Space1999: Black Sun

How to forget the episode of season I "The Black Sun". I think It was the best scifi telefilm never seen on TV screen. So I would make a tribute about it with the great song "The Book of my life" performed by Sting. I hope you enjoy the choice between scenes and music.
This vid comes from a passion and it was not done for profit.

I thing it's better NOT comment a tv movie video with a song, because the words of the song mix with the words of the movie, and it's no good. Better an instrumental piece. My opinion.

[HelenaRussell]

@bimbomistico I don't agree. The song is like a frame of a picture. You have to feel the emotions that it does with the emotions of video clip. That's all.

Thanks anyway for the comment.

I am in absolute agreement with this view. Fantastic

episode, the best in the series. I see him often willingly

on DVD and I read the italian novelization, with texts by Gianni

Padoan edited by the AMZ books: when I was a child these books were the most coveted prizes! (There were still VCRs!). Good Job! Thanks!

@simplicius1970 Thank you! :-)

Very...ambitious episode.

Give them credit, at least, for trying to be different. However, I think they bit off more than they could chew with the always difficult theme of metaphysics within science fiction. The episode fell flat on its face, and leaves most viewers scratching their heads after many scenes.

Not the best episode of an actually quite fine season of Space 1999. But not from the lack of trying.

[HelenaRussell]

@gadzooks004 I'm not agree with you. The episode was made in '70! I guess the best episode in whole Space 1999 season.

Bye, Angela.

To bad the Sci FI channel chooses to show stupid slasher/vampire movies rather than such programming as UFO,Space 1999, Dr.Who, ect... Now they change it to SyFy to satisfy them low I.Q. types that could not figure out whay "Sky FI meant. Such promise, such dissapointment.

Superb episode Black Sun most of Season 1 was superb Another Time Another Place,Missing Link,War Games<Collision Course, Deaths Other Dominion,End Of Eternity,The Troubled Spirit and the Breakaway Pilot still as good today as it was almost 35 years ago

@IWannabeJew You probably saw the TV movie cobbled together from two episodes which was called "Through The Black Sun." It used this episode and (I believe) "Breakaway." They shoulda just left well enough alone, IMHO.

[IWannabeJew]

I'm pretty sure I saw The Black Sun on TV in America, possibly as a "movie".

@HelenaRussell I am with you Helena...in fact most of the stars will name this as the best episode on space 1999. I think people forget...this is science fiction...and from the 70's. !! I'll take the beating for any negative comments as I am sure I will get a few for this view. Oh well....this episode ( to me) was genius!!!

Really well done!! Thanks a lot!!
