Battle Satellite
Oh, so the planet has been called Telezart all along. Wow. I never thought I'd be so dependent on subtitles.
The Earth Defense Force are notified of the mass desertion of the ex-Star Force Members. They monitor the crew of the Argo remanning the Argo. They decide it's mutiny, and order the Star Force to return to their assigned posts. BTW, the Star Force are back in their first season uniforms.
On the Argo's bridge, Wildstar appeals to the memory of Avatar. Orion isn't ready to take off, but Wildstar orders them to launch anyway. Wildstar and Sandor discuss the impending retaliation from EDHQ. Then Homer reports that they're calling for Wildstar right now. They put the commander of the EDF on-screen, who orders them to return to their posts. Wildstar refuses. General Stone initially gave them thirty minutes to decide, but then wants to override the locks that allow them to launch.
Mark Venture is at home, still brooding, when Jordy comes home. Venture leaves for a walk rather than play ball with Jordy. Venture calls Dr. Sane. Whatever Venture says causes Sane to freak out. He takes the cat and starts to leave, but Nova knows what's happening, and insists on going. Even though SHE'S JUST A GIRL. BLEAUGH.
Wildstar addresses the crew and reminds them that they are all volunteers and if they decide to stay on Earth, it's their decision. Sandor tells him that Venture hasn't arrived. Wildstar decides they have no choice but to leave without them. General Stone tries to prevent them from launching rather than reasoning with them. Eager and Dash are concerned that the locks are closing, but Wildstar is unworried.
Venture, Sane and Nova meet at Avatar's statue/ Venture voices his doubts. Sane, his cat, and Nova are going despite the risks.
The Argo is preparing to launch. Wildstar is in the pilot's seat when IQ 9 tells him Venture asn't arrived. He orders the gangway retracted. Orion releases water into the launching dock. The EDF commander calls him again, and warns him that they'll be mutineers. Wildstar reaffirms their commitment to leave. The Argo is fully submerged, and Wildstar orders the launch. Then, a hand closes over Wildstar's on the flight controls. It's Venture. Venture increases engine power and they take off.
General Stone orders missiles fired, though the commander argues they only want to prevent them from launching, not destroy them. Unfused missiles are launched. Eager warns them, and Wildstar has torpedoes launched to intercept them. One missile gets through and fastens to the Argo, followed by another. Sandor surmises they're only trying to weigh them down so they can't launch.
Orion activates the wave motion engine. Sandor asks Venture for maximum engine output to shake off the missiles. The ship surfaces and the manget missiles drop off. As the ship moves through the atmosphere, two fighters barnstorm them. One clips its wing on the Argo's conning tower.
General Stone decides they'lve let the Star Force get away with too much. He activates the battle satellites.
Eager picks up the satellite. Sandor advises Wildstar that it's gone active. Wildstar aims the shock cannons at the satellite as it charges up. It fires, and Venture evades the beam. IQ 9 says he helped design that satellite. Wildstar fires, destroying the satellite. The commander tells General Stone to let the Star Force get away. General Stone orders Gideon to take the Andromeda after the Argo. The EDF commander, privately, says to himself that the Star Force has his blessing in their mission.
The Comet Empire's generals are apprised of the launch of the Star Force. Zordar orders them to stay on plan.
The Argo is now space-bound, and Venture hopes they're doing the right thing.

Test Warp to Mars
Test Warp to Mars
You'd expect an alien bit of technology shoehorned into an earth vessel would require some testing, right?
Desslok is reclining in the Gamilon capital with his harem. He decides to let the guys stuck on Pluto deal with the Star Force.
Meanwhile, the Argo is traveling outside of Earth's gravity well. They retract the wings and ignite the reaction engines. The bridge crew takes a moment to gaze at the radiation-ravaged Earth. Avatar orders the staff officers to assemble. They're planning a test of the wave motion engine. Sander explains to us how the wave motion engine works. And it actually sorta makes sense. I mean, if time has particles that travel in waves like light. I'm no astrophysicist or nothing, I'm just a simple man. But their explanation doesn't make me want to throw things.
The Pluto base plans to destroy the Argo. They launch another carrier.
Nova is in the engine room watching, uhhh, numbers on a screen. She advises Avatar that the best place for the warp is between Earth and Mars--erm, isn't that, like, most of the solar system's entire area?! Venture is nervous about the procedure.
Dr. Zane is drunk. IQ 9 wakes him up. IQ 9 says the space warp is more exciting than any dreams.
Nova detects the Gamilon carrier. Wildstar volunteers to take the Black Tiger squadron out. Avatar agrees, but they have to be back before the jump. The fighters launch, and the Gamilon carrier sees them and launches fighters of their own. An epic WWII-style dogfight ensues. The carrier plans to use missiles and torpeddoes.
That shot of five black tigers in formation looks an awful like the Galaxy Garrison fighter formation shot they used a lot in Dairugger . . .
Wildstar goes to intercept missiles heading for the Argo, which is defenseless before a jump. He succeeds in intercepting one missile, but almost crashes into the Argo. Meanwhile, Conroy is hit while engaging a Gamilon fighter. And the battle rages on. Avatar orders the fighters recalled. Avatar plans to have the space warp engaged before the Gamilon carrier is with gun range. One Black Tiger plane is missing.
Wildstar urges Avatar to wait for Conroy. His damaged plane is limping towards the Argo. With 8-0 seconds to the space warp, Conroy is losing power. Wildstar puts his helmet on and rushes to the bay, guiding Conroy in verbally. He crashes his ship in. Wildstar pulls him out of his smouldering fighter and he tells Avatar they're ready.
Venture angsts over the warp jump. The Gamilon carrier comes within range and opens missile ports. The missiles are launched . . . and Avatar orders the warp . . . They watch the missiles close in, and the warp effects somewhat resemble the Macross space fold effects. Let's hope they warp to the right place, though.
Apparently, the wave motion engine cuts through all kinds of crazy shortcuts in the past. Oh, those trippy 70s. They emerge from the warp. The crew is unconscious. They come to and see Mars. Whew. Not Pluto or something (I was a little worrried). At least they didn't take a city with them. Venture is the last to awaken. And he totally overestimates the distance to Mars. Avatar sees damage incurred to the ship, and orders them to land on Mars.
Desslok receives a report from Ganz on the Pluto base. He's still so smug.
The Argo descends to Mars through a snowstorm. The crew marvels at the weather, which the ravaged Earth no longer gets. Sandor is in charge of repairs. The rest of the crew plays in the snow and IQ 9 is having some fun. Avatar looks back at the Argo's bridge tower, near a rent in the hull.
362 days are left.

The Missing Key/Resurrection of the Legendary Giant
We see Voltron/Golion in action for the first time in this episode. About frackin' time!!
Actually, I like the way the original writers handled this. It's different from just about evey other super robot series from the same era, the fact that they waited until the fourth episode to actually reveal the titular robot.
The Missing Key
We open with Zarkon ranting about the failures of Yurak and the Robeast to capture the Voltron force. Again, this seen serves as a recap. Interesting that they discontinued using the original pre-titlecard recaps after doing once in the second episode. Also, how does Zarkon know the Voltron force is still kicking? As far as anyone knows, the Robeast finished them. Then they all sank in the, um, quicksand.
A quick cut to the castle of lions and Coran and Allura, and they know less about the fate of the Voltron force that Zarkon and Haggar. Aaand we cut to Galaxy Garrison. Hello, Space Marshall Graham. I thought maybe the further you get from the Voltron force, the more you know about them, but, no, Galaxy Garrison knows as little as Allura and Coran.
Now we return to Pidge and some Arusian survivor leading him back to the castle. Will people please stop calling him "the small one?" He's got a name!!!! He sees the space mice--oooh, mousetastic foreshadowing. Pidge refuses to believe the rest of the team is lost. I mean, it's just the fourth episode? Spirits are bouyed when they . . . hear Hunk snoring over the radio. Huh. At least he's not talking in his sleep about Space Burgers.
Clearly, Pidge's voice is annoying enough to jar them back into consciousness. The four lions dig themselves out of the mud and fly back to the castle. Errr. Aren't they close enough to Yurak's position that he can see/detect/pick them up on DRADIS?
When the team gets back to the castle, we see that they reenter the control room from the elevator tower. Huh. So it's a two-way delivery system. And the doors to each lion form a five-pointed star. BURN THEM!! THEY'RE WITCHES!!!
They return to the tomb, set on finding the fifth key. Instead, they discover that space mice can chew through rock. Pidge calls them his friends. So he promptly leads the rest for find and trap the mice. So they can interrogate them. Yes, this is sooo much more serious and awesomer than Vehicle Voltron with its searching space for planets, blah blah blah.
We see pretty clearly that there's only four mice, a pink adult, a blue adult, and two blue mouselings. The American writers can't seem to keep track of them. Just watch. And, conveniently, Allura as a child was lonely because her parents were so busy. Not because they were, um, DEAD.
Wait, I said I wasn't going to focus on that stuff. So, I lied. Take a cab, Nancy.
Allura says "Inky, Toady?" Are those names, or an ill-conceived attempt at mouse-talk?
God, I haven't complained about Sven's "Swedish by way of Goa" lilt until now, but seriously. They take the character with black hair, dressed in a Japanese school uniform, and decide he's Swedish?
Yurak's Black Army fighters return to attacking the desert. This time, at least they're caving in the Arusian refuges. Taking a page from the Harkonnens? (It's from Dune. READ A BOOK!).
Once again, Coran tries to keep them from tryin' out the Voltron. Really? This is the best you could come up with for this scene? Keith again jumps into chute 1. As a kid, I liked the idea that the elevator tower rotated for each pilot, but, no, the background details change with each one. Oh, well.
The rocks in the reverse shot facing Hunk in his shuttle cockpit always looked like peanuts to me.
Black lion is revealed. I always dug the folding wings.
Yurak sees the lions and wakes up the Robeast. It's carrying a short sword. It was empty-handed in the last episode, wasn't it? Again, they start the attack by--headbutting the Robeast. On the second pass, they actually seem to try to grab it with their teeth. Then Keith and Lance go for a third ramming attack (definition of insanity?) and the robeat tries to puncture red lion. I like that evasive hop he does.
They finally get a clue and leap to form Voltron. The robeast launches blue fireballs out of his wrist -thingsies and knock them out of the sky the first time. On the second attempt, they outlast the fire and we hear them activating interlocks for the first time.
Yeah, this is stock footage that shows up in every episode, but . . . It was utterly different from anything else on TV in 1984. I mean, he has lion heads for hands and feet. And they all have to roar.
The look on the robeast's face is a pretty good, "Oh, shit."
He tries for a sword cut, but Voltron does a Judo throw. Huh. The Robeast is quite a bit bigger than ol' Volts. The robeast then launches four missles out of his belt boxes. Voltron stands and takes it. The robeast shoots his blue wrist fireball thingies. And Voltron stands and takes it. Then Voltron forms the blazing sword (yeeeaaah!!!), and the two charge each other.
End of Robeast.
Voltron weapon breakdown: The first time of many for the blazing sword. And that's it. Not even any lion weapons.
Robeast weapons: Blue fireballs from his bracers. Missiles from his belt pouches. And a sword. So were those sixteen-foot nipple drills just decorative? Oh well. It's the aesthetic that counts.
Resurrection of the Legendary Giant
At least the Japanese series can give us a decent pre-titlecard recap.
Daibazaal is astonished that there's anything left on Altea to resist him. Also, Jaga is prescient. So, he orders Sadak to comb the desert.
Sadak's fleet has set up a staging area with searchlights. He will commence the search operation (which will undoubtedly consist of shooting at rocks) at dawn.
The caves down here are pretty elaborate, with the secret passages and all.
Suzuishi passes out when he reaches the control center, and again, we get the impression of a lot more time passing than in Voltron. In this version, it's some sort of alarm, or just the realization that the radios are on. And, Suzuishi "spends all night" yelling at them on the radio. Well, at least the guys got a good night's rest. As Seido says when he regains consciousness. And Kurogane managed to land upside down.
If you pay attention to the elevator tower, Suzuishi is right over the #1 chute, but in the overhead shot, it looks like Shirogane comes out of the chute directly under him. Hey, how can I help it? I'm pedantic.
In the tomb, things go pretty much the way it did in Voltron. Yep. Space mine. At least he doesn't call them his "friends." I've had people who called me their friend, then set traps for me. I don't hang around them much anymore. The bastards. And, this time, Fala mentions her dead family. Not "away on royal business." And the adult mice are named Platte and Chuchule.
Also--what is up with the Japanese and the Can-Can? Is it just their Gallophilia in general? I mean, really. I can't even think of other anime series where the Can-Can comes up, but I know this isn't the only one, or I wouldn't remember it.
To their credit, the Golion team thanks the mice, rather than, I dunno, being mean at them for having stole it. Daibazaal would've et 'em.
Is that just a stylized shot, or do the lower guns of the Galra fighters swivel? It would be convenient.
Oof! A little girl gets squarshed by falling rock when Galra attacks the caves. I missed that when I first watched this version. Her doll survives. It's no surprise that a country that lived through Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have a certain talent for very quick heart-wrenching images.
Kogane rides up his chair into black lion in the open air, as he would if he were going up into the lion statue, but the view from inside the cockpit is still green lion's tree den.
The deathblack beastman in this episode doesn't have a name. Kinda sad. That was one feature I like about Golion. Naming EVERYthing. And when the lions go on their first ramming run, there's a shot from behind the beastman, and he's got some serious triceps horeshoe. A favored tactic of his seems to be to toss one lion on top of the other in an attempt to knock them unconscious.
So, in a previous post, I mentioned my friend who likes to dance to the Golion score? That cue that starts just as they're jumping off rocks in the first attempt to form Golion causes her to sing the "Mitchell" song from MST3K. Y'know: "(Mitchell) Arteries pumpin'! (Mitchell) Heart is thumpin'! (Mitchell) Keep your eyes on the sandwhiiich!!"
Spending my time with normal people would be boring.
When Golion throws the beastman, he does a pretty solid roll out of the throw. But the sound effect for his belt missiles is terrible. It sounds like a misfire.
Golion forms Juyoken for the firs time, and Kazukiko Inoue's delivery of the name needs some work. That's OK, he'll get a ton of practice. And does Kogane sound familiar to you? He's been in a TON of other series. He did someone in Naruto, but I've never seen it (I'm old. Most anime I know is from the 70s and 80s. Well, that's mostly by preference). He was a pilot in the second season of Space Battlecruiser Yamato. He was Ryukotsusei in Inu Yasha. I think I remember him the most, right now anyway, as Jerid from Zeta Gundam--seeings as he was basically the main rival to our hero, Kamille. Right from the first episode. Because he accused Kamille of having a girly name. What a prick. He probably sets traps for his "friends," too.
