Earth’s Moon floating in the sky of an alien planet, the shapes as familiar and as remote as those of one’s own face in a mirror.
It’s the most beautiful sf image I can remember seeing on tv as a kid. It justifies everything about this show. Yes, everything, even the outfits that make most of the guys look paunchy, and that one episode which terrified the living crap out of me when I was about eight, the one with the wiggly alien thing that ate people and left their corpses all smouldering and covered with cobweb stuff.
Also, the theme song is a total funky freakout.
I only watched the pilot on the DVD I rented, so I don’t know if the image of the Moon in the sky actually looked any good; I don’t think it could live up to my expectations.
