Balor is a great character, very well played by the guest actor. The music only scenes when Balor escapes and fights the Alphans too ominous music is creepy and neat. It helps play up his alien-ness.
Koenig's ultimate victory comes when he strikes Balor, who is promptly outraged. This rings very true.
The pilot attacking Koenig with the model airplane is very effectively terrifying.
The typical 1999 flaws:
Why only about 300 people on Alpha? Less than the original USS Enterprise? The pilot losing his flight privileges isn't very convincing with this number of people. I think he would get to fly again, considering the attrition rates of Eagles/pilots on Alpha. Alpha should have 3,000 or 30,000 people.
This asteroid is conveniently in range just for enough time to have a mission.
They land on this rock for some reason and decided they should set of charges... why??
They blast Balor out the airlock into space... um, what? Shouldn't that be out onto the moon? Were they just being cheap here, or did they think we just forgot where they are?
