the meeting, and the end of Rocky Jones! B+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Silver Needle In The Sky is a series of
episodes from the old Rocky Jones - Space
Ranger series where Richard Crane as Rocky
and the rest of the crew of his ship the
Orbit Jet are taking a whole bunch of
delegates from earth and other worlds
to a peace conference on one of the United
Worlds Space Station. This gives the
evil empress of Ophesius, an outlaw
planet the chance to do some more dirty
work.

Patsy Parsons is Cleolanta, ruler of
Ophesius, part empress and all diva.
How dare they have a peace conference
and not invite her. Of course fans of
the show remember her as the running
villain who was pulling all kinds of
schemes every week. She resolves to
kidnap the conference delegates and
exchange them for a couple of high
level Ophesian operatives that are
prisoners on earth.

With a couple of close calls Rocky
and the crew pull it all out. It becomes
a real bust for Parsons and part of
the reason also is a little bit of
an Ophesian power play by a couple
of her trusty aides. And young Robert
Lyden has his moment to shine in the
series where for once his small size
comes in handy to get them all out
of a bad mess.

It's still enjoyable to me, but with
the advances we've made in the past
57 years not even seven year olds
today could really appreciate Silver
Needle In The Sky. - bkoganbing
