As if that weren’t enough Zark, we have Zark and Rover on the screen. Rover yarps, and Zark admits that it was a shame that Keyop and Nambu had to part. He knows how he’d feel if he and Rover had to break up. [Agh! Unfortunate implication! Pass the brain bleach.] But Nambu needs room: he’ll be a huge whale some day, and how could Keyop care for him? Zark is certain they’ll meet again, and Nambu will always be a loyal member of G-Force.

[Is anyone as bothered by the end-of-episode salutes as I am? There’s another unfortunate implication to those. They’re not as ‘cute’ as the scriptwriters seemed to think.]

Fic Alert: Layout of the Early Warning System. How does it work? What regulations control its use? Do the various planets monitor themselves and send data to the EWS? Or does Zark get to spy on entire planets? Privacy and other issues galore.

Interspecies translator? That raises some interesting issues. Could Spectra be charged with attempted genocide against whales? Is it murder when a carnivore kills and eats its prey? What animal species can communicate using this device?

Is the whale calf old enough to understand?

Science question: Interspecies translator? Translation between human languages is hard enough. How would that work?

How would a ‘rocket drill’ actually function?
Some whale species are predators. Others eat krill and plankton. Losing them all could be a serious blow to the oceanic ecosystem, but would that be enough to destroy it?

Bizarreness alert: Letting two enemy agents leave, rather than capturing and confining them is pretty odd.

If Spectra intended to attack whales, then why attack the refinery at Bay City? No mention of ‘framing’ whales for the attacks, so that people would hunt them down.
