Talk:Breakaway (Space: 1999)

Lon Satton

I've heard that Satton wanted to much money to reprise his role. Which is correct? Douglasnicol 18:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Does the reference satisy you? Douglasnicol 17:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

"Scientific Errors"

"Scientific Errors"? Folks, this is Space: 1999. What possible use is a "scientific errors" section? It's like having a "theological errors" section for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The entire show is nonsense from a scientific point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanWillard (talk • contribs) 10:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Space:1999 gets much ridicule for its 'errors', though other sci-fi shows are just as guilty, it doesn't seem right to single out one show. Douglasnicol (talk) 18:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I've removed that section and pasted it below. It's unreferenced and not notable. --Duncan (talk) 13:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There are errors with the phases of the Moon in this episode, even for a four-day period. There are also shots of Eagle craft approaching the Moon from very far out, with the Earth in the background, as if the Eagle was approaching the Earth-Moon system from deep space. September 9 was a new moon, therefore, Earth should have been full, with the Eagle approaching with a full Earth in the background and a totally dark near-side of the Moon. Four days later, Earth should have been a waning gibbous phase, while the Moon would be a waxing crescent. The waste disposal site would have to be somewhere between 90 and 130 degrees East longitude in order to accelerate the Moon out of orbit.

Plot summary

The plot summary is over 2,000 words long, which is absurd. See WP:TVPLOT. 64.124.27.3 (talk) 02:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
