When I was a kid I watched this show religiously. When I saw this particular episode it scared the hell out of me. It became my favorite episode. So much i familiarized myself with the chronological order of reruns to know when it would air again! 😂
One of the sillier episodes. I also recognised the 'talisman' as the same piece Commander Adama wore on a chain around his neck from the 70s series Battlestar Galactica.
The way to watch this clip is with catty narrative off to the soundtrack of Prince's "Let's Pretend We're Married" to get the feel of what living in the late Seventies was like: hot ladies gettin' foxy (and this from a lifelong gay man... )
I’d like to see a more updated version of this particular episode. The concept is there…just needs the right method of execution! This or have a Star Wars show based off the Blackwing infection! You know…the chemical that created a zombie outbreak amongst stormtroopers reshaping them into “Death Troopers”! Created by Darth Drear and experimented with another 1000 years later by Darth Scabrous. The only problem is I know Disney will butcher the fuck out of a potentially great segment!
I wrote a Star Trek episode where the Enterprise was slowly being taken over by vampires. In the end Kirk and Spock were the only ones who weren't vampires and they were surrounded in the hanger bay, stuck in the Galileo. Kirk realized the whole crew was there in the hanger bay and all he had to do was open up the door and the crew would be sucked out into space. He used the emergency hatch on top of the Galileo and used a phaser on stun to hit the emergency release button and that opened the hanger door. After they were all sucked out. Kirk was able to hit the button again to close it.
I remember this, as a kid. Mainly how ridiculous it was no one in the show could accept the existence of far fetched space vampires, but its space, with weird aliens, energy vampires are the obvious and grounded explanation, I felt like they were idiots.
So wanted the vampire to bite her neck and elsewhere for that matter , 😏😏 instead we get him putting his fingers on her, completely disappointed great potential episode falls flat
@nightfangs2910 I do understand where you are coming from. I have watched a few vampire films myself. You need to remember that this is the 25th Century and this is a cleaner way for the Vorvon to drain the souls of his victims. Especially Wilma.
@@michaelnewton5873Also remember that this was a network show back in the 1970s. They were still not keen on showing explicit violence back then. Thus, laser guns that stunned people and karate chops that knocked out bad guys were kind of the order of the day. All violence tended to be implied and kept off screen, especially death and serious injury.
That silver medalion that Buck uses to ward off the vampires was the same thing Adama wore in Battlestar Galactica
Nice observation
I always wondered if they really thought no one would notice. Both shows shared an audience

@gmansi also the ship that collided with the station was a re-used model from Battlestar Galactica.
@@joelellis7035 Thanks for the info!
How they squeezed Erin Grey into those costumes will forever amaze me!
They literally sewed her into it
Not going to lie, I watched the show because of Wilma.
@BootFetish4Ever Well, we can't say that we haven't seen the dark side of Wilma.
Same 👍🙂
Who didn't? Them spandex pants were hard to resist!
@@joelellis7035
As a kid that Vorvon terrified me. But Wilma in that spandex...dear Lord
Me too, only I was 29.

It was awesome watching this as a kid ,I loved my little buck Rogers space fighter toy 🤟 and tweety was one of the best robots 🤖 on TV 📺
Scared me too. The scariest part was that our heroine, Wilma was turned evil.
Sounds like the origin story of a card counter in vegas
@@ronmwangaguhunga9435 man if I knew how to do that…I sure as hell wouldn’t be sitting here broke! 😆
This episode freaked me out back when it first came out.
Erin 's best episode on this series. Low bar I know.
🤣🤣
When Wilma said that she drained them and it felt good, it fueled my imagination for a long time.
😁
LOL i think she "drained" us all at some point in time, from younger to older...
@@Realmasterorderjust what I was going to say 😂😂😂😂
@@Katy-m3m
The one episode I missed when it first aired and I had to wait YEARS to see it in syndication.
My favorite episode, scared the crap out of me as a kid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think the space station was an unused miniature from Battlestar Galactica.
Space Spandex!
This is my Top 3 favorite Buck Rogers episodes. Loved this show since Day 1, even the disappointing 2nd Season.
And number 1 and 2?
@@gmansi Planet of the Slave Girls and Any of the Ardala episodes (You can't pick one). Honorable Mentions: The Hand of the Goral and The Guardians.
@@YolandaAnneBrown95726 Great selection!
Loved this episode Loved Wilma when i was young and still love her now
I was 12 when this aired on t.v. it was one of my favorite shows
I’m just here for Wilma…
This gave me nightmares as a young kid. I was so worried for Wilma - lol
Something about possessed Wilma umm Stirred? something inside my young self

Can't blame the vampire to pick up the hottest girl of the series.
My favorite episode of any sci-fi show that ever was. I was only 8 or 9 at the time, but DAMN - it made me a MAN!
Boy this scared me as a 7 year old, I had to switch back to Dr Who.
🤣

@@trhansen3244 I never really kept up on Star Trek. Did this ever air or anything ever become of it?
Get twiki some maintenance? I have a feeling given this episode, he has wholly missed out! 🤣

I am SHOCKED....the black guy didn't die!!
I have a feeling the producers stole some of the makeup ideas from Salem's Lot for this space vampire. Damn scary.
Or it could have been the other way around. It's hard to say for sure.
That space vamp needs his mono brow waxed....serious waxed....
The Vauhgner group leader looking for new recruits.
Hmm...wilma or wonder woman? Which was the hottest?.
Great at the time but my goodness it looks rubbish now....😅😅
Wilma, wilma, wilma

I don’t remember this episode either because it scared the 💩 out of 10 year old me or it was as bad as it looks.
Me watch series blu ray. Good series. Fun. Not bad. You ten year old you bad taste have.
No their not vampires they are Borg that’s not vampire fangs as teeth that’s taisers each carrying 1000 volts per fang
