| 21. | Alonzo's suggestion to Julia: "Why tie 'em up? If they want to jump in the hole, let 'em jump in the damn hole!" |
|---|---|
| 20. | Dr. Vasquez is Commander O'Neill's twin brother. |
| 19. | Julia is right, the sunstones are part of a vast communication network. What she doesn't realize is that they speak in Morse Code, and Terrian telegraph operators wearing little caps are stationed at various points around the world, constantly sending and receiving messages. |
| 18. | The fruit the Grendler gives them induces a slow-acting genetic mutation. Within five years, they'll all have blue skin. |
| 17. | Tired of yet another frustrating trading session, Morgan sits down with the Grendlers and patiently teaches them about free enterprise, having a product or service to sell, marketing it, and advertising it. G889 is never the same. Three times a day, the Edenites come across Grendlers with a lemonade stand, each claiming to be the "Lasst chanse fer lemmon-aide fur then ext 150 million lite yeers." When they come across the Grendler-owned log cabin resort in the mountains, it is the last straw. |
| 16. | The transrover? It takes diesel. |
| 15. | The hole in the earth which makes spring has a secret you really don't wanna know about. |
| 14. | Zero has a fault with one of his transistors, but the Terrians take him underground to heal him. To get him back, Danziger makes them a promise. Danziger and Zero run towards each other through a field. |
| 13. | The Grendlers have a curious coming-of-Grendlerhood ritual for their young: each Grendler must sneak into a Terrian cave and push a Terrian into that smoking pool, moon him before he climbs out, and run away without getting caught. (This is why Grendlers are actually few and far between.) Thus is born the true meaning of the term Moon Cross. |
| 12. | The adult toys they find in a closet in the biodome. |
| 11. | The outcast Terrians form two gangs, the Sharks and the Jets. You know the rest. |
| 10. | The Grendlers use the communication dish on the beach at New Pacifica as the bucket in their weekly basketball games. When the Edenites finally reach New Pacifica, this is a source of contention between the two species. To make peace, the Grendlers are allowed full usage of the dish every Saturday night, and during special times once a year for their national tournament. |
| 9. | Kobas enjoy bowling. They just can't do it very well. |
| 8. | That silver ball on a tower which the Edenites put up wherever they camp isn't a solar converter, it's a strobe light for their nightly disco parties. |
| 7. | The reason the Terrians don't pursue Yale after Mary frees him is that, to be honest, they don't really like the guy Morgan petrified in the first place and, let's face it, he makes a really great coat rack hanging out of the wall like that. |
| 6. | And they get rid of Mary because she was starting to nag. |
| 5. | Terrians don't go into a coma when stung by Kobas, they just get really, really HAPPY! |
| 4. | The sing-along which Julia tries to start in the dunerail on their way to meet Yale and Walman after coming up empty at Cargo Pod # 9. |
| 3. | Every time someone spacewarps through a spider web, a little spider voice can be heard shouting, "Engage!" |
| 2. | In addition to his clothes, in return for the saliva, the Grendler demands that Morgan do the Macarena in his underwear. The Grendler records it on gear, makes 100 copies, and they are now the hottest trading items around the whole planet. |
| 1. | Danziger gets ahold of one of those copies, and the group is never the same. |
