Another large gap between episodes and another hefty post. I really need to keep the ball rolling this time, and to learn to not type so much…

This episode stayed pretty serious for the most part. It didn’t have many unintentionally humorous lines. That lengthy tank battle at the beginning was excellent. More crazy-awesome 70’s explosions, and we finally got to see the Marines put their money where there mouth’s were and show that they’re more than just rude, womanizing slobs.

So, apparently all the enemies that the Marines were fighting were “robots.” I assume that was a change made to the dub script?

But then after she arrests him she goes straight to Zordar and says they need to find someone to defeat the Star Force. I don’t really see the logic there. Desslock was already going that, so shouldn’t she have just waited to see if he succeeded or not first before having him apprehended? I guess she just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible?

I don’t believe I brought this up in any of my previous posts, but Treleina’s voice is… odd. Not that the voice actress wasn’t a good fit per se, but the almost singy, high-pitched way they had her talk is pretty weird. I imagine it sounded fine back in the 80’s, but in 2014 certain lines of hers sound almost comical.

And to top it off, Treleina goes all Moses on us when she parts the lake with a wave of her hand 😆

My favorite quote of the episode, and unlike most of the ones I tend to post about, one that was actually SUPPOSED to be funny 😉

*wrapping up a radio conversation on the Argo’s bridge*

Treleina: “Thank you Mark Venture. I hope you will be coming too.”

Venture: “Oh, yes! Of course! Just as soon as I can.”

Treleina: “Then I will see you very soon Mark Venture.”

Homer: “Wait ’till she sees Venture. She might change her mind.”

Venture: “Wiseguy…”

This one comes in 2nd:

Nova: ” I hope Derek won’t forget to give the flowers to Treleina.”

Dr. Sane: “Don’t count on it Nova. You know that he has a lot of things on his mind these days.”

Nova: “He never forgets anything I ask him to do Dr. Sane.”

Dr Sane: *quick response* “Then you’ve got nothing to worry about Nova.”

Its hard to convey though a forum post, as it was mostly the quick timing of Dr. Sane’s response that made the line funny, since he just got done telling her mere seconds earlier that Wildstar probably wouldn’t remember her request.

First Tenchi related thing I’ve drawn in a long while…
