This is another result of the challenge suggested by Unpublished Writer, namely to take one of the 20 Gatchaman episodes that were never used in Battle of the Planets and rewrite it to be a BOTP episode. In the same manner that I turned Gatchaman episode 102 into a "Battle of the Planets" episode, Dreams of Deception, here is Gatchaman episode 103, also converted to a "Battle of the Planets" episode. While it is a follow-up to Dreams of Deception, I envisioned that one occurring in between BOTP episodes 73 and 74 (using Sandy Frank's production order), but I'm putting this one at the end of the series, as an "episode 86."

Dream sequences here are from another unused Gatchaman episode, #78 "Mortal Combat! 10,000 Meters Under the Sea." Battle of the Planets episodes sometimes used footage from more than one Gatchaman episode, so I figured I could do it too.

Again, there's probably too much fighting and suffering in this for Battle of the Planets (though I did "edit out" a lot from the Gatch version), as well as too much plot weirdness and episode continuity, but I'm not seriously claiming this could pass muster as a BOTP episode. As ever, I now have a much greater appreciation for what the BOTP writers accomplished!
