I just watched the episode "Mission of the Darians" of Space 1999 (e09s01) and was struck by how very close it came to Metamorphosis Alpha. The crew of Moonbase Alpha encounters a gigantic spacecraft floating in the interstellar void and in response to a distress call a team enters the vessel. Aboard they find that the majority of the spacecrafts humanoid passangers have reverted to barbarism following a catastrophy hundreds of years ago, only a small group of the Darians have retained some manner of civilisation. But as the Alphans investigate the Darian generationship they uncover a horrible secret.
Space 1999 is quite cheesy by contemporary standards (kind of like Star Trek ToS) but its often great fun to watch, and I really recommend that you have a look at this episode if you like Metamorphosis Alpha. It sure got me in the mood to play some MA!
