Wow, this place is wonderful! I grew up loving Battle of the planets, but even though I loved the show, the story wasn't satisfying and I could never really get my head around what was going on, now I know why!

I'm really enjoying reading through the Gatchaman/BotP episode recaps, thank you so much for putting those together. Never noticed how badly drawn Mark and Princess were, I guess I just imagined my way through those constipated ready room scenes : )

I'm definitely an Eagle and loved the whole (confusing!) BotP Red Impulse story arc. I also secretly imagined that Zoltar was Mark's mother, lol : )

Looking forward to exploring more!

Welcome Crescent Moon. It has been a while since we have had a new face here.

Pull up a bar stool and join the crowd. We have a lot of Eagle people here and most of them, like you, came to this series because of a love of BOTP. I know I did.

Hi Crescent Moon! Like you, I started watching BOTP and loved the whole RI/Cronus arc too.

Hope you have fun in your wanders around here! There's plenty to enjoy!

Zoltar as Mark's mother? I smell a fic!

A big welcome Crescent Moon! It's so nice to see another Eagle around!

Yes ... the episode recaps are a great source of knowledge for whom might wish to get more accustomed with a certain universe! For me, they work the other way round ... I grew up watching Gatchaman, and now I'm learning more about BotP! I'll never stop thanking those who have spent a lot of their time in writing them, and providing the great, accompanying screencaps!

Please, do not hesitate to join in our conversations!

Hi Crescent Moon! I was also obsessed with BOTP as a kid, then slowly drifted away after it was cancelled, then rediscovered it (and discovered Gatchaman) as an adult. I love the idea of Zoltar being Mark's mother! When I was a kid we were all convinced that Zoltar was a woman because of the lips and the long blonde hair. If you'd told me that as a kid, I probably wold have believed it!

Hi Crescent Moon! I loved B of the P's growing up and obscessed about it all the time as a teenager. I too found out about Gatchaman when I was in my 20's thanks to a friend of mine. She also got me involved in Bird Scramble in the 80's. I've met so many wonderful people thru this fandom. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun here. Animeparty Animeclap
Love you idea of Zoltar being Mark's mother, like UW I think it would be great to see a fic about it too. Wink Welcome! Animehello

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Transmute Jun: at some point I became convinced that Zoltar was a woman, it was probably the lips as I don't remember ever seeing the blonde hair episode.

I've started reading some of the fics too, not something I've gotten into before, but damn, they're addictive, and a lot of fun!

I'd love to see a fic written on Zoltar as Mark's mother too, I might give it a go myself, but I can't for the life of me see how it would work.. Maybe both her and Red Impulse took a Galactor parenting class.. Hmmmm ; )

Do you remember an episode in which Keyop went chasing the Abominable Snowman?

At the end of that, the team has Zoltar cornered, and the Luminous One bursts in on the scene. Depending on the syndicated station, this moment might or might not have been broadcast. After that, G-Force is talking about a glance of long blond hair and there's some talk of Zoltar possibly being a woman.

(If you've watched Gatchaman, you know why the Purple One has the lips and great hair.)

I should have said that I don't remember seeing that episode as a kid. I've seen it now though. I'm still working my way through Gatchaman, almost at the end!

That's what really pulled me into the fandom, after I discovered Gatchaman and started watching all the ADV dvds in late 2006 -the fics and the fan art. Don't be surprised if you find yourself writing or drawing! It is addictive...

That is what pulled me in as well. There are a lot of good fics out there. Then when I found this board, I discovered I was chatting to some of my favourite fic authors and have remained eve since.

Enjoy your reading and viewing.

Welcome Cresent Moon.... I know at the BOTP Mailing list I had a poll to see how many thought Zoltar was Marks mom... glad to see others think the same things. LOL
