>S99 had a very definite vibe and biblical narative element to it. Koneig always refers to some greater power looking out for the inhabitants of moonbase alpha and there are storylines very suggestive of Adam and Eve, mythological monsters, phantom ghosts that haunt the person before they have died, a man who is immortal and incarcerated in a chamber with pictures detailing the evil he has perpetrated on his own race within a rock... the list goes on. There was some great stories in the first season, though most of the science and sciences / technologies were wrong and todays audiences would laugh / not accept it as they are just far too savy. So yes they will have to come up with an airtight synopsis.

Stevan,
Thanks for sharing your insight into the episodes for me.  It has been a VERY long time since I saw the show.  I did like the character of Koenig, although I found Landau's acting a bit too stiff for my taste.  I do remember finding some of their plotlines intriguing at the time.  Maybe I should have another go at the series just to see what I think of it as an adult.  I'm just not sure I could sit through the bad science.  That's been what has stopped me in the past.  How do you get past it?
Yours,
Denise
