pwnd

[dammitspock]

Would love to see this a live action movie or tv series

[wonderboy0333]

did she say talliban...?,interesting...lol

[KrillLiberator]

I'm left wondering who should be cast as Makara when they eventually do a massive remake of this - someone you could love to hate, but secretly fancy and think "Aww, that's a waste" when they get smeared into the floor.

[battywattywoo]

@KrillLiberator I reckon Miranda Richardson would be a good choice of actress for the awesome Makara.

[cheeeeeeeef]

LOL, never saw the final episode as a kid (not that I ever really understood wtf was going on at 4yrs old) but I *certainly* never expected it to end with Makara getting punched into the floor by Dai X. LOLOLOL

[NeonSamurai72]

It's this scene that made Star Fleet the best kid's show ever!

A giant robot punches it's way through a spaceship until it finds the commander officer, then punches her too! Awesome! It's a valuable lesson that most problems can be solved by punching.

[yaglourt]

@NeonSamurai72 chuck norris agrees

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

Take that, you horrible and yet strangely appealing lady terminator machine-type thing!

[whitewing2]

Lee is always funny, no matter what situation they are into

[CorvidBlight]

Oh GOD, it gets on the space ship, wastes the joint and then PUNCHES MAKARA IN THE FACE! I am so overexcited right now i think i'm gonna flip out.

[lalune1999]

everyone is screeming and lee goes:,, yay!''

XD

[Apophisguard]

Is it me or is Commander Makara as fit as hell? Yak yak.

[MrDannyc15]

quality!

[CMOT101]

By your divine guidance

[zander469]

Probably the best series of any series i ever watched in my life - it gripped me as a kid and it grips me now. The background music was always haunting and beautifuly composed.

[8589brian]

@zander469 i got the box set and it's brilliant.

[calibwah]

wow that was my episode i was a kid. I always wanted that episode on my vhs tape..lol Dai X gave Makara a Mike Tyson's Punch out!!

[pigme1000000]

sounds like they keep saying taliban lololol

[andys1881]

Great stuff...this was thunderbirds for the 80's brought back some memories...glued to the tv every Sunday if I remember....bollocks I'll have to buy it DVD now!!

[Squire1017A]

One of Eric cartman future epsiodes lol the fat ginger one

[nrutas19]

I watched this every week as a kid...but i couldn't remember the name was just watching a tribute to old cartoons and saw the name star fleet..yeah now I remember.

[Simps3210]

LOL punched by the Dai X, sorry Makara.

[LEEDSRHINOS1]

[PharmYardDog]

[ArkadyRose]

It's Caliban, not Taliban.

[PharmYardDog]

hmmm... i was only joking..

[gayguyintheuk]

hey people your having a wet dream about a puppet?

[8589brian]

no but i do like to wank into a sock.

[gayguyintheuk]

eeerr lol no comment

[thejimm2009]

It's a shame Steve James passed away...he'd be PERFECT for Barry Hercules...I didn't know the name of this show until a very nice fan sent me an email. This is...amazing. thanx

[pickassoreborn]

Whoa, I remember watching this when I was a kid! Thanks for uploading it - I loved the show, Dia X was an incredible thing to see at my age and influenced me a great deal.

[burberlang]

The Stat Fleet sound track was written by Brain May originally as a mini album project.

together with Edward Van Halen, Phil Chen, Fred Mandel and Alan Gratze , i think Brain Mayvalso does the vocals himself.

[ArkadyRose]

Not true. The Star Fleet theme was originally written and performed by Paul Bliss. Brian May's son was massively into Star Fleet, so Brian May got a few friends over for a jam session and the Star Fleet Project EP was the result. It featured three tracks: the title track, which was an extended version of the original theme; Let Me Out, a blues number in which Eddie Van Halen ended up torturing his top E string to the point of snapping (leaving him to finish on 5 strings); and Bluesbreaker.

[8589brian]

any idea what the original japanese theme tune sounded like?

[battywattywoo]

For some reason, I've always liked Makara best; I was sad when she was killed off, the first time I saw this. I don't like the Imperial Master (dominant villain in the last few episodes) nearly as much!

Do you find that certain pop songs have permanent associations for you? Whenever I hear my fave Duran Duran song, Is There Something I Should Know?, I can think of nothing but Starfleet!

[apincle]

Do we ever get to see the Luke Skywalker type dude without his helmet?

[LuminoFirewarrior]

f-ing A!!!!!!!!

[shermer75]

Yep, Makara's a fox ;)

[stuprestonexperience]

HELL YEAH!

[8589brian]

@shermer75 i'd do her up the wrong un.

[HeadlessHorseman2K9]

Yay, there are people like me here! I had such a crush on Makara! I haven't seen this in ages and I'm gonna have to scrape the sheckles together to get the dvd!

[maximusdarkultima]

lamia... how could I ever forget that gorgeous face...

[megariderkicku]

hi i'm in the philippines!!

I watched some episodes of this when i was 5 or 6 and i was so amazed especially to this dai x. Not to mention i made a lego replica of x bomber.

I wish this can also be shown in our country. this show is a legend like kamen riders, super sentais, and ultramans.

[huffymatron]

Although I am a big Gerry Anderson fan, after watching Star Fleet I could not take Terrahawks seriously at all. This was a superb series despite its age, and I am seriously considering getting the DVD box set... And I was always a little sad that Makara died - she was a fantastic character in looks, voice and attitude. And her death for a Saturday morning I always thought was suprisingly violent...

[Tony4United4eva]

Come to think of it. I liked Makara and thought of her as kinda sweet and beautiful with that long red hair before she was transformed by the Alliance into the Commander. Too bad she had to get squished...lol...anyway, this is one of my favourite scenes in the series of titanic showdowns...the final fight of Lamia vs the Imperial Master was cool too...thanks for posting!

[Tony3baps]

I liked Makara,despite the fact that she was a puppet she still flashed her midriff...I couldn't work out what that funny feeling I was getting was!! (Back then,not now!!)Ahhh,the innocence of being an 8 year old! lol

[kabogga]

Tony3baps: I know what you mean. When I watched Star Fleet, I always wondered what Makara was like before the Alliance got hold of her. Maybe she was quite a sexy little minx in her time. It's something to think about, ain't it! Lol.

[Rodimus78]

HA, HA,HA,HA,HA,HA!!! Seeing that Giant Robot smashing the hell out that queen's star cruiser from within is the funniest scene that I've ever witnessed! HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HAH!!!!

-R78

[IamEVILBLANKA]

@Tony3baps

lol princess from battle of the planets had that effect on me, must have been the boots : )

[ONDERON101]

whatever happened to captain orion or whatever she was called? I was 4 when i watched this first time round in the early 80's and cheered when makara died, still cheeed now, wot a bitch. is his made by us brits or was it japanese. in my opinion the best show of its kind ever made

[phil99ino]

Terrahawks & Thunderbirds had nothing on this series Star Fleet is way better!

[footlover2345]

i totaly agree with expcept the bit bout terror hawks i loved that as much as this

[battywattywoo]

Yes, I think Terrahawks is slightly better, because the zeroids are cuter than PPA, and it has even more good music, courtesy of Kate Kestrel.

[keithloholic]

hey after makara dies, what happens next? do you have the video for that, if i recall it was like makara has a boss... nice video!

[Kapricorn1]

This is the mutts nutts, and Makara's 'aving it at 3.18, sweet.

[smellyale]

excellent should bring it back

[otowise]

you can get it on dvd now from amazon

[kabogga]

Lol! Watching Caliban on crutches and in bandages is just so funny. And I swear I saw a packet of headache pills in his pocket too. What a cowardly fellow he was. He also had a funny accent that switched between Russian and Jamaican. Weird that. Anyway, Loved it!

[flashbiddy]

This was PROPER BOY'S TV When TV was'nt afraid to take risks , Sadly TV is now run by women and gays, so shows like this will NEVER be made in the uk like this again!! If it had a phone vote, ant and dec , Graham norton and Cowell it WOULD GET MADE!

[chillychaz]

how homophobic, you idiot!

[smokintony]

"Commander Makara its goodbye"

"This is for Dr Ben"

[bagpussey]

commander Makara's battlecruiser smashed to fcuk. Brilliant

[kevster755]

1:16 did she say "taliban finish them off"? lol

[sword4thelord]

Caliban actually but like that thought! ;-)

[sergio007x]

yeah! ha ha ha very ironic

[ranma24601]

Ever time I see another clip of this classic series, I find myself wishing that it had come out on dvd years ago. Still not long now eh?

[Jerez911]

Cool memory!
