Eagles versus Enterprise

I just learned today that the complete series "Space 1999" alias "Moonbase Alpha One has been released on DVD, in four separate parts, and available as a complete package of 16 DVDs as well. That brings back a lot of childhood memories! I loved those Eagles, not one episode without at least one of them going up in a huge explosion

Not more and not less absurd than the classical Star Trek, but most of the actors were acting a bit too "cold". But the setting of the series was sexy, and as a very young boy I liked it more than Star Trek, which did not raise in my sympathy before I became a bit older.

What do you think?

I also never saw a single episode in original English language, so I do not know how careful the synchronization has been done back then. For Star Trek, the German version, following a trend in German TV in the 70s, was not copying the original' sober and sometimes military tone, but added a lot of humour and "flapsige Sprüche" (wisecracks? cheeky talking?) to it, far more than in the Aerican original. Anybody knowing how Alpha-1 compares in this regard?
