Episode Summary

While flying a series of training exercises, a young Drule fighter pilot named Xandu collides his fighter with two robot ships and crash lands on a planet Galaxy Garrison is using as an outpost. Xandu is brought to Explorer and nursed back to health. Commander Hawkins decides not to treat Xandu as a prisoner but rather as a friend in the hopes that Xandu's time on Explorer will be a ray of hope for peace between the alliance and the Drules. Jeff and the Voltron force make efforts to build a friendship with Xandu. However, Shannon, a member of the Sea Team, has a brother who is currently being held by the Drules as a POW. Shannon has no intentions of being friends with somebody he consideres the enemy. Meanwhile, the Drules begin to suspect Xandu is a traitor and make plans to execute him for supposed treason.moreless

    While I did like this episode and found it entertaining, this episode shows the difficulty in editing this episode of "Armored Fleet Dairugger XV" into Vehicle Voltron. First we have always been lead to believe that the Drules only send robots into battle. Here we see a living being preparing for battle. This plot hole is never explained. Second, at episode's end Hawkins mentions that Xandu is back in sick bay and will be returned home soon. Why would they send him home? Xandu's superiors just tried to kill him! Better yet, why would Xandu want to return? Flawed episode.moreless

In that episode Galveston Captain Grabont (Drule Commander Zabar in "Voltron".) shoots down Sim's (Xandu in "Voltron".)fighter as he tries to fly back to his people. Rugger Team member Izumo (Shannon in "Voltron".) tries to convince Sim to come back to Rugger Guard (Explorer in "Voltron".). Sim refuses and climbs into the burning wreckage of his fighter.
