I have to say, Dragos has been a little subdued and sidetracked in this season, but boy howdy, did that ever change in this episode’s opening sequence. It’s full-bore Sid Haig bellowing with fury. He doesn’t seem like an evil space baddie in a Saturday morning kids’ show at all. The only reason I wasn’t worried that he was going to backhand everybody through the cardboard sets is because nobody gets backhanded in this show, period.
Our son was under the blanket immediately. “Dragos is SO MEAN,” he yelled. “Is he the meanest villain in the whole universe,” I asked, and he firmly shouted “YEAH!” Then Dragos activates a “star disk” which can teleport anything, anywhere, into what’s alternately described as “another dimension of space” and “limbo.” Now he’s the meanest villain in the whole universe and then some.
