Did anyone ever notice . . . .


All the main characters have biblical names, presumably in reference to the original ark story, but the character named Adam, presumably after the first man, is a monkey? Subtle way to raise their middle finger at creationists?

reply

Quite probably intentional.

Did anyone also notice the "applause" button on the dashboard of the Roamer vehicle?

reply

I just had a look five seconds ago. I never noticed it before. Nice catch.

DVD..... I have the set including this Space Academy, and Jason Of Star Command

Not to mention this was the "Ark II", supposedly to help out humanity, just like the original biblical Ark was to help out humanity/all the earth's creatures by having two of each species.
