Space 1999 had better FX unlike STAR TREK but they were both made in different country's and so on. The person who killed STAR TREK was Freddie Frieberger who took over on year three which stank and Gerry Anderson made the mistake bringing him in on year two of Space 1999.
Year two was controlled by America, Gerry Anderson said he was asked why there is no monsters in the show? GA would then get scrips rewritten and get the monster into the show, result weeks latter he was asked why you got monsters in the show? GA would state you said monster were the in thing in the States and they would say are yes they were but monsters are now out.
One thing about year two which I was not a fan of was Maya's molecular transformation act, I always felt if she had E.S.P and a few other things in that area it would have been a lot better.
Did you know that the planning of Space 1999 was actually to be the second series of UFO which would see the war with the aliens escalate but it was not to be.
