As is usual with almost every Space:1999 episode, you take the good with the bad. Examples :
Good: Wonderfully detailed set for Ultima Thule indoor world. Bad: Goopy, unconvincing shaving foam snow in outside world.
Good: Performances - right down to the supporting characters. Bad: Barbara Bain's acting on the planet's surface when Helena is lost in the Gillette storm.
Good: Horrifying twist ending. Bad: Victor and Helena's hell bent for leather willingness to embrace eternal life.
It is frustrating being a fan of this series, because even with one of the best episodes in the series like this one, you are smiling one minute, shaking your head the next.
