Ep 6. Voyager's Return

Commander Koenig and his team at Moonbase Alpha are faced with a puzzling and terrifying situation in episode 6 of Space 1999’s first season, Voyager’s Return. The episode begins with the sudden appearance of a spacecraft calling itself Voyager, which requests and gains permission to land at the moonbase. However, things quickly become complicated as contact with the spacecraft is lost during its descent to the base, and the ship and its crew are found to be in a state of suspended animation upon landing.

As the team works to revive the crew of Voyager, they are faced with a series of alarming discoveries. The spacecraft’s technology and designs are far beyond anything that the team at Moonbase Alpha has ever seen before, and as they investigate further, they begin to suspect that there may be sinister motivations at play. Meanwhile, the team’s resident ‘computer expert’, Professor Victor Bergman, is tasked with trying to communicate with the ship’s computer, but quickly realizes that the technology and code used are entirely different from anything he has ever encountered.

As the plot unfolds, the situation becomes more and more precarious, with the crew of Voyager struggling to come to terms with their new environment and the moonbase team attempting to piece together the strange mysteries of the alien spacecraft. As they work to unravel the secrets and motivations behind Voyager’s appearance, the team discovers that the stakes are even higher than they had initially suspected, and that their already perilous situation may be even more dangerous than they had anticipated.

As with many episodes of Space 1999, Voyager’s Return is full of suspense, intrigue, and high-stakes drama. The show’s thoughtful and intelligent plotlines and the intense character interactions provide a perfect blend of sci-fi action and character-driven drama, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with every twist and turn. With its imaginative settings, intense action sequences, and powerful performances, Space 1999’s first season episode 6, Voyager’s Return, is an enthralling and evocative exploration of the mysteries of space – and the limits of humanity’s understanding.
