Hi all! Over the run of the series, we got to meet dozens of interesting guest characters who only appeared once. Are there any that you would have liked to see turn up again in another episode? Don't let minor details like a character still being alive hamper your choices. Feel free to pick among those who did survive their initial appearance and therefore could have turned up again, as well as those who didn't make it through their episode intact, but you wish had lived so they could have returned! James

In Battle of the Planets, I really loved the introduction of Don Wade. It's something that if they did a remake and kept close enough to have an episode with him, I'd hope they'd expand on him throughout the series.

I know Springie is going to say Koji!!!!! I would have liked to see more of Lucy, especially in a flashback, so we could understand how she and Joe knew each other before. I would like to have seen more of Mako and Getz (the real Getz, not the imposter) in Gatchaman II. James, which character would *you* have liked to see more of?

I agree that I would have liked to have seen more of Mako and Getz (yes the real one!). LOL.

Ah, my first choice would be Lucy, for much the same reason TJ stated, basically how did they know each other before we see her on screen. it would be nice to get some of their backstory.

Yup, Lucy, but also Amanda (wasn't she Mark's possible would-be love interest?).

Oooh, that was Rumi in the Gatch version. Yeah she'd be interesting to see. And what about Maria, Jinpei's love interest?

I would have liked to see Lucy again, too.

Hola! In my opinion, I think Koji is a very interesting character, especially before he joined Galactor troops. Also, I can't remember his name, the general that came up like the Red Baron in the plane with the skull mask. He was the only one who wasn't killed and clever enough to give a good challenge to Gatchaman!

In Gatchaman, that was Katse. In BoTP, his name was Captain Doom, and you're right, he lived to see another day. But we never heard from him again.

...And it's Captain Dooooooooom in my episode rewrite!

TJ, you know me so well! Koji was the first to enter my mind. How did he and Jun meet? And why was she hanging around with/ flirting with an "older man" at 14? And was she already with the team then? Anyway...I also am curious about Dr. Demon and his connection with Nambu (and I have to admit LB's very plausible fic about Jun's parents/Dr. Demon/Nambu was what really made me think about it). Don Wade's backstory would be interesting, too. And Lucy... Hmmm...and I can't think of her name right now, but the poor girl in the "mannequin" episode that was forced to be in Galactor but wanted to get out...another Joe "love interest"...her name starts with M, I think...

She was Maya in Gatchaman, or Tyna in BotP, and yeah, Joe/Jason was interested in her.

Thank you, KT! Maya was the name I couldn't think of... my brain is a bit fuzzy today... working all the time isn't so great for the memory!

I'd like to know how (or if?) Kena adjusted after Ken left. (Also, my nit-picky side demands to know how she and Ken could ride that one llama without snapping its back!)

Silly question: who is Koji in BoTP? (DT runs to hide, ashamed of her ignorance)

DT, The Bird Missile of Bitterness (episode 56) is one of the 20 episodes that wasn't turned into a BotP episode, so your ignorance is forgiven (at least by me anyway )

Hola TJ, Was he Katse????!!!! Wow! I would had never thought so! I still remember him clearly from BOTP when I was little because it has such a scary face and dark personality. In Gartchaman I think it has a darker character. It would had been nice to see him again...what a waste of such a good personage!

Hola EW, Where do I can read it? Would like to read about this character again!

Originally posted by Daniella T Silly question: who is Koji in BoTP? (DT runs to hide, ashamed of her ignorance)

No worries! It would have been interesting to have seen that episode done for BOTP, but they would have had to cut so much of it out! I'm afraid it would have been the "Zark episode" *shudder*... I've often thought about trying to tackle writing that one for BOTP...but it's hard for me to think how to get around all of the killing/ slapping.

Yeah, that would be interesting. She fell for him so fast (but then again, I can't say I blame her). I can't help but to wonder why Ken didn't completely freak out over what he had done when he lost his memory after he came to. I also wonder if he still felt feelings for her after he came to or if he just felt sorry for her (that he led her on). I'd also like to see Jun's reaction to all of that! It's a good thing Joe went after Ken to wake him up and not Jun!
