5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Blu-Ray purchase! But don't view it in production order! Makes a Difference.
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2012

*** This has been updated and the recommended viewing order list changed. Take a look***

So I just received today the SPACE 1999 Blu-Ray Season One Set!

Does it live up to expectations? A few episodes in and I have to say... HOLY HECK does it ever!

And you really should spring for the Blu-Ray! And this comes from someone who is still not a Blu-Ray convert. I prefer the DVD form-factor, it's more aesthetically pleasing to me than the cheap dinky Blu-ray Boxes. And often there is a negligible difference in quality, particularly when the source has issues, or the studio just cuts corners.

In short, all things being equal, I'm not paying more for Blu-ray. However in the cases where there is a substantive improvement in quality, and great special features, and the price is competitive with DVD pricing... well then I'll pull the trigger.

Case in point SPACE 1999: SEASON ONE on Blu-ray. Wow! I saw this show when it originally aired, it never looked anywhere close to this good. It's staggeringly good looking and packed with commentaries and extras. It's going to be in the running for one of the best DVDs of the year.

But others can sing the praise of the show and the Blu-ray, I wanted to comment in regards to viewing order.

The order these episodes are on the Blu-ray set (and DVD) is production order, which is completely how they came out. However, it doesn't work.

I'll say again... viewing it as laid out, doesn't work.

I hit episode two, and I was like.... "what the eff, did I miss something?!". Because even though these shows are supposed to be more or less standalone, some scripts/stories juxtapose badly with other episodes, in the order they are on the disk.

I did a bit of searching, and watching, and studying other lists, and have finally come up with this, I think, rock-solid viewing order list. It stays pretty close to the production order except in cases where those changes substantially help to clarify the story or character development.

So without further ado, the viewing order that the show works best in.

I call this the HT Space 1999 recommended Episode Viewing Order List (or HT Space 1999 REVOL for short :)):

1. Breakaway
2. Earthbound
3. Black Sun
4. Missing Link
5. Voyager's Return
The first five follow the Kearley Episode list. Without doubt that gives a great opening to the series.
6. Ring around the Moon
7. Matter of Life and Death
Six and Seven is where I break with the Kearley List. This forms a loose 2 parter. With the possession of the Doctor in RING perhaps following her subconsciously into MATTER and perhaps helps address some of the inexplicable events that happen there.

8. Guardian of Piri
9. Force of Life
10. Alpha Child
11. The Last Sunset
12. Collision Course
13. Death's other Dominion
14. The Full Circle
15. End of Eternity

These eight episodes GUARDIAN to THE END OF ETERNITY (with the exception of moving one episode earlier in the season for story development reasons) follow production order, as I saw no substantial reason to move them around. And having watched them both ways they work best this way, adhering closer to production order.

16. The Last Enemy
17. War Games

I swap the order of THE LAST ENEMY and WAR GAMES, because in WAR GAMES it kinda heals the damage done to them in THE LAST ENEMY, and helps them get out of the habit of... preemptive strikes and finding enemies wherever they look.

18. Another Time, Another Place- Agreeing with Kearley's desire to have this closer to the end of the first season, I thought this was the ideal place for this episode. The largely space based and battle heavy WAR GAMES being a nice lead in for the far more metaphysical ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE. And I think after the loss in ANOTHER TIME, the opening of TROUBLED SPIRIT is a great way to cleanse the palette and show a healing moment for the crew of Alpha after several shattering episodes.

19. The Troubled Spirit
20. Space Brain
21. The Infernal Machine
22. Mission of the Darians
23. Dragon's Domain
24. The Testament of Arkadia

And the final six episodes follow production order exactly and are a strong powerful wrap up for the first, best, and some would say ONLY true season of SPACE 1999.

Well this has been a lot of fun, a little work, putting this HT Space 1999 Recommended Episode Order Viewing List (REVOL) together. Hope it will be of help and use to some of you. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Space 1999 Like You've Never Seen It Before!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2010

One of the fond memories of my childhood is that of me sneaking around and trying to watch Space 1999 late on Sunday nights. This was after the original run of the series on prime time, and it had gone into syndication. My mother did not allow me to stay up that late on a school night to watch the show, so I had to conceive of MANY creative ways in which to thwart my mother's attempts to keep me from watching this show. While she was able to catch me many times and send me back to bed, there were enough instances where I did get to see enough episodes to fall in love with the series.

Previously, I have owned some DVD copies of the series, but was always a little let down and how underwhelming the series was when compared to modern shows. The colors were always washed out, and the sound was very tinny, as it was never meant to be played with a surround system. If you're a fan of the show, and you currently own any of the previous DVD versions of this series, you will want to toss them after seeing 1999 on Blu-ray. I was not prepared for the crisp colorful images that began to flow across my screen after playing the pilot episode. The picture is truly stunning, and I would say that it even rivals that of the remastering of the Star Trek Original Series. On the old DVD's the interior of Moonbase Alpha always seemed so bland and monochromatic. While there are still a lot of creams and whites around, you will now notice splashes of color all over the place in computer displays and flashing instrument panels.

In addition to a major improvement in picture quality, the sound remix is AMAZING!!!!! Of course this series was released long before people began to hook their TV's up to surround systems, so on the original DVD's the sound was much as I remembered hearing it on a small black and white TV in our living room. When the first explosion occurred in the pilot episode, I was very surprised to hear a deep bass coming from my subwoofer. Of course these sound effects have either been tweaked, or completely re-recorded for this hi-def release. If you prefer the original mono soundtracks, never fear, there is an option for that. While the original sound effects are really closer to my memories, the new surround effects really add to the enjoyment of this series.

OK, now for my biggest surprise. While I did love this series as a child, watching it on DVD was a little of a let down, because the special effects seemed very dated. I expected that any restoration in hi-def would only amplify what I remembered as cheesy effects. I was SHOCKED to see that the extra clear image provided by blu-ray really does 1999 a favor by showing the details of the models used for the special effects shots. This show was not an offshoot of Star Wars as some may think. 1999 came out a couple of years before Star Wars was released. While you may see an occasional wire attached to a character to help simulate the reduced gravity on the moon, the ability to see the details in the models is what really got me excited. High definition actually makes these models look more life-like. That was an unexpected treat with this new restoration.

Now we come to the star on the top of this wonderful package. In addition to some special features spread out over the 5 blu-ray discs in the set, there are also two DVD's chocked full of extra features. Many of these features are released here for the first time in the US. There are audio commentaries, text commentaries, making-of featurettes, interviews, still photos, etc.

Bottom Line: If you enjoy good science fiction, and can overlook some conflicts with scientific reality, then take a step back in time and see what good TV was like 35 years ago. This set brings back so many good memories for me about my childhood. I remember all of the elaborate tricks I tried to play just to be able to see this show, and it brings a smile to my face now that I can pop in a disc anytime and watch this wonderful show in a way that is far better than anything I ever expected. Just in case I start to feel really nostalgic, I can switch on the mono sound track and sit up really close to the TV so my mother won't hear. I swear that woman had bionic hearing!!! Oh yeah!!!!! Just one more plus to this new set......Instead of taking up several inches of shelf space for the DVD's, you now get the entire first season in a nice shiny package that takes up less than one inch of shelf space.

Esta serie la vi allá por el año 1977/1978 en blanco y negro y con doblaje sudamericano, que ahora echo de menos. Pero hay que tener en cuenta que la serie sólo está disponible en versión original, con subtítulos, en inglés. No hay nada en español, por lo tanto el que quiera disfrutarla deberá verla, oírla, y en su caso, leerla en inglés.

So while re-watching Gerry Andersons UFO again, I thought this is so good maybe I should give S1999 a go. I always prefer late 60s TV so have never really dived in. It seemed cheaper to get both series in one box but this box seemed to have a lot of extras.
It did not disappoint. There are some really wacky stories in it - not often well explained plots but visual treats and curios concepts. The moon moving around is funny but tolerable as it really just opens up this weeks story.
The effects are pretty good, esp the ships and model work. I am really enjoying it (although sometimes Barbara Bains whispering voice seems a bit much) - and I have been warned about series two being soooo different...but at least series 1 is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Un must per gli amanti del genere
Reviewed in Italy on March 6, 2016

La qualità delle immagini (in rigoroso formato 4:3) è davvero sorprendente per l'epoca delle riprese. Il cofanetto è ben curato, contiene 7 dischi blueray da rimuovere con attenzione dai fermi, soprattutto l'ultimo, per evitare rotture. La lingua è solamente quella inglese, ma per me che cercavo questa edizione è comprensibilissima e intelligibile (l'audio è molto buono, nel caso sono presenti i sottotitoli). Gradevole anche la possibilità di gustarsi gli accenti originali degli attori nell'audio restaurato.
Contenuti extra abbastanza ricchi. Una nota tecnica: ho aggiornato il firmware del mio lettore blueray (uno dei primi Samsung) per caricare le tracce video, essendo compresse con codec abbastanza recenti e non presenti nel mio vecchio software. Dopo l'aggiornamento, nessun problema di riproduzione.

Amazon, comme d'habitude, est irréprochable professionnellement (en oubliant l'aspect exilé fiscal...), car le colis a comme toujours été reçu très rapidement et en parfait état.
Le blu-ray est encore un cran au dessus des DVD, et je parle des DVD anglais, car on peut écarter définitivement les DVD Tf1, à moins que l'on veuille aussi retrouver l'image grisatre, sombre, voir opaque des années 70. Ici, c'est bien la pellicule originale qui a servi de master, alors, chapeau bas messieurs les anglais. Bon, le 4/3 est imposé, mais si vous avez la possibilité de zoomer, vous retrouverez vos marques du DVD, en mieux. Vous pourrez ainsi voir les projecteurs dans le reflets des casques des cosmonautes!
N'hésitez pas à l'acheter, même si vous ne maîtrisez pas la langue d'outre manche. Pas de VF, mais c'est tant mieux, les traductions étaient trop approximatives et même erronées ! (les aigles deviennent des "angles" (épisode4) et le moral est traduit par la "morale" (épisode 5), etc...ça ne veut parfois rien dire). De toute façon, les acteurs n'ont pas l'accent de liverpool, et vous pouvez mettre les sous titres en anglais, les mots étant à la portée d'un collégien.
Les bonus sont très nombreux, beaucoup plus riches que la version DVD, et dévoilent les trucages du tournage. Très instructif et fort réaliste quand on songe qu'à l'instar des premiers star wars, les accessoiristes étaient des artisans imaginatifs qui manipulaient des maquettes hyper pointues et jouaient d'effets pyrotechniques sans jamais avoir à s'asseoir derrière un ordinateur. A noter aussi que le menu est nouveau, et la possibilité d'écouter uniquement la musique!
