Synopsis:

Buck and Wilma go undercover to spy on a terrorist organization, The Legion Of Death. Their mission: to prevent the destruction of New Chicago. Buck infiltrates the group and is aided by beautiful Joella. Our heroes run out of time when the villains reach Earth, but at the last minute one of the villains, tragically disfigured Varek, repents and helps save the day.

Intentions:

Spies in space extends this interplanetary spy story. It merges the two parts and expands the adventure with a backstory of Buck’s experience as a spy in the 20th century (using flashbacks from a Season 2 episode). Twiki gets two extra lines in the final scene, so Joella doesn't need to understand his bidi-bidi language (it always bugged me as lazy writing that Twiki wasn't given any actual text there).

Change List:

- Add backstory: Buck takes on a spy and infiltrate mission to save New Chicago. We now open with a pre-credits flashback to the 1980s that shows us Buck's experience with being a spy and infiltrating in an effort to save America. The scenes are cropped from an in-show TV monitor in season 2 episode Testimony of a Traitor, resulting in a lower but acceptable resolution. - Less corny: trim Buck's lamest lines. E.g. about Sherese that "she's nice". Focus man, these are deadly villains! - Twiki has two extra lines in the final scene, so Joella doesn't need to understand his bidi-bidi language. Added benefit is that this makes Joella look less ditzy and shifts the joke from her onto Buck. - In the flow of adding and trimming a fanedit, sometimes a good intention doesn't quite work. Often because the available material is limited. A nice example for this edit is the unused addition of Buck and Joella’s conversation in space (using dialog from the same actors in Not Just Another Affair). The intention was to flesh out the interaction between them to show Joella more as a we're-joking-together buddy to Buck and less as a I'm-just-along-for-the-ride girl. This deleted new scene is included in the Video section of this listing.
