Space 1999<\/a> was one of the few sci-fi shows you could see on TV in the 80’s. As a fan of Star Trek, Twilight Zone, and some original Battlestar Galactica I was surprised to catch this one randomly playing on reruns one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One episode in particular terrified me when I was a kid. I must have been about 10-12 when I saw it. It was the episode titled Dragon’s Domain<\/a>. It contained a tentacled creature with a single, gigantic glowing eye. It devoured people by sliding them underneath itself and then spit out a gnarled and blacked corpse! I remember the glowing eye and the character hacking at it with a hatchet. That one stuck with me for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the rest of the series was too slow\/uninteresting for my pre-teen self. Not to mention the fact even I could see the wires ala Dr Who of the era. But hey – it is probably the one episode that really stuck with me so that’s saying something…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
