Another year has gone by, and once again it's September 13th. It's been 21 years since September 13, 1999.
I was recently watching bits and pieces of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Once again the thought came to mind that if someone had done a TV series spinoff of 2001 it would have looked a lot like the first season of Space: 1999. The visual influence of the former on the latter is pretty obvious. I'm guessing some of the plots would have easily been transferable between the two.
And for those who didn't know September 13th is Barbara Bain's birthday. She turns 89 today. I wonder if this was coincidence, or if the choice of a date for Breakaway was because she co-starred in the series.
