Earth's runaway moon passes a weird asteroid that emits weird energy readings, and when moonbase Alpha's commander Koenig (Martin Landau) goes up to investigate, he finds himself in a cave full of mirrors - where his reflection comes to life, knocks Koenig out and travels back to Alpha to assume Koenig's place - and his first action is to order for all of Alpha's energy to be beamed to the asteroid (to awake his race from eternal hibernation, but of course he doesn't tell that to the Alphans). Science officer and shapeshifter Maya (Catherine Schell) questions this order and is confined to her quarters for it. Now nobody dares to oppose Koenig, but chief of security Tony (Tony Anholt) knows Maya's on to something, and together the two manage to convince Dr Helena Russell (Barbara Bain) to help them in a rouse to get their hands on a shuttle to fly down to the asteroid to see what's happening. When Koenig wants to shoot down the shuttle, it's the first time his authority is questioned, and from now on the situation is tense on Alpha - while system upon system is failing due to energy loss.

On the asteroid, Maya and Tony find the real Koenig and get him back to Alpha, where he takes care of his double via ultrasonic sounds (apparently the alien's achilles heel). And thus, the energy beam to the asteroid is cut off, the alien race though pretty much destroyed ...

 

Average episode of Space 1999 that puts more emphasis on suspense than anything else, but not always to the best of results - in part because the story to create suspense is rather ridiculous, and in part because Martin Landau's performance as his evil self is rather unsubtle. But that said, it's still an ok episode, rather low on camp and silliness that made both the best and the worst episodes of the series, but also low on miniature effects that were always a highlight of Space 1999
