_DESCRIPTION_:
Space 1999 S01 E09-E16 1080p BluRay x265-skorpion
Reason for this release:
I've created this release because the only 1080p releases I could find were 80Gb for season 1 and 90Gb for season 2. Not everyone has unlimited bandwidth or hard drive space !
The releases I did find are encoded with x264 video and DTS 5.1 audio making each episode over 3Gb. Some episodes were missing, some were duplicates, and some had audio from a different episode. I have ripped mine from BluRay and encoded with x265 video and AAC 5.1 audio to reduce the filesize without reducing quality. Both seasons are being released in 3 parts of 8 episodes each to make the torrent files smaller and more manageable.
The BluRay has the episodes in "production order", I have numbered them in the order they were aired in UK, which is the same as the order on IMDb and TVDB
Synopsis
Space: 1999 centres on the plight of the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific research centre on the Moon. Humanity had been storing its nuclear waste in vast disposal sites on the far side of the Moon, but when an unknown form of magnetic radiation is detected, the accumulated waste reaches critical mass and causes a massive thermonuclear explosion on 13 September 1999. The force of the blast propels the Moon like an enormous booster rocket, hurling it out of Earth orbit and into deep space at colossal speed, thus stranding the 311 personnel stationed on Alpha. The runaway Moon, in effect, becomes the "spacecraft" on which the protagonists travel, searching for a new home. Not long after leaving Earth's Solar System, the wandering Moon passes through a black hole and later through a couple of "space warps" which push it even further out into the universe. During their interstellar journey, the Alphans encounter an array of alien civilizations, dystopian societies, and mind-bending phenomena previously unseen by humanity.
Ep9 Mission of the Darians
The Alphans encounter a miles-long ark from the planet Daria, where the inhabitants have a very distinctive class separation.
Ep10 Black Sun
The moon is approaching a black hole. Professor Bergman is a able to rig up an energy shield around the moonbase, but Commander Koenig feels this is only a desperate measure and has an eagle with six personnel dispatched as the rest of the moonbase await certain death.
Ep11 Guardian of Piri
Contact is made with the planet Piri, where the main computer created an idyllic life that led to extinction of its population through apathy. Now John Koenig must fight to save Alpha as his people fall under the same fate.
Ep12 End of Eternity
While exploring a cavern in an asteroid, the Alphans release Balor, a sadistic alien who has achieved immortality.
Ep13 Matter of Life and Death
Dr. Russell's presumed-dead husband mysteriously reappears on a reconnaissance mission to a nearby planet.
Ep14 Earthbound
A vessel of alien pacifists, bound for Earth, lands on the moon. They are greeted as friends by all- except Commissioner Simmons who sees their vessel as way to return home.
Ep15 The Full Circle
While exploring an Earth-type world several Alphans, including Commander Koenig and Dr. Russel, disappear after sighting a strange fog. Shortly afterwards a race of primitive humans are encountered.
Ep16 Another Time, Another Place
A distortion in time produces two separate moons, with two separate Alphas from different eras.
Please do not tag or rehash this release as all that achieves is to dilute the file spread. Feel free to post this release elsewhere but please leave it as it is.
Thank you,
