    Which SPACE 1999 Intro was best ?

    Season-1
    YouTube - Space 1999 Intro

    or

    Season-2
    YouTube - Space 1999 Season 2 Opening

    I'd have to go with Season-1.
    The only thing I don't like about season-1's intro is Barbara Bain turning.
    To me it reminds of something Gerry Anderson would do to introduce a puppet
    I also didn't like seeing spoiler clips in the intro.
    Kind of ruined the episode

    I also like the idea of Season-1 having a pre-intro teaser.
    Season-2's went right into the intro.

    Also, season-1's theme song was more fun

        Well if you guys think Season-2's intro is bad.......

        Check out the Japanese version of Season-1's...

            The Japanese did come up with one of the best opening theme songs ever...Star Blazers aka Battleship Yamato:

            YouTube - Star blazers, Final Yamato End / Yamato'83

            I get goose bumps everytime I hear it, lol.

              Season 1 by far.The only problem is with the porn type music,I keep expecting to see Ron Jeremy pop out of there somewhere.Still a classic Intro though.

                Season 1 definately....much prefer the music and season 1 stories by a long way...it was more science based, whereas season 2 was action based ...a souped up version , if you like....not surpising as the producer was Fred Freiberger, the same guy who produced the 3rd and final season of Star Trek TOS.
                ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT British by birth....English by the grace of God. Yes Jamie...it is big isn't it....

                  Definately season 1. Even though season two's theme was good, it just can't compare to Barry Gray's one (even if it did sound like 70s porn), the man was a master composer!

                    Season 1 definitely and i don't mind the episode teasers in the intro.

                      Season One! It had great energy and drama (especially the "This Episode" scenes).

                      I've always really disliked the title sequence, theme music and soundtrack of Season Two (and many of the episodes...Blech)...I feel/felt that the music lacked the energy, excitement and drama of Year One's theme song and soundtrack. I also felt the Year Two music bordered on cheesy.

                      Dana

                      BTW...I feel the alternate Year Two themes are just as bad...

                          No question, season 1 That beginning gave me chills. Season 2 intro is just there.
