* CustomUniformOfSexy:
** Downplayed for Dr. Russell. Despite her being the only female part of consequence in the first season, and Barbara Bain's obvious star status, her uniform is only slightly different from those of the other crew, and the changes were mostly for comfort - no zipper on the sleeves (she found the zipper to be too cold) and sleeves made of silk instead of wool. However, her uniform seems to fit tighter and show off her figure better than the other women's. Unlike the other women, she also seems to be wearing a bra that emphasizes her breasts.
** When we first see Maya in the first episode of season 2, she is wearing rather extravagant SpaceClothes, but as she joins the doctor as a female lead, she dons the same uniform as everybody else. It is, however, cut slightly differently, to look a bit sexier than the standard issue.

** Downplayed for Dr. Russell. Despite her being the only female part of consequence in the first season, and Barbara Bain's obvious star status, she wears exactly the same uniform as everyone else - but unlike the other women's (which according to the producers were designed to de-emphasize their bodies), hers is almost skintight. Unlike the other women, she also seems to be wearing a bra which emphasizes her breasts. The result is that she looks much curvier than her colleagues.

* TheCameo: "The Taybor" featured Rita Webb, better known for comedy.

* DownerEnding: Oooh boy... Lots of 'em. "Breakaway", "Death's Other Dominion", "Space Brain", "War Games", "Dragon's Domain", "The Testament of Arcadia", "Journey to Where", "The Dorcons" noteworthy examples.

%% * ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler: "Mission of the Darians"]], in a way, also [[spoiler: "The Metamorph"]].
* ImmortalitySeeker:
** The Dorcons in the episode with the same name can become immortal by implanting a Psychon brain stem in their brain. The leader of the Dorcons is prepared to kill everybody on Alpha to take the brain stem of Maya, who is the last surviving Psychon and therefore his only chance to gain immortality. Since losing her brain stem would naturally kill her, Maya and the rest of the Alphans are less keen on the idea.
** Deconstructed in "Death's Other Dominion", where Dr. Rowland's attempts to learn the secret of the immortality he and his group now possess results in several of them being reduced to mindless vegetables and ultimately [[spoiler:earns him a messy death upon leaving the planet]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: The moonbase setting, with the living quarters, control room and Eagle launch pads, seems like an expanded version of the moonbase in ''Series/UFO1970''. The original concept of the show was a Moonbase-centric, 1999-situated continuation of ''UFO'', but in the actual show the subject matter and typical plots are very different.

** The thin fabric of the first-season uniforms makes it rather obvious that most of the women aren't wearing bras. This is not played for fanservice and may be a conscious part of the unisex costume design[[note]]Bras had no place in Rudy Gernreich's vision of a unisex future[[/note]]. Averted in the second season when the women's uniform design was changed to look more feminine.

** The uniforms of the first season are a notable aversion: despite following the usual SciFi fashion of tight jumpsuits, they were deliberately designed to create a completely unisex look and avoid sexualizing the women. This was in marked contrast to the precursor ''Series/UFO1970'' and most other SciFi shows of the times. This concept was abandoned in the second season where the women's uniforms are more feminine, with skirts as an alternative to trousers, though they still stay far short of the fanservice department. ** When the crew adopt, or are forced to adopt, native dress while visiting planets, those clothes sometimes are more a bit on the {{Stripperific}} side.

* CompilationMovie: This series was edited into five of these (including the show's only two-parter, "The Bringers of Wonder", which became ''Destination Moonbase Alpha''). Some additional material was also filmed for the first movie, ''Alien Attack'' (which compiled "Breakaway" and "War Games"). One, ''Cosmic Princess'' (compiling "The Metamorph" and "Space Warp" -- interestingly enough, the events of both episodes happen days to weeks apart in series canon and are not connected, but the compilation makes it look like they happen one immediately after the other), was featured in an early season of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. Before the series' launch in UsefulNotes/{{Italy}} one of these called ''Spazio: 1999''(the series' name on Italian TV) released in Italian cinemas in 1975. it was compiled scenes from "Breakaway", "Ring Around the Moon" and "Another Time, Another Place", and given a ForeignRescore[=/=]RecycledSoundtrack made up of Music/EnnioMorricone pieces!
