(1966) “The Uncanny Robot“
Last episode, the Terrans captured a Tefroder ship that had been damaged in battle, and also met a new ally, a psychic robot named -- I kid not -- “Lucky Log.“ As Perry and crew move the ship to safe place for further investigation, they get caught up by an automatic wreck-collection system that transports them into Andromeda's forbidden zone. This one is packed with action and incident and does not disappoint.
Bookwomble Ok, the robot called Lucky Log is definitely a thing, but can we talk about the giant space mouse for a moment!? 😂 2w
swynn @Bookwomble Sure! That's Gucky the Mouse-beaver. Technically, his species was eventually called “Ilt“ -- that's I as in India, l as in Lima, tee -- but the text continues to call him a “Mausbiber.“ He was introduced way back in episode #18, and has been a series regular ever since. He is a telepath and telekinetic. He's also a trickster character and often provides comic relief. 2w
Bookwomble So, now I want a crossover movie of Gucky the Mausbiber and Rocket Raccoon! Naturally, they'll start with a misunderstanding and be antagonists, gradually realise that they're both on the same side and team up to defeat the villain, wise cracking as they go. Now, who would make a good villain for them! 🤔😁 2w
swynn @Bookwomble Nobody less powerful than Galactus, of course. 😆 2w
