Dungeons & Dragons - Episode 24 - Odyssey of the Twelfth Talisman

[@gez1999]

Discovered not long ago that the composer for the series, Johnny Douglas, lived into his 80's and had a house not far from where i went to college. If only I'd known at the time! The score for D & D is outstanding.

[@RazrWing]

thank you we never knew who he was another great composer ahead of his time almost same vein as Basil Paldoris, Jerry Goldsmith, John williams , Trevor Jones, Howard Shore James Horner and Hanz Zimmer thanks again

I just got his Album recently The Johnny Douglas Strings - On Screen. It has a beautiful version of the D&D end titles.

[@kennethturner8290]

It's much the same score for every episode, but it was definitely a good one for the 1980s.

[@jamesbullock9209]

Corlocke vs. Venger; Frank Welker vs. Peter Cullen; Megatron vs. Optimus Prime. These guys are voice acting legends!!!

[@jackjackson3878]

This episode was have been meant to link in with another ... At the end . Corlocke changes his form due to being good. I think its a hint at what lies ahead for Venger if he became good. Dungeon master cares and knows alot about Corlocke very well . maybe he too was one of dungeon masters children or friend who fell into evils hands. This really left the episode with a cliff hanger..

[@manofsan]

What happens to Corlocke at the very end, while he's standing with DungeonMaster? Does he get "healed"/transformed from a mis-shapen man into a healthier, more handsome one?

[@nicholaslawrence6926]

Dungeon Master should have said: "All things are possible for those whose legs are free of pants."

[@johnmcgilvery759]

I love it, when Venger calls people a "Fool." We got a double dose of Fool, in this episode! I wish we had as much Gemini, in Thundar The Barbarian, as we do Venger, in Dungeons & Dragons.

At this time Eric was so lucky to have a friend.

[@WesterosWolf]

Great episode and one of my favorites! Eric and Lorn really are intriguingly similar in terms of attitude. In another life they could have been brothers no doubt. At it heart, it is a reminder that great power has grave prices and in the end is meaningless compared to not having what really matters.

the new kid with the talisman looks like an 80s Anime male protagonist (ala Robotech, Megazone 23, etc)

[@nicholaslawrence6926]

Actually, it's nor surprising. The animation for this cartoon franchise was done by a Japanese company. Lorn definitely looks anime-ish. He looks like a younger Jayce from the Wheeled Warriors cartoon. In fact, Eric looks quite Asian as well. I've always wondered if Eric is supposed to portray a spoilt Asian rich kid.

[@lampshade8818]

I only saw her leg disappearing (good observation)- I couldn't spot the others.

[@xaenon]

glitches like this are common in production-line animation.

[@bozanimal5576]

Each animation cel was hand-painted in layers and, occasionally, these mistakes happened as the studio put in late hours and/or was short on budget and staff. Hand-drawn animation is time-intensive, and at the time was done at twelve frames per second, with each frame being photographed twice. At 13,000 frames per 20 minute show, you'll find a lot of animation is recycled between episodes. With all those frames of hand-drawn and painted cels, it's not unusual to find these kinds of mistakes. You've got a keen eye!

[@bozanimal5576]

When the party is doing so bad they need the Dungeon Master to come in as a deus ex machina to save them.

For the 3rd season, this isnt a half bad episode. More mature than previous entries. Pity this is from the 2004 DVD release with the incorrect music cues. The 2008 release got them right.

[@TF80s]

Which part has different music?

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

@@TF80s When Dungeon Master catches the Talisman and saves everyone. In the original airing that moment had a "da da DAAAAH!!! musical cue, a heroic moment. Here its replaced with ho-hum background music. The same thing happens in Dragon's Graveyard and Child of the Stargazer. Heroic music is edited out for slower, blander choices. The 2008 DVD has the original music restored.

[@DV80s]

The brown case set has slightly fuzzier graphics and a grayish film over the cartoon compared to the red box. The red box has the incorrect music near the middle of many of the episodes.

[@travisdonaldstanley6420]

It's not a bad episode. The last three have been bad.

[@marlawhite1430]

So...what exactly happened? They never destroyed the talisman, Korlok went from evil to pitiful and then...what? It's like they cut some essential dialogue for time.

[@Miketar2424]

The episodes were heavily edited to be child friendly. For example, in "The Dragons Graveyard" Uni was supposed to be killed, and then later revived. But it was obviously thought that kids could not handle that, and so she was just "hurt". Whatever was cut was probably not kid safe, or mother approved.

[@Tee-Dot-Tv]

Yeah I must admit this episode was shake at best and would never air today. There were loads of mistakes, but then again its just a cartoon.

[@dirdib69]

I think the implication was that he had been warped by his quest for power, even visually. At the end, it looked like there was some "curse breaking" effect on him and he transformed - I guess back to his "normal" appearance.

Was this in the dvd set release??

[@DV80s]

Yes, first in the early 2000s in the UK, soon-after in the USA in a red box set, but the red box set has a problem, many of the episodes have the wrong music near the middle of the episodes. Then there was the brown case that corrects the music problems from the red box. The only problem with the brown case versions is that the graphics are a tiny bit more fuzzy and there's a grayish film over the cartoon compared to the red box. I know cause I edited the episodes and I picked the best graphics and audio from each box set.

[@johnsmoke1785]

"We don't have time for "Heroics" (2nd lvl spell from d&d 3.5) barby" Yeah, if you waste your standard action talking to much, its your problem. If you hadn't talked so much, you would still have your standard actions to cast "Heroics"..^^

The kid wanted a couple loaves of bread for the talisman. The only thing the idiot guy seeking the talisman needed to do was give the kid those loaves and he'd have had the talisman without all the drama.

[@humbaba2762]

every episdoe was written different writers. maybe that s why every episode not so good.

[@DV80s]

The 3rd season is pretty awful. I have been a fan since the original broadcasts and when I saw the 3rd season back then, it bothered me cause I could tell the stories weren't as good as the 1st and 2nd season. Michael Reaves wrote some of the great 2nd season episodes, but he seems to be on auto-pilot writing crappy stories for the 3rd season. There's also another writer, a female, that wrote some very childish episodes like Cave of the Fairy Dragons and Citidal of Shadow with Venger's crappy-looking sister.

[@EndPoliticalCorruption]

@@DV80s If it's a writer with a decent track record, then I'm inclined to chalk it up to process, as in, not enough time (and hence money) dedicated to script rewrites/editing. Cutting corners as the show winds down.

[@barret-xiii]

Indeed. Provides no assistance in battle, no benefits whatsoever to adventuring in general, doesn't even help much with characterization of the main cast aside from giving Bobby a lame excuse to be even more annoying if she goes missing or gets hurt, has most annoying "voice" possible, and they felt the need to have it "comment" on EVERYTHING that happens and to scream during perilous moments far more often than the rest of the cast. This episode was the most egregious so far, by giving it so many reactions to everything that happens, even when not on screen! Even Scrappy-Doo wasn't this bad! Even if they were usually detrimental actions that got others into trouble, he was at least capable of DOING things. Uni is just... there!

[@EricT3769]

Maybe, but Uni does save Presto by using his own hat to create a flying carpet to save him and a baby dragon from falling in “PRESTO Spells Disaster”. Uni also provides a distraction among the Orcs to help Sheila return everyone’s weapons in “In Search of the Dungeon Master”. Not completely useless.
