37. Season One, Episode Thirty Seven - “Lotor’s New Hit Man”  

Doom Log File Title:  “The Would-Be Governor General” (Cossack’s Note:  Gee, think “Morgil” was a bit bitter?)

Summary:  A mercenary named Carp doing stunts buzzes past Zarkon, Lotor, and Mogor (who the royals were calling “Morgil” throughout this incident) and not only takes out the new attack force he was bragging about to the royals, but he also nearly runs them down and knocks Mogor flat on his ass.  (Cossack’s note:  “Morgil” was not very happy about that or the whole name slip-up if his long rant in the original file is any indication.)  When he gets out of the ship, Carp bows to Zarkon and boasts of his great skill.  Mogor gets ticked at his showing off and rudeness, tells him off, and threatens him, but Lotor and Zarkon are impressed and offer Carp a chance to fight Voltron.  Carp agrees and asks that if he’s victorious that he be made the new governor general.  Haggar builds a new robeast for Carp while Mogor sulks and makes some rude comments, but the royals ignore him while Carp zings him back.  Lotor takes Carp and the robeast to Arus where Carp attacks, taunts them, and leads them on a chase.  The Voltron Force is unable to hit or even keep up with Carp even with their lion head attack.  This impresses Lotor, and he calls him back to planet Doom to work on their master plan.  When Carp arrives he’s invited to a party where only elite officers are allowed—much to “Morgil’s” chagrin.  He voices some more doubts about Carp, but they all blow him off and call him jealous.  Carp smarts off to the commander a few more times and then returns to Arus to confront Voltron.  The battle goes well at first, but the Voltron Force gains extra speed that Carp didn’t anticipate and they destroy his robeast with their BS.  It explodes, and Carp crash-lands on planet Gloom.  A smug “Morgil” remarks that the governor general had a short career.

Notable Doom Highlights:  Carp is one of the best mercenaries we’ve ever hired.  It’s really too bad he crashed on planet Gloom.  That guy had personality.  Mogor was so uptight he could’ve used some lightening up.  Speaking of Mogor/Morgil, this was one Voltron incident he really got involved in.  Usually he kept a pretty low profile and just followed orders.  No wonder they replaced him with a more personable kind of guy like me, Cossack the Terrible!  Not only am I ambitious in conquering for the king, but I’m also great at parties!

Notes:  Nobody is sure why everyone called Mogor “Morgil” in this episode.  Rumors have said everything from that it’s an embarrassing middle or family name that he hates which someone found out about and told the royals so they could tease him with to that he’s got a talkative identical twin that filled in for him that day.  Oh, and no one is sure why Mogor sweats so much either.  If I had that kind of perspiration problem, I’d be looking into industrial strength anti-perspirant or at least a lighter uniform than pea soup green sweats.  Everybody was whining that day.  Lotor, the dullard son I never wanted, complained how I undervalued his skill; I think “dummy” and “coward” summed my POV very succinctly.  Then, Mor-whatever-the-Dark-Gods-convinced-his-mother-to-name-him whines about Carp.  You deserve to have your name butchered, Morgor-ga-gill-gee-goo.  Even Hagar whines about how she doesn’t do windows, the Yellow Pilot bitches about how slow his Lion is to Carp, and the Voltron Force squeals en masse about how their Lion Heads missed.  The only person that didn’t whine was me!  But I guess all the wine I drank that day helped.
