----ARBORIA.---
----A Kingdom Not So Different from Earth.---
In this episode our three main characters are taken again to Arboria, the home and kingdom of their friend, Prince Barin. At the start we have the three of them running from some strange squirrel-bat-snake-like creatures called squirlons and Flash trying to make them flee by creating some fire out of a dead tree, which happens to success but not before one of the squirlons bit Doctor Zarkov while they were trying to escape from the squirlons by climbing a very big and thick tree, very similar to Sequoia trees and with many climbing plants and lianas around it that help them continue running when the small fire that Flash created creates a bigger fire they now have to escape from. They are later aided by the hawkmen that bring some of Barin's freezing arrows to the game to save both Flash and his friends and the rainy forest.
It's also interesting how Arboria seems very alike to Earth in many ways; its rain-forests, its furniture, its fruits, the dishes were they serve those fruits, etc... ... and many details such as the design of their jets that look similar to maybe the F-14s and F-15s (to name a few )from 1970 and 1972 respectively before the series and also maybe similar to jets like the Dassault Rafale whose first flight was in 1986... that is... after the series. Could some actual Jets have been inspired a little bit by fiction same as they were in previous designs? well, why not?
Also, IMO the design of the cabin may have been also a little bit inspired by some Star Wars vehicles, whose first movie "A New Hope" had already been released in 1977.
The adventure of our three main heroes continues having been helped by the mysterious aid of an spaceship apparently from Ming's army that surprisingly helps them during a battle and a good dinner in a hall in Arboria to replenish their strength.
Thanks for reading.
