Ever wonder what happened to the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, once we stopped receiving transmissions of their adventures?
Well, back in 1999, regular series writer Johnny Byrne and cast member Zienia Merton (Sandra), managed to get this final message out to reassure fans that the Alphans... well, watch it for yourself.
too bad the video has been removed
ReplyDeleteYeah, well. Can't do anything about that. This post is 10 months old, after all.
ReplyDeleteI've replaced the video. We'll see how long this one lasts.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSimply touching. I believe it was Zienia Merton, and not only Sandra Benes who was crying. I think no other TV series had such a nice epilogue 20 years later. It reflects the love of fans that are still waiting for the Season 2 to come, instead of the doppelganger produced. Only Maya and the Bringers of Wonder could be saved.
ReplyDeleteIn this time of lack of imagination, I sometimes wish a good remake of Space:1999 was planned. Sometimes I am afraid of it...
Simply a wonderful, WONDERFUL gesture by the 1999 creative team.
ReplyDeleteSeen this a couple dozen times and never tire of it. 1999 Year 1 will remain my favorite series ever, never insulting, never cheating the viewer, never talking down to the audience, inspiring a sober, scientific, at times metaphysical look at the universe with still-awesome effects, sets, actors, stories, etc.
It was perfect.
Wow !
ReplyDeleteAnd it was great to see Zienia Merton again. I had such a crush on her from seeing her in THE CHAIRMAN and SPACE 1999.
