Space:1999 Drinking Game

Version 0.99a. Alpha testers welcome :)

I'm aware that there's at least one other Space:1999 Drinking Game out there on the net, but to avoid polluting my unique vision, I haven't looked at it yet. But you'll be able to, just as soon as I remember where it was and fix the link...

Right. It's quite simple. Get yourself a large supply of the alcoholic beverage(s) of your choice, sit down in front of the telly, watch an episode (or more) of that seventies sci-fi classic Space:1999, and drink the quantity of your choice whenever one of the following occurs:

An Eagle gets utterly obliterated

and you wonder how come they never run out of them?

An Eagle crashlands
A character unseen before this episode dies
An alien force takes over someone's mind

and they start typing on Computer's keypad really quickly

and whoever tries to stop them gets thrown across the room

Dr Russell is alone in Medical with an unconscious patient who unexpectedly regains consciousness while she's looking the other way and slowly creeps up behind her and she turns round and screams

and someone bursts in at the last moment and stuns her attacker

A regular character dies but is alive again by the end of the episode
Dr Russell is reduced to cowering in a corner and bawling hysterically
You spot a different colour of illuminated wall panel on the Moonbase
That same part of the base that always blows up in exterior shots, blows up
A non-Eagle spaceship appears

and you've seen it before in another episode
and it has an Eagle nosecone in the front

The Alphans find a planet capable of supporting them

and they commence Operation Exodus
and they all have to come back again

Someone steals an Eagle

and renders a person unconscious en route to the launchpad

and steals a commlock from one of them
and knocks out the pilot too

and the pilot is Alan Carter

Koenig has a conflict of opinion with the rest of the senior personnel

and it turns out he's right and everyone else is wrong

They do the Moonwalk in those groovy orange spacesuits
An Eagle picks up or releases its payload

and your first thought is "Thunderbird 2"

You remember seeing this one back in the seventies

Twice

The Moonbase suffers a power loss of some sort

and they lose their heating

and someone in Medical complains that their patients will die
and everyone puts on quilted jackets
and the windows get frosted over

and someone rubs a patch of frost off and thoughtfully peers outside
