Space Ghost is interviewing Michael Norman, a ghost "expert." Norman admits this is his first actual encounter with a ghost, and takes the opportunity to pepper Ghosty with a few questions. Dangit, as a skeptical-know-it-all-jerk, I wanted to hate Michael Norman, but he seems to have a good sense of humor about the show and himself. It's fun to watch him probe Space Ghost with questions, even to the point of blasting.
Then, one of my favorite knowing skeptics, Bill Nye, shows up for just a moment to remind us there is still much science has to learn, like how a ghost can live in space. And then it's over.
My favorite Zorak moment in this episode is, of course: "Blast him! Blast him! Blast him!"
As an episode of SGC2C, I rate this 8/10. Zorak's "Blast him!" is iconic, and the scratch-audio joke at the end is perfect.
As a Halloween show, I rate this 6/10. Plenty of ghost talk, and Tad even gets to go "OooooOOOOOooooo."
