| 01 | Phoenix | Robert Mandell | September 14, 1986 | ||
| The Queen has put a price on the heads of the new race, humans. Captain Kidd sets a trap, snares the Phoenix spaceship with the Foxx family and the Ambassadors Waldo & Zozo aboard. Jessica and Little Zach get away. Zach and Eliza end up captured, Eliza gets turned over to the Crown, the ambassadors bust Zach out, and he gets shot in the process. Kidd then helps them get away, as the Queen has double crossed him on payment. Zach gets back to Earth, gets a bionic arm and leg, and the S5 implant. Commander Walsh creates the Series 5 team to help Zach recover his wife and the other humans captured by the Queen. | |||||
| 02 | New Frontier | Robert Mandell | October 29, 1986 | ||
| The Rangers go to Tortuna, looking for Captain Kidd, to find out what happened to Eliza. After escaping the Queens trap on Tortuna, Kidd leads them to the Queen's asteroid. They are captured by the Queen, but they can escape with Eliza's comatose body and rescue all the humans intact, but the other half of her psychocrystal is still in the hands of the Queen. | |||||
| 03 | Tortuna | Christopher Rowley | September 15, 1986 | ||
| Geezi is a snitch, and he has one of the Queen's memory birds (so she doesn't use disks for data storage and retrieval, okay?). The Rangers go back to Tortuna (this time undercover as Zanguils) to buy the bird from Geezi, and they learn about how the Queen has decimated the Gherkin race along the way. Doc almost gets turned into a slaver lord, but you gotta watch it to see how everyone gets away. | |||||
| 04 | Chained | Robert Mandell | September 18, 1986 | ||
| Goose has to transport MaCross to Earth for trial. Lucky, lucky guy. The Black Hole Gang has other ideas, as MaCross apparently hid a stash of Starstones before he was captured, and they want the stones and MaCross back. They attack Goose's interceptor while in hyperspace, and they come out WAY off course, and crash on the frontier planet Ozark. Annie O. finds them, and so do the gang. Goose promises to come back someday, Annie gives him a peck on the cheek, MaCross goes to prison. | |||||
| 05 | Smuggler's Gauntlet | Brian Daley | October 7, 1986 | ||
| Someone has stolen the Supertrooper Juice formula, and it's up to the Rangers to find out who the mysterious "Overboss" is, before the Board of Leaders puts them out of commission. | |||||
| 06 | Mistwalker | Lucia Robson | October 22, 1986 | ||
| Zach and Zozo are sent to Biste-Fenokee to check up on Audra Miles, an anthropologist studying a aboriginal species on a world where nature is in complete control, and doesn't much like technology. Zach can't deal with the tribe's Shaman, Mistwalker, and is peeved because none of his devices work (bugs in 'em, literally), while the Black Hole Gang are looking for starstones, and aren't going to let any natives get in their way. This one has a great ending. | |||||
| 07 | Wildfire | Henry Beck | September 23, 1986 | ||
| On a transport-ship carrying explosives, the Rangers get a distress call from Cody Wildfire Carson, who remembers Zach from when he was just a kid. He's being chased by a Bad Guy called Garret who wants him dead for some crime or another, and asks for sanctuary, which Zach is forced to give. Cody tries to steal Shane's ship operated by Elma in one of the show's most memorable moments, where Elma zaps him and calmly replies "You, sir, are a boob.". | |||||
| 08 | Ghost Station | Lance Strate | October 8, 1986 | ||
| An artificial planetoid is heading straight for Earth on a collision course, so the Rangers and the ambassadors got try to stop it. A highly sophisticated computer is running the show, and its a horror picture. Using holography, Spek (the computer) is trying to drive them off with one ghost story after another. Everybody splits into teams (horror movie mentality) to see who can get to the control room first. It seems Spek was programmed by some long dead alien race, and can't get out of him programming. He doesn't want to hit earth, but has no choice. Doc "helps" him to self destruct before he can do any damage, and they sadly say good-bye. This episode highly resembles Scooby Doo in a warped way.... | |||||
| 09 | One Million Emotions | Tom De Haven | September 19, 1986 | ||
| The Rangers are in charge of security at an intergalactic art show where a Poe mutant Sensation doll is stolen. The doll is dangerous to humans, indeed to everyone but a Poe, as it holds the emotions of the artist. One million emotions to be exact, and will drive you mad if you touch it. Jackie Subtract steals it for Brappo (who owns New Jersey!). After fighting their way through Brappo's garden of death, Goose and Niko confront him, demanding he return the doll. He shouts no, and goes to grab it off the table. He lets it go with a scream, and Niko goes to catch it. Shane pushes her out of the way, catches it himself, and his bio defenses save him from goin' nuts. | |||||
| 10 | Traash | Christopher Rowley | October 2, 1986 | Review | Series 6 Podcast |
| A very aggressive new race appears and is destroying everything in its path, including Crown destroyers and Captain Kidd is the only one who knows anything about them. All he has to do is give a little whistle.... | |||||
