Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is a science-fiction TV series that aired during the late 1970s. The show follows the adventures of Buck Rogers, a NASA astronaut who wakes up in the 25th century after being cryogenically frozen for over 500 years.

Season 2 of the show opens up with the first episode titled Time of the Hawk (1). In this episode, Buck Rogers finds himself in a new adventure as he travels to a world named Throm, which is populated by a peaceful and primitive bird-like people known as the Koori. However, things take a turn when Buck discovers that the Koori people are being threatened by an aggressive and violent tribe known as the Terrons.

As Buck works with the Koori to protect their people and help them defend themselves against the Terrons, he begins to notice something strange about the leader of the tribe. The Terrons' leader, a man known as the Hawk, possesses technological weapons and a knowledge of the past that seem to contradict the primitive nature of the Terrons.

As Buck digs deeper, he discovers that the Hawk has a hidden agenda. He is actually a human from Buck's time who was sent to Throm on a failed mission and has stayed there ever since. The Hawk has been using the advanced technology from his ship to manipulate and control the Terrons, who see him as a godlike figure.

As Buck tries to negotiate with the Hawk and bring peace to the two tribes, he is met with resistance from both sides. The Koori are hesitant to trust the Terrons, and the Terrons see Buck as a threat to their way of life. Buck must use his wits and diplomatic skills to earn both tribes' trust and convince them to work together against a greater threat.

As the episode progresses, Buck and his new allies face an even greater danger when a warlord named Kaleel arrives on Throm and attempts to conquer both the Koori and the Terrons. As the situation becomes more dire, Buck and his allies must use all of their skills and resources to defend themselves and their way of life.

Overall, Time of the Hawk (1) is an exciting and action-packed episode that sets the tone for the rest of the season. Fans of the show will enjoy the dynamic between Buck and his new allies, as well as the intrigue and mystery surrounding the Hawk's true identity and motives.
