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:
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
