No Alien cares about the MOON?!?!?

Did we watch the same show? No the Alphans were not content. They were living in an artificial atmosphere so much so that when the planet Arial give the moon what it needed: An atmosphere and air to breathe. However, it was with a caveat.... Arial was trying to give them a momentary Eden until the Moon passed by Arial so they would not attempt a landing on Arial, a planet that would give them all they needed in an Earth-type planet. They are basically existing on rations and breathing artificially created air. They are not allowed to have children, nor can they dream of anything outside of their work so that is why episodes like "The Troubled Spirit" showing them attending a guitar recital is special because it means a small increment of normalcy. But no where are they "content". They are surviving. And your idea of what this show was is dead wrong.

One thing, do not take season two as belonging to the show. Martin Landau never did. In fact he hated season two.
