Part one of the only two parter in Space 1999's history starts out well enough. Koenig is injured and since he's always the most suspicious character, is out of the way. Let's ignore that if a nuclear explosion because of years of storage actually erupted, the moon wouldn't be blown out of orbit, it would likely be blown to bits. Also, Earth would suffer devastating tidal waves before having no tides at all, thanks to the moon becoming a new ring around the planet. Leaving that aside, part one is creepy as nuclear absorbing aliens who can fool human minds land. Koenig wakes up and problems arise. The aliens design looks like they got all the parts out of a dumpster and is quite unconvincing. But the episode itself isn't bad and does contain some tension.
