Starcops Intro

What does the opening represent? Has the astronaut's oxygen supply run out, so his hypoxia led him to hallucinate about diving into a lake and being unable to resurface? Or is it the other way around (=an old man dived into a lake, where he went into a shock which made him hallucinate about being an astronaut)?

MAJOR EPISODE SPOILERS!!!!

The opening is the precursor to the episode plot....SPOILERS! SPOILERS!There is a spate of mysterious pressure suit failures, one of which we see here. The guy in the lake is being murdered, and it turns out that the suit failures are due to sabotage in an attempt for a rival company to the murdered man's to win the maintenance contract.

Chris Boucher, the creator of the series planned to resume the story on Mars, following Nathan Spring's intended move there to set-up an ISPF office ("Little Green Men and Other Martians"). Unfortunately, there were "creative differences" within the project, and the 2nd series never got off the ground.

I have the same name as the main character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn good show. Just a pity there are so few episodes.

It has been. I got my dvd box set months ago. Better hunt it down NOW before they delete it!

I checked, it's only available in region 2 dvds and they have been discontinued. I'll have to try to get a hold of a copy and transfer it to region 1.
Thanks

Womderful theme. I miss the show, they should have made many many more episodes, not just 9!

Love Star Cops, the characters, and the Justin Hayward song. I did not know about the ratings you mentioned. I *think* I remember reading that a general British actor's strike ended the production (they had only done 7 or 8 up to then?) and that it was never returned to after the strike. I guess I could be wrong about that. I saw it in NYC in the 80s on PBS and taped about 5 of them.

Well look at Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Cops do you see a bit of similarity.
