I can't remember precisely how this conclusion was reached, but at some
point in the last month or so the idea came about that Giorgio A.
Tsoukalous was the obvious lead of Ancient Aliens, and the other folks
on the programme were the other Rangers to his Red Ranger.
Or something like that. Anyway, we discussed who exactly the other four would be, decided what they'd be driving as Zords, and I ran with that and figured out what exactly these things would look like and how they'd transform and combine.
Giorgio's got a version of the '
Pre-columbian Flyer' from the first episode which is sold as a pin badge now, and it forms the head, naturally. David Childress forms the arms with a
Vimana, a vehicle of the gods from Hindu myth that he, and Ancient Aliens, speculate was a type of alien spacecraft. Speaking of chariots of the gods,
Erich von Daniken has precisely that- well, maybe not precisely, but it's a chariot-shaped spacecraft that forms the body of the robot. Due to an amusing one-off incident when she referred to a cattle farmer as an 'expert in nonhuman entities',
Linda Howe gets to drive a giant robot cow that forms one of the legs, something which I'm sure I'll have to apologise profusely for should I ever meet her, but in my defence it is funny. Finally, we have
Sara Seager reluctantly added to the team, who we have nicknamed 'Actual Science Lady' due to her not really supporting the ancient alien theories, but appearing on the show to discuss the actual proven science behind things. She forms one of the legs with a space telescope, since her Ph.D is in Astronomy.
That was a lot of preamble with little in the way of stuff to look at, so I'll move along and round of this post with the fun factoid that at least three of these people have been compared to Indiana Jones.
