Recap / Solar Opposites S3 E6 "99 Ships"

Go To

A look into what happened to the other ships that have survived the explosion of Shlorp.

Tropes for this episode include:

  • Eternal Recurrence: This isn't the first time Planet Shlorp has sent ships out to terraform other planets into new copies of Shlorp. The Shlorpians have been at this for a very long time. There are many Shlorps across the galaxy, and every time one is destroyed, it sends out 100 more teams to start the process all over again.
  • Planetary Parasite: The Shlorpian species have been terraforming many planets into new Shlorps.
  • The Reveal: The Shlorp that the Solars came from wasn't the first one, but it too was created by a Shlorpian team terraforming another planet with a Pupa. The Shlorpians have been doing this for a very long time, and there are now many Shlorps all across the galaxy.
  • Shown Their Work: The giant tyrannosaur-like parrot that devours Team 63 is drawn with the zygodactyl feet (two toes in front and two in back) of real-life parrots. Also, Yumyulack points out that "a giant bird is basically a T. rex", clearly a reference to the fact that birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs.
  • Terrifying Tyrannosaur: A majority of the Shlorpian crews have been eaten by Tyrannosaurus on different planets.
  • Vegetarian Carnivore: The Tyrannosaurus seem keen on eating the Shlorpians despite the latter being plant-based, which Aisha lampshades.
