Sounds great, Bingowings. (re: your coda in ep1 idea)
What do you mean about having Dukoo hang around? Is there footage of that? I honestly don't know.
I have been partial to the Kaiber Crystal storyline in MagFan's edit and therefor partial to the final image of Boss Nass holding it up... but almost nothing else about that final sequence works for me. I like your version much better.
But what would the coda really be like? Where does it happen? Who's in it? Do you have it worked out?
