You're right! I almost forgot about that! Except they were brainwashed or something, by their helmets...

I don't think we ever saw an ordinary goon who wanted to leave. Granted, if any tried, they were probably about as successful as Joe's parents and doomed female love-interests!

Well, there was the guy who became 'G6' for an episode. He wanted to leave Galactor. And I know there were a few other people who snuck out of Galactor with secret documents... usually to be killed quickly.

Ah, I guess I missed out then. If I ever get back there, I will check it out. The day that I could have gone there, I opted instead to go to the Muir Woods and look at giant redwood trees.

Those redwood trees are awesome! I had the privilege to visit those woods also! Well we couldn't miss a thing after travelling so far away from our country! It was a lovely experience and I encourage you to visit Alcatraz some day cause it's surely worth visiting and the view of San Francisco from there is breathtaking!

Gatchamarie, I have to agree the best part of Alcatraz is the view and the trip to and from. The some of most interesting parts of the prison aren't shown on the traditional tours (I really wanted to see evidence of the Native American protest and the supposed damage, but it was barely touched on). It is well worth the trip, but if you are more of a nature buff than a history or prison buff, then I'd recommend Angel Island.

Also, I'm wondering how Jun would have done in her shot at piloting if she had to do something other than keep the GP in the air. The plot was more focused on what was going on inside the mecha than GP. I'm wondering if maybe Jinpie was teasing her while we were watching the others get tossed around.

Actually, Jun also had to fly the God Phoenix underneath the wing of the mecha and hide beneath it while landing. I'd say that tales some piloting talent! My husband (who is a licensed pilot) always says that landing is by far the most difficult part of flying, with the most potential for error.

Yes, they really do stick it to Ken in this episode, don't they? Now, in episode 26, I can buy that Joe might not be a great God Phoenix pilot, as race cars are his specialty, but Ken is a skilled pilot! Yes, the God Phoenix is a lot bigger than his G-1, but still...

But it had all of those unwieldy extra pieces on it, which made it difficult to fly. Wink

That is what I was trying to say, just in a lot more words.

Heh, I'd like to think she has no interest in an actual Galactor captain, but I think a darker, edgier look for Ken would be hot, and I could well believe that Jun might enjoy a "slightly wicked" Ken...

Oh my... now there's a fic idea.... Devil1

Question is who will write it hmm?

I think this is another one that will end up out of order when I reach the BotP episode.

I do like how Ken looks in those pants. Ken as Condor. :evilgrin:

G-1 would have had to train in flying the Phoenix before the team went on duty, and he -and everyone else- probably does enough training to 'keep their hand in', but when you add together a plane that's not his primary vehicle, the cruddy aerodynamics of the camouflage, and that the Eagle usually sits in the co-pilot's chair, not the pilot's, it adds up to a potential mess.

In the early 1970's, capital punishment was banned in the United States (for a few years). Books referring to the ban often interchange 'abolish' and 'moratorium'. (Authors who need to learn dictionaries are useful.) This might explain the inconsistencies over the differeing episodes of Gatch: If the matter of the death penalty is still being fought out in the world courts of Utoland's world, it could be that the Jinjin prisoners could be sent to the chair if the decision is eventually decided to revive the death penalty
