Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Hmm, I don't remember any of the episodes -- just the ads and that it seemed like the ship was huge and empty.

Well, the main set was a moon base, so it was living quarters, etc. The premise was that an accident on the base involving nuclear waste storage (which was one of the main things the base was designed for) had knocked the moon out of orbit and travelling into deep space.

Was beady eyebrows or a cheek thing? I can't remember, and, of course, now I must go find pictures.

God, I remember that show fondly, and thought she was the coolest thing ever.

Maya, played by Catherine Schell. Why yes, I watched the show as a kid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maya.

Fastest linker in the West, you are. And also right. I was conflating the eyebrows and the cheek swoop. She was mighty cool.

If I only had a brain...

I loved SPACE:1999 so much. I wanted to be Maya.

Oooh, my brother had a huge toy Eagle, and a watergun shaped like the stun guns, and a Space: 1999 boardgame. The last of which, at least, is probably still in my mom's basement.

I don't actually remember much of the show, but we wouldn't have gotten lots of crappy merchandise for just any old thing.

Well, okay, we would have. And probably did. Shut up.

I used to own a model of the moonbase.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did Space 1999 have an episode where a guy was marooned on the moon with an enemy alien, and they had to work together to get to safety, and then when they did, the other people were mean to the alien, even though the marooned guy told them not to?

Or was that an episode of UFO ?
