slideshow that showcases the aesthetic while broadly outlining the plot, then give it as a writing prompt to a (good) writer who's never seen the show.

@mwl my abs hurt a little out of laughing, but I hadn't had that for a while, so...

Was it Asimov who made the remark that it was marked down from "2001" ?
