I recently rewatched an old childhood favorite show called Star Fleet and I was extremely happy going back through memory lane.
I’ve recently watched all the episodes of “Star Fleet,” a space-age action series. I’m not particularly sure if it was intended for children but I watched the show as a kid. I don’t know if anybody from the Philippines remembers this show (originally “X Bomber” in Japan) which was shown around 1991 on GMA-7 every Sunday. It was a revolutionary show in which it used marionettes for the characters as well as all the intergalactic props. I found the spaceships to be cool, shot strategically so that they looked like they were indeed flying in outer space.
Blast from the Past: Rewatching Star Fleet
Set in the year 2999, Star Fleet is set around the story of good (human beings) versus evil (aliens), in which the latter is trying to colonize galaxies and gain control of the universe in a tyrannical fashion. Of course, the humans, through the Star Fleet defense system, are trying to defend the Milky Way against the oppressors and restore balance, at least within their galaxy.

What I liked about this show is that it looked well executed. I mean, you can tell that all elements of that show are made of dolls and model structures but all elements were moving logically. It was a different kind of animation that got me hooked then and still got me hooked now.

All in all, Star Fleet has 24 episodes which I watch when I have free time, or at night before going to bed. Again, this exercise of going back through memory lane is part of my goal to relive or reminisce as many of the things that brought happiness to me as a child. I’ll continue to find these old shows, old snack items, and even old toys and share them here. I hope I can also introduce these to my children when they grow a little bigger and I wish that they, too, would find happiness in simple (even trivial) things.
