The reviews so far on this page consist of a gang of season 2 revilers, one, lone person standing up for the second season, and all others telling the loner how wrong he is and being completely closed-minded about the second season having any merit when seen with a positive perspective. The sad thing is that this is perfectly indicative of what has ailed Space: 1999 fandom for 23 years, why bullying, bitterness, and animosity exist in its divided ranks, why no progress has been made toward understanding and reconciliation, and why there has not been a successful united effort to achieve a revival of Space: 1999.
The show is about the adventures of Earthmen in a totally alien region of space. The phenomena encountered are farfetched- as well they should be. Space: 1999's tagline was "explore worlds beyond belief". Suspension of disbelief is therefore necessary to appreciate the show. If people's imaginations are not flexible enough to do this, that's their problem, not the show's.
Having said this, one must emphasize that it's just a TV show, and a damn good one. The special effects and overall production values of BOTH seasons were excellent for their time.

In answer to other reviewers' questions, Clouseau's wife in the original Pink Panther, as played by Capucine, was named Simone. Although Simone was Sir Charles Litton's mistress and is shown going away to South America with him at the end of The Pink Panther, that does not necessarily mean that she immediately married him and became for all time Lady Litton. Lady Litton as played by Catherine Schell in The Return of the Pink Panther is Claudine, another woman entirely. If anything, it's The Trail of the Pink Panther, the atrocious jumble released after Sellers' death, that strained credibility of continuity here by bringing back Capucine as Simone and having her say that *she* was married to Sir Charles for the many years after the original Pink Panther. Of course, it is possible, albeit unlikely, that Sir Charles married her, then divorced her to marry Claudine, then divorced Claudine to remarry Simone.
David Niven was unavailable to reprise Sir Charles, which is why Christopher Plummer was cast in the role in Return of the Pink Panther.
