...Or when my parents realised their daughter is a weirdo.
This is Space Patrol, The Fantastic Adventures of The Spaceship Orion. It was first broadcasted on the only! channel of the Hungarian Television in 1968 and was on air many more times. I was around 4 or 5 years old when I watched it the first time.The first ever sci-fi had a massive impact on me at this very young age. I loved every minute, it ignited my imagination. Instead of playing with dolls, I built card board spaceship. Poor housecats were the crew and I saved the Universe in epic battles again and again as Tamara from the Orion.
In the communist era the series was definitely not about the victory of communism, in the year 3000 it was rather a utopia full with sexy chicks and cool guys. From crisis to crisis the crew members were busting and shouting and then laughing over a whiskey together. McLane and his loyal crew of four then defeated the evil-hearted Frogs and saved humanity.
Today you would say it is not for a 4 year-old, for me it was the highlight of the week. I did not start to swear and drink any soon, but the first time I looked up to the stars and learned that the Space is out there with full of wonders.
