Ahhh...that Condor Joe certainly falls quickly for a pretty face...I'll begin with the most famous/infamous love interest from the original series...Lucy. Little did Joe know, that the spunky, self-assured blond was actually a cyborg being controlled by Galactor. He was heart-broken when he found out...the hard way...

Another love interest was Maya...the "damsel in distress" from the mannequin episode. Of course, she turned out to be with Galactor, too...and dead by the end of the episode...

"Doomed" Love Interests! So very true! And Lucy does deserve to begin it. I did some photoshopping yesterday.

I know there are several more love interests...but I can't find the screenies for them right now...so I'll let you guys pick up where I left off...don't forget Kathy from Gatch 2...Joe crying out and that song he sings is a real tear-jerker! Bwahahahahaha... "KASHIIIII!"

OMG!! LB, that is FABULOUS!! You've got them all!!!

Hee, I wanted to include "Anna from BC Island" in that Gatch F episode (I know, I know, she was just a friend -but she did sit on his lap!) but I have yet to get screencap software, and besides -she didn't die so she doesn't really count!

Thank you Springie and LB for that. I am at LB's doomed line up.

LB, I love your photoshop of all the girls...

OMG this is so funny! poor joe, just never could get one to stay alive long enough.....

Springie, thanks for getting this thread up and the first screen shots up. LB, I'm so laughing at your Condor reunion.

It must be so hard for him to keep track of them all... i mean he did have an overnight stay with Lucy in a tent during the race. I bet some Condor action happened in there! I think it would scary to be his girl, I mean they just all get killed of by the end of the ep. Maybe jun keeps her distance from him for a reason LOL (At least not all of the Eagles love interests get killed off.)

But this does raise the eternal question of "What if it's worth it?" I had great fun assembling them all, but some were certainly easier to find images of than others! I feel bad for Maya, that she's so "low res" compared to the other girls, but it was the best I could do!

Has anyone noticed the image of Joe on the Imaging Screen(TV) in the background?

I did! LB your Condor girlfriend reunion was hiliarious!

I saw that!! great detail and of course Joe in bed even better... He'd be worth it...but I have one request if I must die by the end of the ep to be a Condor girl... Then its in his arms with his being all angsty and declaring me the love of his life. Then he kisses me taking my last breath with his lips pressed firmly against mine......sigh wistfully...

Sorry, Ebony! I tried in Memoirs of a Geisha, but Joe got there after you had already died... Oh, did I say *you*? Um, I meant a totally different person who was a fictional character named Ebony...

Thanks so much Springie for getting this up and getting started! I was in putting-the-house-on-the-market-Hell yesterday and never even made it to this site. I didn't even get to watch Gatchapin! LB, I am LOVING your cartoon! It rocks! And it so succinctly describes everything going on for poor Joe! And yes, I did notice your favorite picture of Joe there on the TV in the background. Hmmm.... that wasn't your living room, was it?

I figured that if such a reunion occurred, they'd occupy themselves watching all the most Joe-centric Gatchaman episodes, trying to one-up each other, "comparing notes" etc.

He'd be worth it...but I have one request if I must die by the end of the ep to be a Condor girl... Then its in his arms with his being all angsty and declaring me the love of his life. Then he kisses me taking my last breath with his lips pressed firmly against mine......sigh wistfully...

Swoon!

Dreamy---he revenged my death....ahhh the character Ebony's death... I can live with an angsty grieving Condor.

But that's the point... you're not living...

Hi all! You know, throughout all of this, you all seem to be forgetting one character that, while not a romantic interest, was definitely very important to Joe. This was a character for whom he was willing to disregard all personal safety for and for whom he sustained serious injury to protect. It is a character that could easily be called Joe's best friend. How could you possibly forget... ...the puppy. James

Oh, you're right! We shouldn't overlook the puppy as a "love interest" here. Although the puppy did survive, apparently not being "doomed" (but the puppy was never seen again, so who knows...)

But the puppy got bigger and grew into a massive dog mecha.... Glad to see you are enjoying these Honorees of the Week, James!

I was reading about the single woman who had eight babies via IVF.... and then suddenly the image of a Condor going into panic overdrive when he begins to wonder if it was HIS sperm donation that caused it to happen. He had a weak moment just under a year before and decided to donate sperm.... Then a news report comes on that she wants to track down the 'father' of her babies, she's got Private detective on it. "I'm sure I signed the paperwork say I wanted to anonymous, but then sh*t I was called out to a mission right in the middle of reading the fine print..." A wide eyed Condor starts thinking about fleeing Utoland...

Yes the Condors puppy, i can't remember what happened to it...did the puppy die too by the end of the ep????

Nope. It was happy and drooling all over Nambu's lap.

Thats right, its been ages since I watched that EP... I wonder what happened to the puppy after that. Did the Condor get upset when the puppy ended up at the pound...

In honor of the Condor's love interests, Sosai X made this picture for us:

Thats a good one... How about The G-2. Doesn't Joe love his racing cars..

She's not on the offical list, but there was more indications in Gatchaman 2 Do think he'd like this one of the Swan?

She's blonde, she's Gallactor and she would kill to get Joe: Yes, Berg Katse. I know Joe and Katse weren't lovers (except in Alara Rogersl fanfics), but they had a special (hate-hate) relationship.

Isn't intense love just on the flip side of intense hate? Maybe alara was on to something? My money is still on the puppy or the car for most potential for a long term relationship.

Come to think, the puppy was the only one Joe nearly died for! With the girls it was the other way round!

And, she dies in episode 105 -yes, she fits right in here!
