Loved this show, had the theme song memorized, Goose was (and is) still cooler than Wolverine.

It had a lot of kid-show cheese, but it also had some pretty dark plots going on. I don't suppose any of them ever got truly resolved?

My favourite character is the talking dolphin.

Holy Guacamole!

Goose, El DeBarge, Nico and that other guy.

Don't fuck with a man's dolphins.

If I had technology to make a dolphin talk, I'd program it with a cool voice like James Earl Jones.

Surprisingly... entertaining? Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

Thanks to my BRAIN IMPLANT I can tell the future.

Fox found his family pretty quickly, and I'm glad he didn't stop shooting lasers at evil even after he did.

I see that, in the 80s, they were still wrestling with the sort of roles they could put a black man in. With "Mission: Impossible" and "Hogan's Heroes" in the 60s, they'd established the trope of the black technical specialist who followed orders and never told the white folks what to do. In the 80s, they added a touch of Eddie Murphy.

Not sure if I should make anything of the black man needing a white person to keep him from getting himself killed going after some bling.

I don't know what the cameraman did to piss Goose off, but it's a mistake he won't make twice.

The human breast faces grave dangers from beyond the stars.

I remember one scene when I was a kid. Really needs the YouTube treatment because it was unsung -nightmare fuel- for six year old me.

The Queen is shown... Well for a better term vivisecting these poor aliens who had the misfortune of being invaded by her empire. She creates these Ring Wraith type ghouls out of sucking souls out of people. But she wants to make like a really, really powerful one in this episode. The normal ghouls won't do. So they take this alien guy and shove him in a soul sucking pod. The Queen has them turn the bitch all the way up to not miss a drop of soul-y goodness. Well, that little alien inside is literally sucked dry and crumbles to fucking dust. So the Queen coldly comments she needs way better test subjects. Since these are too weak. Nothing cut away either. Suddenly cartoons got fucking real.
