'Look, it has bumps!'
31 August 2022
Bordering on farce, here we find Buck and Hawk boarding a drifting ship manned by seven dwarves (!). Specifically six pint-sized Generals and one smart-mouthed, defiant Private (hilarious Tony Cox) who proceed to wreck their hosts own ship with their disruptive antics as they become enamoured by the lovely Col. Deering and her feminine form.

It's a pretty crazy concept as the dwarves behave like naughty school kids, pushing buttons and blasting asteroids, and there's an hilarious (also maybe a little uncomfortable) scene in which they telepathically undress Deering to better understand the female reproductive anatomy (which ends in a freeze-frame cliffhanger no less).

There's also a subplot involving the ship being drawn into a nearby sun causing the crew to perspire (literally), and a very 'Wizard of Oz' esque ending with Hyde-White reminding everyone to believe in miracles.

If you're a BR fan you'll appreciate the more light-hearted plot which plays more for laughs than thrills, although probably didn't help the by-now ailing series' long-term prospects.
