Buck Rogers and Wilma fly to Theta Station to leave Twiki helping to fix the computerized system while they spend five days in Genesis invited by Hieronymous Fox. They arrive at the station where Commander Royko is an old friend of Wilma. Out of the blue, a freighter crashes the station and Royko, Buck and Wilma find all the crew dead. After listening to the records, they believe that a lethal virus has attacked the crew and now is released in the station. However, Dr. Ecbar notes that the freighter's crew is neither alive nor dead, and proceeds his exams of the bodies. But soon he is attacked by an alien creature and also dies. Buck Rogers and Twiki retrieve the information stored in a robot that belonged to the passenger of the freighter, and he learns that a creature named Vorvon is the responsible for turning humans into zombies. But Commander Royko does not believe him and believes he is having hallucinations, and Buck is arrested. But soon Wilma is possessed by the Vorvon, and Buck Rogers cannot protect her.
"Space Vampire" is a highly entertaining episode of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". Vampire stories are always captivating, and this episode is no exception to the rule. The conclusion is rushed and could be better, but is among one of the best. Good also to see Christopher Stone, in the role of Commander Royko, who certainly have a past with Wilma Deering. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Space Vampire"
