Series Three/Spin-Off
Maya was viewed by many as an attempt by new producer Fred Freiberger (who had previously worked on Star Trek) to create a female version of the Mr. Spock character. She, however, became a hit with many viewers and Schell's performance as Maya was considered by many to be the main upside to the second series of Space: 1999. A third series of Space: 1999 was in the works, with a spin-off series based on Maya running in conjunction, but neither transpired by the end of the run.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
