"My name is John Blackstar, an astronaut. A gravity wave hit and I got swept through a black hole. Now I'm lost in some other universe, on this planet - a magical world - full of strange alien life forms. Listen, please: is there anyone out there who can hear me? I'm being hunted by a cruel overlord ... doing everything I can. I'm just looking for a way home."

(FS fans, please forgive me.)

Ah, Blackstar. In many ways the ur-He-Man, and heir to the rich pulp tradition of lone astronauts stranded on distant worlds. At 11, I didn't know any better; but now, thanks to the wonder of the Internet, I can see with adult eyes just how bad the animation was, and how silly the characters and stories were.

I call the Scorpyesque character!

Hmm, that sounds a lot like the opening credits monologue for Farscape by John Chriton.
