I so remember this. Slow opening shot of different colonies under dome , floating in space. Our heroes would find themselves in a new dome every episode. Had an old star trek kinda feel with more peril.

Good to see Alannis Morisette getting in some time towards her SAG credit.

IMDb rating of 6.2. Won Writers Guild of America for Episodic Drama…I’d be interested in seeing it.

I was around five when I saw an episode of this at my aunt’s place on cable tv in the middle of the afternoon in the 70s. I somehow got it into my head that this was a sci fi soap opera played five days a week. Didn’t even know about Dark Shadows.

FOR ITS TIME, it wasn’t that bad. It was obviously low budget, but it had its niche.

We had Blakes7 in the UK.

It was the epitome of low budget, wobbly sets early 80's production values, but damn some of the storylines were dark.

There certainly was. It wasn't super popular until the 80's but the first cable service began in 1948.

There was some truly great cheesy sci-fi tv in the 70s and 80s. Buck Rodgers, Quark, the original Battlestar Galactica, about a thousand others. Cashing in on Star Wars was a huge thing.

My mom was a massive sci-fi fan so we watched all that stuff. Quark was one of her favorites even tho it didn't last long. We always watched together.

If you've never read his take down on it, seek it out. What he was hired to create, vs the budget and structure he was provided were completely different. Add in the really bad post editing and you get Star Lost. His review of his own work is brutal and funny.
