So, I've been watching this old German science fiction show called Raumpatrouille Orion. It's basically original Star Trek except with slightly better special effects and more emphasis (so far, anyway) on earth-defense than on space exploration. The dialogue's campy, the acting's okay, and the plots are a little haphazard (probably made more so by my iffy comprehension). But. But the vision of the future is amazing.

In the first episode, the team is at a bar, or something. And what follows is, well. Indescribable. So I'm not going to try. (No German required for the video, fyi.)





Yeah. I've watched this scene about five times now, and I still don't know what the guys in the foreground are saying because I keep getting distracted. Fish! Elbow waggling! What.

Ahahahaha, oh man, I was so distracted by the fish I didn't even notice the dancing at first. Then I was too distracted by the dancing to pay attention to the conversation (but in the Star Trek version of the future, men never hang around in bars avoiding their wives!). I've never heard of this show before, but maybe my mom knows of it or watched it.
