There are a few later-seasons trgb eps I wish had been made when the show was still good, but "spacebusters" has gotta be one of my top picks. I know there already was a space-themed episode in season two but I honestly think this one has a more compelling plot and it could have fucked so hard if a) the animation was done in the first few seasons' style so it could have a more legit creepy atmosphere; b) the writing was a little more competent in places; and c) we didn't have to have slimer around constantly killing the tension with his interjections. That said, I don't think even the better era of the show would have given me what I really want, which is to spend more time on the fucked up survival horror scenario winston was in for however long it was before the others got there
#like imagine. you're so excited to go on this trip and fulfill a lifelong dream (...never mind the previous time you went to space)#but then people start vanishing right out of their spacesuits#something is hunting you down one by one and you're trapped on this space station without any real way to defend yourself#and the people you normally rely on as partners aren't there. then finally it's just you alone on the station#only surviving thus far thanks to a piece of technology you have but that mysterious thing is still on the prowl and hungry#and when your partners do show up they don't immediately believe it's really you!!#like that's some horror stuff right there dude. it's fucked up. i want to explore that in detail#wish more of it could have been shown rather than just told about. y'know?#and like i say even the early seasons probably wouldn't have delivered on quite such a thing#BUT if it was a better episode it might have inspired fanworks that would properly delve into the space horror potential of it all#who's to say
