comment |
This critically acclaimed 1986 series was the first of three animated Space Westerns to air in America during the late 1980s.note The others being Bravestarr and Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (both premiering in 1987, a year after Rangers), though one could argue that Silverhawks (1986) is a Space Western as well.To elaborate on the Opening Narration: The peaceful aliens represent several planets who are endangered by The Crown Empire, an interplanetary dictatorship headed by the tyrannical Queen of the Crown. Thanks to the hyperdrive, Earth begins to interact with alien worlds and colonize distant planets, which leads to a culture that resembles a futuristic version of The Wild West. Unfortunately, it also leads to danger from spacegoing outlaws, as well as The Crown Empire, which wants to enslave every species it encounters — especially the human race. The crimefighting organization BETA (the Bureau of Extra-Terrestrial Affairs) is formed to protect Earth from these threats. BETA's best-known agents are the Galaxy Rangers, four fearless "space cowboys" (well, one of them's a cowgirl) who each have different powers provided by Series Five brain implants. The Rangers are Cyborg team leader Zachary Foxx, shapeshifting Cowboy Cop Shane Gooseman, psychic Action Girl Niko, and wisecracking Techno Wizard Walter "Doc" Hartford. More information about the Rangers, and their friends and enemies, is available at the character sheet.For a kid-oriented Animated Series from The '80s that had a breakdancing robot in it, Galaxy Rangers has earned a surprising amount of respect from adult fans. The show was sophisticated for an American Animated Series of its time, and between the involvement of TMS Entertainment and the epic storylines, it had an Animesque feel that few of its competitors could match. Even now, it still has a solid fanbase.Series creator Robert Mandell also went on to do Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders in the 90's.Not to be confused with Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, or with the original western name of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, which would become the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers have their own wiki here. |

Darker and Edgier: Compared to its contemporaies like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) and ThunderCats (1985), and even rival Space Western series like BraveStarr and Saber Rider. Several of the writers had backgrounds in horror writing, and as with many shows that aired in First-Run Syndication, the writing had more creative freedom. Many of the critic reviews for the series point out the contrast in tone from other cartoons of the era. |

Gone Horribly Right: The Marshmallow Trees. Oh, good lord, the Marshmallow Trees. Zozo, Niko, Buzzwang, and the Kiwi kids deliver a group of the trees the episode is named for to a farming planet. The trees are planted, and before the day is over, they've gone from seedlings to adult trees twenty times their normal size and are already sprouting fruit...which comes in the size of marshmallows that are also twenty times normal size. The next day, the entire countryside is covered with seeds from the Marshmallow Trees...which proceed to grow every bit as fast as the first bunch! Needless to say, Hilarity Ensues. |

Cult Soundtrack: See the Awesome Music section. The soundtrack was pure mid-80's arena rock. When Koch was compiling the DVD release and asking for extras, the fan list clogged with requests begging for a soundtrack. Even before that, fans were cobbling together mixtapes and making their own attempts at building soundtracks. |

| | Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers / int_40cc0c7e |
comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The writers loved this one. About one in five episodes had the Rangers' "victory" as getting out with their shirts and souls intact...and not much else. "Phoenix" - Zachary, Zozo, Waldo, and the Foxx children get away, but the Queen still has dozens of humans (including Eliza) hostage. Zach was injured so badly that over half his body had to be replaced with cyberware. And the League is now at war with an extremely nasty galactic tyrant. "New Frontier" - Yay, most of the humans were freed! But Eliza's trapped. The episode ends with a Meaningful Funeral. "Psychocrypt" - The harmonic factor allowing the Queen to Mind Rape Zachary and his wife on a nightly basis has been disabled. But Eliza's still trapped, and there seems to be little (if any) hope she'll ever be rescued, despite Zach's vow. "Supertroopers" - the plot of the Supertrooper renegades to unleash a biological weapon has been thwarted, but most of them managed to escape. Whiner will get away with his continued crooked dealings, and Goose will always be considered a traitor by his fellow troopers and less than human by the Earth government. "Galaxy Stranger" - Goose is in love with Darkstar, but she's in love with Stingray. He walks away and lets them go, but she can't understand why. It's also unknown if he would face any fallout on Earth over it. "Ghost Station" - The titular Kill Sat blows itself to bits to spare the heroes and all of Earth, taking an entire repository of a lost alien culture with it. "Renegade Rangers" - Yay, the Rangers got most of the Black Hole Gang and their stolen battleship. But Daisy O'Mega got away, and lost her chance to make a Heel–Face Turn. "Magnificent Kiwi" - the Queen's been chased off, but the last remnants of the Gherkin people must abandon their homes and go into hiding again. "Gift of Life"/"Sundancer" - Yay, the kid and his horse won the race! Yay, the kid keeps the horse. But the kid is also an orphan now, the kid's father was considered a traitor (and the charges may or may not have been true), and he will be heading for a planet he's never seen before and he's unable to return to where he used to call home. |

| | Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers / int_420c50b7 |
comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Averted. AI units run everything from starbases and planetary weapons systems to ordinary homes. They are usually friendly, sometimes benign, and occasionally Cloudcuckoolanders, but rarely malicious. Justified in that the AI characters are treated with respect, and there's even a psychiatric field dedicated to their well being. Ranger Hartford's doctorate is explicitly stated to be Computer Psychiatry and he's shown several times treating AI patients. |

comment |
Determined Homesteader: Very commonly encountered on the planets the Rangers went to. In "Fire and Iron," it's one of these who called the Rangers there to stop sabotage to the monorail (railroad). In "Galaxy Stranger," a Cattle Baron is trying to force them from their land. Recurring Character Annie O. stands for this Trope on the planet Ozark. |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke |
| | Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers / int_5ec15a79 |
comment |
Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: The principle behind the creation of the Supertroopers, with a touch of Magic Genetics. A lighter episode, "Marshmallow Trees," and a Noodle Incident mentioned in "Scarecrow" deal with GMO crops gone out of control. It is generally avoided in context with agriculture, though. Gengineered cattle or crops are a fact of life, and the two times problems occur, they stem from unexpected interactions with the conditions on a planet other than the one the organism was developed on. |

Instead, she runs off with Jerkass Stingray and becomes a criminal while Shane is conscripted into the Rangers with orders to hunt them down. When he finds them, Darkstar makes it clear she's staying with Stingray. After defeating Stingray, Shane walks away from them both. Darkstar is unable to understand why. |

Heroic Sacrifice |
| | Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers / int_6439de78 |
comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: At least five. In "Ghost Station", the AI that runs the titular Kill Sat self-destructs to prevent the obliteration of Earth. In "Tune-Up", Buzzwang blows himself up to protect BETA's secrets from Lazarus Slade. Fortunately for Buzz, he's an android, and he's rebuilt by the end of the episode. In "Heartbeat", The Old Shaman merges his life force with the Heart of Tarkon so that the Master Computer can continue to defend the planet. "Trouble at Texton" has Shane getting the other three to safety while he becomes trapped in a particle accelerator. He gets better courtesy of an extra-dimensional entity. And in "Phoenix," (the pilot episode): Eliza orders GV to launch the escape shuttle containing her kids, staying behind to face the Fate Worse than Death. |

World of Snark: Almost every character got a zinger in at one point. However, Doc made an art form of it. At least three quarters of his lines are delivered in Sarcasm Mode, something that sadly didn't translate well in the German dub. |

Mind Rape: For a mid-80's "kids show," they loved this one. The Psychocrypt, Po Sensation Doll, Mindnet, "dream maker," and one of the Scarecrow's abilities all fell into shades of this one. As did the General's "interrogation" of the prison warden in "Changeling". |

Berserk Button: Keep calling Goose a metamorph; see where it gets ya. Even better; threaten Zach's kids or get between him and a rescue attempt on Eliza. Andorians are normally calm and rational, but try to confine them, and they turn into slavering brutes with literal fangs and claws. |

comment |
Character Focus: Atypically for the era, the show made a habit of it. "Phoenix" centers on Zachary, and only introduces the other three Rangers with a single line of dialogue each at the end. "Galaxy Stranger" is a love letter to Clint Eastwood movies, focused exclusively on Shane. "Ariel" delves into Niko's background. The final episode, "Heartbeat", is one for Doc. |

Training from Hell |
| | Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers / int_d66cd0e6 |
comment |
Training from Hell: Wolf Den, birthplace of the Supertroopers — a bunch of Artificial Human Tykebombs, designed for the purpose of killing any aliens that come across Earth. Involved things like being shot at by giant mechas with live ammo, the Morally Ambiguous Doctorates using them as test subjects for experimental combat drugs, and one's "fellow" Troopers were more than happy to weed the "weak" from the ranks themselves. Oh, and they didn't much care about little things like "casualties." This was before Senator Whiner dosed the lot with Psycho Serum. |

Humans Are Special: But in a negative way. Human Life Energy is more powerful and longer lasting than that of other species, which is why the Queen starts hunting humans to power her psychocrystals. Even races that aren't seeking them for the Queen's crypt consider humans to be wildly unpredictable and completely insane. |

Plot Tailored to the Party: They loved this one. Most of the time, there were ways for the team to show off their skills; computers to hack, something to be scanned psychically, something to hit, and the captain to keep things coordinated. Of course, they subverted it just as often with their fondness for missing characters, when the remaining crew would find the situation more complicated due to their fellow Ranger being out of the picture. |

comment |
A World Half Full: The Crown Empire may be crumbling, but it's still powerful. The Queen herself is a bloodthirsty, genocidal megalomaniac. The jail system is about as good as Arkham Asylum. Tortuna is a Wretched Hive, and some other planets aren't much better. Earth's politicians are often questionable or worse, as are the business-beings. One of the Rangers is essentially a slave. A quarter of the episodes are Bittersweet Endings. A few are arguable Downer Endings. Oh, and Eliza is never rescued. Still, there are just as many GOOD Corporate executives, benevolent scientists, competent military personnel, and friendly alien factions as evil ones, and sometimes the "villains" are merely misguided. |

R-Rated Opening: "Phoenix" and "Gift of Life" - in the first, there's about two or three minutes of exposition before the Crown Destroyer lands on Kirwin and colonists are brutally gunned down. In the second, it's an action-packed opening as the Rangers fight off a criminal gang to arrest a rogue scientist, only to find that the woman inside the house is dead, the scientist is mortally wounded, and their child is nowhere to be seen. |
