Yeah, that threw me off too. I was wondering if I was seeing *discreet cough* double!

It just doesn't seem like BOTP if 'humanoid-manned ships met destruction', does it?
Yet Zoltar escapes...

How would Zoltar take the phrase "he will be small"?
Me wonders...

For some reason, what really cracks me up is the oh-so-low-tech solution for dealing with the double -they tie a bag over his head. Or maybe I'm just wishing they'd inflict that indignity on the real Zark.
Posted by Transmute Jun on 09-09-2012 at 19:05:
I seem to recall that 'bag over the head' thing was really popular in 1970s sitcoms and cartoons...

...Or maybe Keyop was just getting it ready for the next Center Neptune garage sale -- all he'd have to do is slap a tag on it that says, "Mystery Grab Bag -- $1.00".
...Or maybe they wanted to see if the fake Zark could do the trick I saw several guys do when I was in college: stretch a condom over his head and inflate it with his nose!

Blistering... Uranus...? Ouch...?
But nevermind. I just have to wonder. Who in the world talks like that. Is it that age? Is it the writers? I mean phrases like 'action stations into the Phoenix' or 'sheep caught unawares by ravening wolves'. That just sounds so... embarrassing. It's not something I'd ever say out loud to my friends (or anyone else). IMO Zoltar should get a pet Persian cat and Mark should prance around in a suit. Everyone's a walking cliché.

It's strictly the writers -- nobody ever talked like that! But it was common in the early super hero comic books, though I have no idea why they thought using over-the-top corny phrases enhanced the character....
...I do recommend watching the "Batman" tv series from the 1960's. They lay on this type of dialogue pretty thick (as well as a good number of other well-worn comic book and superhero movie traditions), but it's all done as a joke.

Well, it's obviously the Galaxy Express 999. Now all it needs is a person with long, blond hair to play the part of Maetel and it'll be perfect.

Well, that sounds better than my first thought -- that somebody had slipped something funny in their spaceburgers!

Jinpei would make a fine Tetsuro, IMO. And Joe could be Captain Harlock.

Oooooh! I can so see Joe wearing that eye patch, and with that scar on his face! Now that I'm thinking, I can really see hints of similarity between him and Captain Harlock! ... both in aspect and in character! As to Jinpei being the second Tetsuro ... well, the rounded eyes are there and so is the age!

I honestly have trouble with the dialogue in this one!
Is " it's got about those in the history books" a real sentence?
My second thought was, it could be the start of a BOTP - Harry Potter crossover, since they've got the Hogwarts Express!
