Happy Breakaway Day to all who observe it.
In fictional time: 25 years ago today -- on September 13, 1999 -- the Moon was blown out of Earth's orbit, flinging it and Moonbase Alpha into the vastness of space. Alpha's crew's adventures were detailed in two seasons of SPACE: 1999 (September 4, 1975 – November 12, 1977).
I loved that they used the sets and spaceships from the way much more exciting and sexy and just all around way better (LOL...)
UFO
@TheAbbotTrithemius Well, SPACE:1999 came out of a failed attempt to do a second season of UFO. So ...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@brainwise @TheAbbotTrithemius
WHOA -- I DID NOT KNOW THAT 😮 🤓
@TheAbbotTrithemius @InUnfunky In another timeline, we got a second season of UFO along with SPACE: 1999 as a true spinoff. But not this timeline.
😭
Dammit.
BUT...
Why hasn't UFO been redone? With the right creative direction and writing it could be phenomenal...
@TheAbbotTrithemius @InUnfunky Oh, it deserves a reboot. No doubt!
@InUnfunky
I KNOW, RIGHT????
WT HECK??
