My nightmare!
danial-9206321 October 2021
Alien Baltan was my nightmare when i was a kid but now one of my favourite Alien in the franchise so far. This episode really speaks a lot about them and its a great episode for me.

Mind control, freezing power and crab claws!

Warning: Spoilers
The Balatans are walking visitors from another planet that have a lot of power over humans, and it seems like they are unstoppable, even with Ultraman a threat. This episode begins a lot of silliness that would be in the series with a bit of comedy starting at the beginning over one of the men in the service being sent out ordered a butthole to put on something other than slippers. It's obvious a type of audience they were going for, and why was cute, adults will most likely roll their lives while modern kids just sit there expressionless. At the time, I'm sure it was funny for kids, but it's not the type of humor today that goes over well with them. One of the characters also starts off the episode looking at the camera trying to explain how he got a black eye which is explains as the episode ends, another bit of juvenile humor involving counting sheep. Then, there's an enthusiastic Japanese kid, see you in the first episode, told by our hero when asked if he can help to keep in contact with the home base. About what never explained, but basically code for just getting him out of the way. This creature has the ability to disappear when are planes up here with their ray guns, and is able to freeze them with his. The episode had me laughing yet rolling my eyes at the same time.
