Space: 1999
In 1999, Moonbase Alpha, nestled in the Lunar crater Plato, is a scientific research colony and watchdog over silos of atomic waste from Earth stored on the Moon's far side. On September 13, 1999, magnetic energy builds to cause an explosive chain-reaction of the waste, blasting the Moon out of Earth's orbit and off the plane of the ecliptic, out of the Solar System. The inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha are unable to return to Earth and must survive on their wandering Moon as it is displaced further into unknown space by freak space warps. Along the way, they are joined by an alien woman with the ability to change herself into any living creature at will.

The Metamorph
60 mins
An Eagle is sent onto the surface of the planet Psychon, which has titanium needed for repairs to the Alpha Base. It fails to return and is used by Psychon scientist Mentor as bait with which to entice other members of the Alphan crew onto the planet. Mentor is building a biological computer that will hopefully transform his deteriorating planet back into the Eden it once was. However, the machine can only be fueled by the living brains of humans, and Mentor has his eye on those of the Alphan crew. Fortunately, Mentor is not alone on the planet; his innocent daughter, the shape-shifting Maya, is unaware of her father's plans, so Koenig tries to convince her to side with the Alphans.
