BOTP-izing

Someone in one of the Episode of the Week threads suggested we BOTP-ize the unused Gatchaman episodes.

That sounds like it could be some fun. Especially the ones that are really hard to gloss over (the flogging scene in 'The Mysterious Red Sand' comes to mind).

Then suggest where in the BOTP order it could fit.

How about it?

And, if anyone wants to, revamp a BOTP episode to either make more sense, or make Zark less --- Zarky.

Now I'd better go and complete my list, so that I know which episodes are missing.

I like this idea! But have to go and watch BotP in the production order, first.

I think this is a complete list of the Gatch episodes that weren't made into BotP for one reason or another:

13. Mystery of the Red Sand
19. Hellâ€™s Speed Race
20. A Critical Moment for the SNT
28. The Invisible Demon
29. Gallack X, Demon Man
34. Evil Aurora Operation
38. Mysterious Mechanical Jungle
50. Trachodon, Dinosaur Skeleton
56. Bitter Bird Missile
64. The Deadly Christmas Present
66. Devilâ€™s Fashion Show
78. Deadly Danger! 10,000 Meters Beneath the Sea
81. Duel on Galactor Island
82. Aim for the Crescent Coral Reef
85. That Guy is G-4
94. Electric Devil Beast Angler
102. Reverse! Checkmate X
103. G-2 Risks Death
104. Evil Great Black Hole Operation
105. Earth Vanishes! 0002

I know this is easy to find, but if we get serious about this it's nice to have them close by and isolated.

Catherine suggested a challenge 2-3 years ago in the Yahoo group to rewrite a BotP episode to have it make more sense. She did Magnetic Attraction and did a fantastic job.

There are also plenty of deleted scenes from BotP that were replaced with Zark footage that could be added back in.

I love this challenge but barely have time to finish what I've already started.

I will plug one of my fics over in Gatchfanfic - What Any Of Us Would Have Done. Its a retelling of the infamous puppy episode, but with the OAV Joe and Jason and sans the puppy.

Becky do you have a link to the thread in the Yahoo group? I looked for that challenge but couldn't find it in the files or anything.

The challenge is over at Gatchfanfic.

I had made up a list (I see some interesting differences in the translations of the titles), but couldn't get it posted before visiting Mom in the hospital (she had surgery, and she's fine, thank you for asking).

I just thought it might be fun to stretch our fic muscles.

It sounds interesting...I could see ahhh Mark ahhh not approving of a flogging and Zarks converters going into overdrive...

Now the time to actually fit it in...mmmm

I've woven a plot through eps in the series but never done a re-write.

Heh heh.... You say "BOTP" and I come a running...

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with...

As soon as I figure out a way to get some time in for fic writing again, I have my own BotP project to get started.... well, okay, it's started... but I need to get it going.

so bring it on, guys.... You've got me all excited here!!

I'll surely enjoy seeing what all of you can come up with, here!

Apart from not having so much time at hand these days, I think I'm not capable to meet such a challenge owing to the fact that I'm not so used to BOTP having almost always watched Gatchaman, Gatch II and Gatch F. I will just sit back and enjoy, knowing that I can have some good reads from many talented persons! Popcorn1

UW, I too am glad that your mother is fine now.

I shall leave it to the warped minds to come up with a BOTP of the episode revealing Katse's dual nature. (Of course, they don't actually SHOW very much, so I'm sure something suitably silly can be substituted, much as the Sandy Frank people rewrote the Snake 828 episode.)

Where shall we post them? Gatchfanfic, or ff dot net?

I think the writers who come up with something can decide where to post it.

Sorry for superseding you with the list. I used the titles that Wendy has on her site (It's the place I usually go for episode and character references); I'm not sure, but I think there may be subtle differences between the titles in the subtitled versions and the dubbed or perhaps she did her own translation, not wanting to rely on ADV.

Glad to hear your mom is doing well.

Or her work predating anything by ADV, which would be more the case in that circumstance.

I really think this would be a lot of fun, and so many episodes to choose from on the list...

I have to finish my current WIP though, (and I intend to in the next week or so) and then we shall see...

I did it! I did 'The Mysterious Red Sand' as a BOTP script (whose writer is no longer quite happy with his job). It's over at ff dot net.

Y'know, if you edit certain scenes the right way, and ignore the whip in the others....

Cool!

One thing I've learned about posting links here, sometimes the closing "[/URL]" ends up in the wrong position in the link's address, and so you have to edit the post (so that the URL symbols become visible) and then cut and paste the "[/URL] into the correct position at the end.

I just corrected it.

I even took TJ's suggestion (made in her ff dot net review) when I posted it at Gatchfanfic, and gave the red sand the applied phlebotinum name of 'seherium.'

(Really, go to tvtropes dot org. You will have a lot of fun looking for Gatch references under some of the tropes. No surprise that Ken is under the 'Chaste Hero' trope, or Joe in the 'Troubled but cute' entry. Even the big red button that fires the Bird Missiles appears -- under the trope labeled 'Big Red Button'. You should sign in, because the entries contain spoilers for things you might not watch, or explanations for things that left you wondering 'WTF?' when you did watch. And it's a lot of fun to browse through. That's where I found out about yaoi and yuri. Don't those sound like character names? 'Yaoi and Yuri' could be a series. Okay, I should really go lie down in a dark room with a cool, damp towel over my face.)
