OCC: Getting the season one episodes outta the way first.

When a special guest called Griff meets the Freedom Fighters, Sonic's task isn't easy. Upon having to help explore underground tunnels below Mobius surface, he's also faced with Ratbots, a city underground of 30 residents, and that Griff guy trying to charm Sally.

As a friend, Griff is allowed to tour Knothole inquiring about the power stone that rises out of the ring grotto every 12 or 24 hours. The FF's discover the deep power stone missing the next day and Griff, so Sonic bolts for Lower Mobius to recover the stone and discover if Griff is friend or foe?

Simple enough for season one,?

Edit-ok, fixed it just because.

It's not a deep power stone, those things don't show up until Drood Henge.

So, the episode. A lot of really interesting scenery throughout, from the traffic nerve center to the Robotropolis underground to Lower Mobius itself. The Ratbots looked very cool indeed. Antoine was funny without being annoying despite his prominent role, and the 'puum' scenes were likewise entertaining. Another amusing thing in retrospect is that Sonic is perfectly adept at swimming. Take that, Segasonic!

One wonders why a pig is selling chilidogs... I figure the power stone is akin to the power crystals from the crystal mine.

I believe this is the episode where Antione's face sags on one side, at the point where he says "Ah, merci, merci!"

Another personal favorite of mine, and one of which I have a remarkably keen memory. For starters, it's filled with all manner of cool ideas that really help to enlarge SatAM's world and mythos. Sub-Mobius, the Robo-Rats, the Power Ring generator...all these cool details about the world the show takes place in really serve to add just the right spice to things. And of course, for me personally, I found the exploration of the Sonic/Sally dynamic, as well as the Sonic/Antoine dynamic and the triangle between the three of them, to be pretty interesting. Sonic and Sally's conversation in his hut at night, though brief, is probably one of my favorite little moments from the whole show. I also appreciated the handling of Griff's character. It would've been easy enough to make him a complete jerk, but it isn't that difficult to understand why he does what he does even if it isn't ultimately justifiable. So yeah, definitely one of my favorites.

Like Gojila, I have a special place in my heart for this episode. The Ratbots were always an interesting enemy to me, especially the mutant one. I like how this episode shows that there are freedom fighters outside of Knothole, and brings to life the possibility that there could be even more FF. It also shows that even FF aren't exempt from depraved acts (Griff stealing the power stone (which was interesting to see btw)). They are all in the fight against Robotnik together though .

I wonder if Lower Mobius is life-dependant on the crystal. I mean would it be fatal for the Lower Mobians to seek refuge in Knothole?

I know it's good they seperate to not keep their eggs in one basket. Maybe this splitting crystal is the cause of the 12 hour increase in ring production?

Anyway, on to Dec's ep.
