This is not a song choice I would've ever called for this particular source, but OMG, so goooooood.

Just the dorky, high-flying spirit of those magnificent Space Patrollers in their wonderful flying machine.

More thoughts later, probably, when I've collected myself.

Hee! Oh, this was brilliant.

[jetpack_monkey]

So I love the mix of genres here. There's this meta aspect which compares the space adventure with the Western -- two genres both concerned with the frontier, but one about policing it, the other about surviving it. But still, quite a lot of overlap.

But also, it's just good old fun, with lots of great use of visual-musical match-ups and some great juxtapositions (explosions will be followed by drinks on the bridge). And then spaaaaaace daaaaancing.

Love it.

Oh, yes, Western in space. So apropos.

[violace]

Enjoyed this so much despite never having seen the show. (And you'd think I'd have to have seen at least bits of it, being German and all. Huh!)

[turlough]

Fabulous!

[lacerta]

Oh, this is amazing! Love your editing.

I loooove Raumpatrouille Orion, and I'm not commenting in greater detail on these vids until after reveals because jetpack_monkey suspects me of having made these, but I am so happy these vids exist.

The drama! The adventures! The battles! The 'special' effects! Really cool vid.

[franzeska]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! They don't call 'em "Space Oaters" for nothing!

I like that you did actual credits with 'the good', etc.

[felis]

Ahaha, what an inspired music choice. Your editing really fits the 'space as western' theme, too, and I love the opening credits. Great fun to watch!

[valika]

Thank you so much!*blushes* Editing this one was pure fun.:)))

[valika]

Hey, mixing these genres was a crazy idea, but it was so much fun to make!

[valika]

I'm so happy, that you enjoyed this one! Go and watch this old sci-fi show, you'll love it, trust me!

[valika]

Thanks you so much!

[valika]

Thank you so much! It was pure fun to edit.:)

[valika]

I also love this old German TV-show! This was my very first fandom (really!) when I was a child many-many years ago (yes, I'm THIS old). I wanted to do this soooo much! It was pure fun to edit.:)

(I giggled seeing your icon.:) Funny moment from the movie!)

[valika]

Oh, thank you so much for leaving me such a nice comment!

[valika]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm glad that you liked the credits!:)

[valika]

Thank you for watching and commenting here so nicely! I'm glad that you liked the opening credits!:) Editing this one was great fun, too.:)))

[valika]

Hey, I was so excited, when I saw, that you wished a Raumpatrouille video! As this old German black-and-white TV-show from the sixties was my very first fandom when I was a child many-many years ago (yes, I'm THIS old), I wanted to do this vid soooo much! Mixing the genres was just a crazy idea first. Telling the truth, editing this one was pure fun.:))) Good old McLane and his crew!♥

I'm so happy, that you loved it!:)
