When Troy and Phones enter Titanica they have the guns with the little red thing on the end but when they're having there little Gunfight at Okay's Corral with the Aquaphibians they have the guns from Stand By for action (The ones Troy and Fisher had at the start)

Does it seem peculiar to anyone else that Titan tried and failed so often to kill Troy, then, in a plan that DOESN'T include killing Troy, Titan could have done so easily?

Just when did Phones learn to speak Aquaphibian? (Although it does make sense that he, the "sound man" would be the one to learn it.)

Ever notice that those Terror Fish, with their white, semi-opaque portholes, look like really dead fish?

Why didn't Titan punch a button or make a call and simply stop the travel tube from reaching the Fish?

I loved the statement that Troy COULDN'T die--the implication being that the entire WASP organization will go to heck in a handbasket if he's not there.

Just how far away is Titan's kingdom from the Pacific coastline? Or, alternatively, just how fast can Marina swim? Troy had four hours to live, yet Marina had time to get to the coast (ten miles away from Marineville, I believe) swim to Titanica, and have Titan's missile launched, not to mention the time it took them to examine the missile. (And lucky they noticed that there was no warhead in the missile, or Troy's medicine would have evaporated.)

Notice that when Troy passed out, he closed his eyes and slumped forward, yet when he hit the console, his eyes popped open.

Did they save a bit of that antidote to analyze? If not, Titan has a rather frightful weapon to use against them in future.

Just think, if Titan hadn't been so greedy to get Stingray, he would have had Marina as his slave AND Troy Tempest dead.

The guns change because the ray guns (the ones with the red bit on the end) work by the red bit spinning and what your shooting at exploding or being stunned (they hint at a stun setting in one episode).

That works fine when they do it with a close up of a real hand with a lifesized version but the puppet sized one doesn't spin and the gun battle they had using them in a previous episode looked a bit unconvincing. They just jereked their gun hands up and down to give the impression it was fireing so i assume thats why they replaced them with the stand by for action versions.
