Very good episode. Other reviews explain why.
It's bittersweet for me knowing that this was the very last episode of the series. I love this show, even when it was it is at its worst. It's easy to bash S1999, especially through the lens of what we've gotten since it went off the air. There's been a lot of great space based science fiction including "Star Wars", "Battlestar Gallactica" TOS and reimagined, many iterations of "Star Trek", and . . . Well, you get the idea.
But S1999 rose from the primordial ooze which was 1970s programming. It's amazing it even aired at all let alone for 2 seasons. Maybe it will come back one day. Perhaps some eager beaver will reimagine a scenario where the moon, along with its inhabited base, is blasted from its earth orbit. Perhaps there will be a "Space 2099". I'll hold out hope. I'll also hope if it does get made that the Alphans will be the ones kicking butt.
