Season 2, Episode 13: Catacombs of the MoonThis blog comes with the generalized warning that any post may contain spoilers. That is especially true of these Space: 1999 posts. So if you haven't seen this episode, intend to watch it, and therefore don't want spoilers, then don't read.
Plot Synopsis
A woman lies near death awaiting an artificial heart that Dr. Russel is struggling to build. Meanwhile her increasingly-delusional husband is predicting that the moon will soon be burnt to a crisp, and insisting that only he can save his wife.
My Thoughts
This episode is kind of a weird muddle of two plots that really shouldn't have anything to do with each other, but which seem to have been uneasily stitched together. Of course I have no evidence so this is just speculation, but I think they had two ideas for episodes but didn't have enough material for either, so they created this Frankenstein's episode.
It combines all the worst elements of S99 (except for the wooden sterility of season 1), into a boring, boring watch.
