Shadow Raiders - S02E05 - Sandstorm

The Alliance travels to planet Sand. Lady Zera meets one of the Sand People, Zuma. She is a telepath. In the end, the great Sand People save the day with their mind power.

[@davidsatterwhite5812]

Zuma's telepathic voice is eeriely wonderful and spellbinding

[@tyraela115]

Reminds me of Archangel Tyrael (The Archangel of Justice, voiced by Ed Trotta) from Diablo II. Here is an example:

Technical Pacifism at its finest.
"We can't harm another... but that doesn't mean we can't put an enemy in harm's way and let fate run its course"

[@EmptyMan000]

Honestly that's not even pacifism. That's indirect violence. Like tying someone up and putting them on the tracks of an incoming train.

"domesticated animals with no language or culture... We call them zoomers"
This show was truly ahead of its time

[@cmdr.gamera4074]

3:41 Ramset is oddly entertaining, ngl. And I personally can’t get enough of that exosuit!

[@vinikampferherzbarros27]

I love all the references on this show.
The Worlds and their parallel counterpart in real life, the face on this planet - and Zera's line - plus the character's accent...

15:35 - 15:47 Talk about BEAUTIFUL musical accompaniment!

[@joseguevara8321]

Even from the Same Composer from Beast Wars and ReBoot.

[@Jaeger_Bishop]

Looks like a sort of EGYPTIAN culture.

[@andrewgan557]

Jaeger_Bishop with the sun people like the ancient Egyptians while the sand people were like their slaves the isrealites.

[@andrewshouse9840]

With the Sun People acting like out of touch British aristocracy. Cryos always struck me as a Brit with an Egyptian aesthetic as well, but in his case it is the unflappable dry stoicism.

[@UnlimitedFlyers]

Back as a kid, I thought the same thing. But now older, the Sun Empire strikes me more of a less stereotypical Egyptian knock-off: Babylonian references in architecture, the city like a massive Ziggurat, clay buildings... I think Mainframe actually tried to create OC when they did the series. It would be incredible if they could do a fresh take on this show with modern-day 3D tech.

[@VolrinSeth]

@@andrewgan557 Except there was no mass slavery in Egypt, Jewish or otherwise.

[@andrewgan557]

@@VolrinSeth oh yeah I forgot in reality. The Egyptians do have slaves but they never use them in manual hard labor.

[@ayar2]

Ramset looks like a little grey alien.

[@sergon777]

So why didn't they move planet fire's residents on to this planet after it joined the alliance? I'm sure it was hotter than a battle moon...

[@asayospacegoat6384]

Fire and Rock's ideologies aren't drastically different from one another. They've been bitter enemies, but they're still both warrior cultures. Sand's people, on the other hand, are pacifists (or in case of the Sun Empire, ineffectual). Between that and potential crowding, moving people to planet Sand so soon might have been unwise.

[@intorsusvolo7834]

Since the world engine is taking the planet away from its Sun, Planet Sand will probably get cold. Even if that wasn’t the case, night time would still be cold on Sand.
How a Battle Moon is better for the people of Fire, I do not know.

[@clademirya2699]

​@@intorsusvolo7834the world engines create artificial atmospheres. Each planet would presumably retain their original warmths even outside of the solar systems.

13:31 So if she's telepathic, you think she might be psychic too?

[@christopherbeckles6333]

What happened to episode 4???

[@excelsawd1006]

okay, i get that they have an "atmospheric integrity shield" , a "gravity matrix" and "world engines" but that doesn't change the fact that to generate all of that you would need an IMMENSE amount of power. not to mention the forces at play and the fact that the vibrations alone would shake the planet to bits.

[@AntaresM1911]

I believe that's what gravity matrix do, somewhat maintain planet's integrity, how? In S3 soon... :v

[@Darkdaej]

Well, the power could simply come from the planet's geothermal properties. If the engines are literally tapping into the planet's core it could easily power these engines.

[@kidacma3752]

They use planet core to have power for planet move. But they need to stop sometime to revive enegy and not to destroy the world.But the beast planet don't need to rest because they eat other planet.If beast planet have nothing to eat they maybe get self destroy.

[@DRZREALEST]

i know they have to scape and everything.. but planets would go cold without a sun... specially the ppl in bone planet..

[@nolanbeardy8212]

You recall the planets activates some Shielding and magnetics shields right? so it would activate some environmental Life-support system as well like their Space ships. hope that explains it :) . Plus there going to System to system as you see in 8:10.

[@DRZREALEST]

ok, lets say thats true but where do they get the light from?

[@nolanbeardy8212]

System to system... Sun to Sun

[@Soulfly415]

Nolan Beardy Fuck all that! A planet is supose to spin around it's core, that means the engines will spin too and they will be unable to maintain course. Also i'm pretty sure if a planet stop spining around it's core, life will vanquish from the surface.

[@DRZREALEST]

Дейв Мъстейн that dude is saying from sun to sun.. but stars are light years apart so it makes no sense....
