OK if you're not hoping for 'Lost in Space'-style space-pirates (part 2)
jamesrupert201428 February 2022
After towing Vena's disabled cargo-rocket to the base on Casa 7, Rocky deduces when the pirate's base may be the planetoid Prah, a mysterious place from which no ships have ever returned. Suspecting some kind of defence barrier, Rocky installs Professor Newton's newly developed 'cold light' generator, which will make the 'Orbit Jet' invisible, and sets off to Prah to investigate. This bridging episode in the trilogy establishes that the villainous Cleolanta, still infatuated with the heroic Space Ranger, is behind the space-piracy, that the pirates are not too bright, and that being able to make your rocket invisible is incredibly useful. Even by Rocky Jones standards, the 'invisibility' gadget is pretty nonsensical and so convenient that further episodes will need to explain why it's not constantly in use (Bobby makes some passing reference to gamma rays, so perhaps 'cold light' is unhealthy to be around). Anyone who sat through chapter 1 will likely find chapter 2 watchable as well.
