The series was surely guilty for my interest in space exploration...
I remember that it was broadcast when I couldn´t even read, but when I heard the music I would leave all the toys and come running to the living room screaming completely euphoric "It's MinóMinó!!!", Space 1999 in portuguese is an hard expression for a 3 years old kid to say...Espaço Mil Novecentos e Noventa e Nove...  Never forgot it and when the internet arrived one of the first things I went looking for was the theme...How I love that groovy theme...  And those Eagles... And Maya... And those freakin-something-like-algae monsters... It brings some very good memories... Here goes... The opening sequence And a very looong wikipedia article... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

I missed picking up a used DVD boxed set of the entire Space, Above and Beyond (really didn't see the series due to working evenings). For the Brit crew here... Don't forget that Dr. Who has grown up. A Dr. Who episode didn't get a best "Dramatic Short form" Hugo award this year for nothing.

Just revieved "Dragon's domain" (pretty scary, now I recall!
) and "Mission of the Darians". The latter is another of the last episodes of first (memorable) season and, apart very intriguing females figures, at the beginning there is a huge spaceship capturing the Eagle... So i made a couple of nice anaglyph from the sequence:
And look at this dialog, it recall me something from a far, far away galaxy:  KOENIG: Alan, there's fifty miles of ship, keep trying. CARTER: We're being drawn into the ship. All Eagle systerns are smothered. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
