Space: 1999 Electrotheme [Remastered] 

Has a series 2 vibe

I just watched both seasons - it's so damn good!

In space, nobody can hear the funk

symphunkedelic!! Season 1 was much more dramatic than season 2 was. I'd love to see a reboot of this series. I know there was a space:2099 concept floating around, and I've bought some of the bigfinish 'reboot' audios. But I feel that there's more to develop there story wise. I had a story fix in my mind being that the moonbase was used for mining of helium-3 and also nuclear waste storage like the original story. Somewhere below the moons surface they discover an alien device and once it's exposed it starts drawing energy from the nuclear waste. Turns out the alien device is a gravity jump drive. It will 'warp' or 'jump' the moon to another solar system within the gravity well of other planets. The moonbase personnel have no idea how to control the device, they only know when it will trigger based on the alien countdown they decipher by studying it. After a while they figure out how to semi-control it, but getting back to earth is no longer really an option because they have no idea where it is after so many jumps. So all they can do is try to find a world where they can stop jumping and start a new life. They discover that they can only stop the device once so they have to be 100% sure this is where they want to stay. Also the alien device takes some amount of time to gather the energy for a jump, so they'll also be stuck where they are until such a time is reached. It would be more of a character based survival drama than an alien of the week series. There would still be the occasional alien they run into, and they keep the alien tech they find and start to incorporate it for their survival, but it would still be about pushing human survival to its absolute limit and how people cope with that trauma and stress but at the same time they marvel at the sights and things they discover along the journey. And maybe over time they discover that the moon was not originally from our solar system, so what happened to the original aliens who came to Earth when the moon stopped it jumping in our orbit?
