space:1999

To add to the experience have you ever had someone dress in a laughable gorilla costume and throw plastic coconuts at you while you're watching it?

That would just make me want to beat the s**t out of someone- mostly the f**kin' guy in the gorilla suit.

Watching my way thru season one,  the show had a lot of poor eps. One was just Zardoz redone a bit.  Another was a take off on the trek episode "this side of paradise." One was just a generic monster in space EP.  Some were  dumb,  like the one where people going thru a mist devolved into cavemen,  along with their clothes becoming animal skins.

It did make me think how much better that EP could have been with a simple rewrite though.  The alphans discover a perfect planet for them to settle,  but find very primitive humans on it at a caveman level.  If they settle they will totally disrupt their evolution and change their futures irrevocably.  There is a desire to settle but the idea of eventually imposing their ways on an early culture is something to consider.  Eventually koenig puts it to a vote and the alphans narrowly decide to leave the primitives to their own development as humanity may have been at one time.

Man I wish I could go back in time and get to rewrite that series.  A lot of eps would be changed...
