Hello, Harry. Thanks for the summary. I recall seeing your posts in the S99 Net Forum before it sadly shut down. Thanks for the list!

I loved the one where they went to war with the Hawk ships.

Also the encounter with a generation ship was pretty good.

Mission of the Darians Quote:
Unfortunately the problem with a remake would be the problem I had as a kid, the physics, I could never square that. The size of a nuclear explosion large enough to wrench the moon out of orbit always seemed implausible, and they would have to be traveling at light speed, and if they were how come they passed planets slowly enough to visit them?
Gee I was a nerdy kid.

Yep, suspension of disbelief was pretty much a given in watching this show. (But, can't we say the same for many of our favorites?) Quite a few fanfiction stories have attempted to provide explanations; some of the creativity and writing is quite good.
THE site for all things
Space 1999 would have to be Martin Wiley's Catacombs. I can't link as my post count is too low, but if you have not yet come across this wonderful resource just google 'Space 1999 Catacombs'. It's the first hit.
I think many of us who love this old show would fall under the category or 'nerdy kids'. I certainly was, still am, and proud of it!
