| Cyberkidz | comment |
Cyberkidz is a rare and obscure children's science-fiction television program from 1994-96 that was Cut Short at 13 of 26 ordered episodes. It has aired sporadically in certain countries, but never saw an official release. As such, while it's not technically public domain, it is in a state of copyright limbo, and the people who made it have proven to be elusive.Four human kids obtain special headsets and gloves that allow them to access the alternate reality of Cyberland, a world taken over by the evil lord Zorak, who plans to invade the real world. Together Kyle, Ian, Danica and Zak are out to stop Zorak and his minion Zeist and bring back peace to Cyberland.Watch the whole thing on YouTube here. The series was made known by WayneRadioTV, who did a pair of streams riffing on the series named "Not For Broadcast," which can be seen here: (part one) (part two.) | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Cyberkidz / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The first few episodes establish that Zorak wants the power of the Gloves for himself, either by taking Floyd's or by stealing one of the kids' Gloves. That being said, numerous times Zorak has the kids at his mercy but he doesn't make any mention of his goals. Most notable is Death Arena Blues in which he brainwashes Kyle with his evil music. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Cyberkidz / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: The first part of the finale has Zeist chase the Cyberkids to their deaths. Kyle gets hit by a truck, Ian is burnt in an oven, Danica is run over by a Zamboni and Zac falls off a cliff. Subverted as the second part reveals that they all somehow survived. Double subverted when Ian departicalizes the others with a laser helmet alongside Zeist, with Ian himself following soon after. | |

Out of Focus | |
| Cyberkidz / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Kyle is focused on the most, usually being the character whose life outside of Cyberland is shown off. Ian gets a bit of focus in a few episodes. Danica gets some expansion for only one episode, but she's usually shown ice skating. Zac, unfortunately, is only ever shown training at the dojo outside of the pilot. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Cyberkidz / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Pilot contains a good amount of this: A few of the Kidz' lines are dubbed over in post, which doesn't happen in any other episodes. Quix would chitter incessantly between sentences, which was severely toned down in later episodes. The Kidz' visor interfaces aren't visible in the shot where they "fall" into Cyberland for the first time. | |

Uniqueness Decay: Episode 6 has Zeist make a direct offense on the human world, being treated as a massive event. Later episodes have Zorak's forces access Earth much more casually, although it only makes a major return in the finale. | |

| Cyberkidz / int_7b50237d | comment |
Distinction Without a Difference: The Gloves' powers seem to be entirely situational, transforming them to something that will help them in their current situation, but Floyd describes the "mystery power" (marked by a question mark in the visor's interface) as doing the exact same thing without specifying what makes it any different from the other powers. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: As Zeist chases the Cyberkidz in the real world, multiple times the pursuit takes them through crowded areas full of adults, none of whom try to stop the grown man chasing down clearly terrified kids at full sprint. When Zeist is demonstrating the Gigazoid in "Gigazoid Brainstorm", two different people walk directly in front of it without even acknowledging it, conveniently allowing it to use them to demonstrate its capabilities. | |
