Reviews

Deconstructing Dodgers

FireballXL6January 16, 2005

This is obviously an attempt to show some deleted scenes from the first series, and what better way to do it than having them entangled in a conversation in a Spaceport? I quite liked the way Queen Tyranee and IQ Hi were acting so chummy when not on state business. For instance, instead of calling him by his formal address, the Queen constantly refers to IQ as Ignatius. I don't understand why the last we hear of Tyranee's feelings for Dodgers were those of rage, as seen in THE QUEEN IS WILD. All in all, one great clip show.
