I was hoping the last episode would continue from last weeks episode where the Mysterons base was "destroyed",but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Good episode though. Its sad to see it finish - overall its been extremely good, even though some of the animation has, on occasion, been rather ropey.
I really enjoyed this episode, there were a few things I could gripe about, one being, how come Brock didn't hear Scarlet when he jumped on his carriage at the fairground! but still, it was really nice to see Elaine (Captain Ochre) take "center-stage", I always thought she was a good character,(very sexy too! that uniform! haha, I thought she was better and sexier than Destiny)
It's a shame that this "might" be the last episode, we see from this great series, I think Gerry and the Gang did an amazing job. I really grew to love the show and it's characters, I even grew to like Captain Blue because at 1st I couldn't take to him! haha (I thought that Ed bishop's Blue was better) but I grew to like his corny "Gung-hoe" lines which I think it was done intentionally. ie Scarlet:"Nice job on the wall" Blue:"It got in my way!" I love that line haha
I can't wait for the 2nd series to be on DVD (I hope they will issue them as I hear the 1st series DVD's aren't selling as well as they hoped) I think that ITV has made a big mistake in not promoting this properly, I wrote to them about that, which is something I have never done before, wriiten to a TV company about a show! but it could've been very big for them! If it was on Sky, they would've made it into a hit!
I just hope that Gerry can sell it to the Americans, then we'll maybe get to see more of this great show.
Ps.I Thought Wayne Forester's "Scarlet" and Nigel Plaskitt's "Black" was "Spot-on" and amazing!! Great voice acting!
Both episodes were excellent. I agree that Captain Ochre is a far better character than Destiny, who is just whiny and annoying by comparison. She doesn't waste her time with silly love triangles, she just picks fights with lowlife thugs (from 'planet stupid') and kicks ass. Brilliant. Not sure if Colonel White will be as thrilled though...she got the raid bike back, but managed to destroy a Cheetah and a Rhino in the process! I guess Gerry still has a chip on his shoulder about women drivers!
I liked how the ending of 'Dominion' was left a bit vauge and open-ended: always the best thing to do if it is unknown whether the series will continue or not. I would have been disappointed if Scarlet actually had succeeded in destroying the Mysterons, because what has always made them so threatning is their invincibilty and relentlessness. Shame that the renegade Mysteron faction wasn't worked into the story though.
You're so "bang on" about Destiny being whinny & annoying!! and whilst I thought it was a great idea having that love triangle, she did iritate me a bit. Where as Captain Ochre had a great sense of humour(I liked it when she takes the "mick" out of Captain Magenta when he fails to chat up a female Sentor in "Virus"...I think that was the episode) she could take care of herself and she was "one of the boys" haha ,that "planet stupid" line made me laugh as well.
But this just goes to prove what I said earlier, that we grew to really like these characters which helps to make something like this a hit show! I really, really hope, that this isn't the end of this great series.
Oh! special credit should go to Phil Ford for his scripts, even though he had this thing about viruses, they really worked! he didn't dumb things down because it was animated show.
Stop with all the Destiny bashing! She is great! How was she wingy and annoying? Just becuase her boyfriend died and was Mysteronised, and her other interest, Scarlet, was mysteronised. I think she handled that pretty well actually.
I don't think Ochre was a great as everyone thinks. She didn't seem to have much perosnality at all.....
