space: 1999 -- season 2 episode 16 -- the beta cloud

Season 2, Episode 16: The Beta Cloud

This 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 mysterious cloud is hovering near Alpha. It tells them that it wants their life support system, and that it has sent a monster to get it.

My Thoughts
Remember a few episodes ago when I said that there are some decent serious episodes in season 2? Those seem like a distant memory now. Once again we have an exercise in stupidity that defies description. I do note that the headpiece on the monster looks suspiciously like the headpiece on the guardian sentry in "A Matter of Balance."

The only good thing I can see about this installment is that they had Maya turn into the same chlorine-breathing life-form that she did in "The AB Chrysalis." I appreciate the continuity.
