jeriendhalSo I was poking around Netflix and much to my joy, I found that Jason of Star Command is now available for streaming. Suffice it to say that it was the final product of Filmation's 70's live action shows, where they attempted to do a Star Wars style adventure on a Saturday morning children's show budget.
This worked out about as well as can be expected. While the effects are impressive given that they were made on a budget a $20 and unlimited cheese sandwiches, the cheese also extends to the action, acting and scripts (and the music beyond the opening theme was cribbed from Star Trek: The Animated Series). On the plus side, it did help James Doohan pay the bills until ST:TMP started filming.
