Disclaimer: Voltron: the Third Dimension belongs to WEP. If you get militantly upset when people make fun of it, don't read this.
Note: For anyone under 21, or any of you morning people who are actually awake when V3D airs, I recommend Jolt cola or M&M's. Nothing like a serious caffeine and sugar buzz to get you through the day. For everyone else- just remember: vcr's were invented for a reason.
Note 2: Since V3D isn't shown in my viewing area any longer, this is probably only accurate through the end of the first season.
Rules? You've got to be kidding. On with the game!
Take 1 drink if:
Amalgamous' name is so much as mentioned
Anyone mentions the dream dimension
Pidge rigs together some really nifty computer device that saves the day
Anyone makes a joke about Hunk being dumb
Anyone makes a joke about Hunk being hungry (just 'cause it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't)
Anyone refers to his or her lion as "kitty"
Keith's hair has noticable blonde streaks
Lotor utters the words "do that voodoo you do so well" to Hagar
Lotor tries to force Allura to marry him
Coran actually puts in an appearance
Some poor nameless character puts in a quick appearance, never to be heard from again
Lance jumps all over Keith for blindly obeying orders
Keith jumps all over Lance for refusing to obey orders
Keith and Lance get in another sissy fight
Hunk and Pidge get into an argument
Allura does something incredibly stupid for a ruler with no heirs to "save her people"
Lance gets thrown in jail
Anyone looks shocked when the robeast of the week fails to defeat Voltron
The robeast of the week isn't destroyed but morphs back into a cute potato-chip loving harmless creature
Anyone refers to Amalgamous as a "glorified calculator" or anything else evenly remotely close to that
Amalgamous threatens to disband the Voltron Force
The Voltron Force is put on trial with only 6 people to speak for the 900 planets. Isn't 6 people an awfully small amount for 900 planets? That's 150 each.
The force and Lotor have to cooperate to get out of a situation that Lotor created
Ohh! Look at the pretty explosions!
www.voltronforce.com pops up on the monitor in Castle Control
UST between anybody. Watch out for this one. It can seriously get you into trouble :-)
*****
Take 2 drinks if:
Anyone repeats a speech verbatim that someone else already made to kill time
An animation sequence is used twice in the same episode
Zarcon is introduced as the Minister of Peace
Zarcon reprograms Amalgamous to do something evil
No one from the 900 planets Amalgamous represents seems to have a clue that he has been reprogrammed to do something evil
That reporter, Weep Weep Cheromoya?, pops up anywhere
Lance decides to abandon everyone and fight Lotor on his own
Lance has to be rescued after his plans totally backfire
Anyone wonders aloud if Zarcon might actually still be evil
Someone finds definite proof that Zarcon is still evil only to promptly lose their memory
Zarcon's shadowed face pops up on Lotor's view screen as if even a five-year-old child couldn't identify his silhouette
Alfor's ghost appears to save the day yet again
The lions refuse to let anyone but their chosen pilot into the cockpit, although this never seemed to be a problem in the original series
The pilots are referred to as the lions' souls
Amalgamous begins one of his 'robots are superior to humans' rants
Allura puts in an appearance in that horrid pink dress
Allura pulls out the lion paw
*****
Give up and stop counting drinks if:
The Lions are destroyed
Lotor finally gives up on the Doom weapons plan and starts looking for a decent plastic surgeon
Lotor files a medical malpractice suit against the Alliance... and wins
Sven, Romelle, or Bandor suddenly reappear from the black hole that apparently swallowed planet Pollux
The space mice come back
Haggar starts lusting after anybody
Stealth voltron shows up
That one action figure of Haggar that looks like the universal equivalent of a Playboy centerfold puts in an appearance
Keith suddenly develops a backbone
Allura gets tired of waiting for Keith to develop a backbone and runs away with Lotor, Lance, Coran, or Amalgamous
Allura runs off with Keith. Okay, the K&A fans will be happy, but someone please pass me the entire bottle while I go throw things at the tv.
Anyone appears in anything other than their body armor, not counting the aforementioned pink dress
Space Marshall Graham reappears and turns Amalgamous into a Mr. Coffee
Pidge uploads a virus into Amalgamous' circuits making him dance around Alliance headquarters singing "Mr. Roboto"
Keith suddenly decides to dispense with the dramatics and forms the blazing sword at the beginning of the battle
You suddenly decide that the Legend of Zelda actually has much better graphics that Voltron: the Third Dimension
Wow, look! There are actually people who live on Arus!
Can anyone say "clip show"?
Can you say "character development"? Actually, if you watch enough episodes in a row, probably not.
