Try the following link or search for Space: 1999 - Live Action Streaming now❗️
It may be possible the previous link (I edited it) points at the specific episode running. |

I rewatched S1's "War Games", which is one of my fave episodes, but even it illustrates some of the problems I've always had with the show and what I previously called out as the incurious nature of the Alphans. For instance, the show opens with them spotting three Mark IX Hawks heading towards them, and immediately identifying them as warships. Well, fine, but they're clearly EARTH warships and cousins to the Eagles, yet no one asks "What are Earth ships doing out here?" The aliens use the Alphans' own fears against them, and since the "bomber" is the battleship model seen in "Alpha Child" the image of it must have been lifted from memories of that incident, and yet no one asks "why are Hawks escorting an alien ship?" _________________ * * *

Maurice, I agree completely with your dislike for that kind of bad writing. One of the worst things a science fiction story can do is to make allegedly intelligent characters act illogically.
The moment a viewer (or reader) of a sci-fi tale suddenly thinks, "Wait a minute . . . why the hell did he do that?" it means the writer has lost their credibility. _________________ ____________
