Nobody loves The Starfighters as much as I do. I will die on this hill.
As a refresher:
You can submit one to three screenshots in comments on each post.
If you’d ALSO like to throw in a favorite riff, choose one that’s relatively short. include the timestamp of where it happens in the episode. Ideally the riff should make sense when used in context with the screenshot(s) you’ve chosen. Riffs are optional, though, and if you’d rather just share screenshots, that is fine too.
All of this info will be collected and may be used in the Gizmoplex library! Your contributions are greatly appreciated, even if you can’t participate on every post. There’s zero pressure to do EVERY episode. Whatever you can do will help.

I have Starfighters ranked 33rd on my list, so I guess there’s room for someone to love it more than I do. Speaking of Starfighters, some love to the stellar host segments.
