I plan to make a series of posts about the TV Series Swat Kats some theories I have about Mega Kat City and the SWAT Kats and who would be the deadly villian. And a idea for two or three possible new episodes of the Swat Kats with a idea with Ms Briggs Growing to 500 feet tall.


Lately I was watching the TV Show SWAT Kats and I have noticed that I think that the the Swat Kats would not have been able to build the secret underground base and the Turbo Kat along with have a large supply of bombs and missiles by themselves even if they wanted too. Unless they had some help from someone who was wealthy and who had access to military hardware.


Another big aspect about the SWAT Kats is they do have military grade fire power and athe most powerful jet in Mega Kat City. But at the same time Commander Feral does get mad that they are vigilantes but at the same time he doesn't spend 24 hours a day hunting them down nor does he try to send someone to follow them back to their base.


If this was present society at the least someone would try to hunt down the Swat Kats if they were truly outsiders which would signal that someone with a lot of respect and power and who is in the government's military or who works with Enforcers would have to at least said something to Command Feral to give the Swat Kats permission to operate.


Also let's not forget the legal aspect of the Swat Kats flying around and blowing up stuff such as buildings and Kats getting killed or injured and tons of property damage. And them catching evil doers. Someone would have to have the legal aspects of the Swat Kats looked out after such as ether having insurance for the Swat Kats. And legally defending the Swat Kats in court angst the accidental damage they cause.


Also who ever it was would have had to have helped give Ms Briggs the ability to call the Swat Kats.

Also this official would also have the ability to get a team to work for them in secret or on their behalf to help give the Swat Kats the large amounts of weapons they need along with supplies.

But most of all who would pay for the fuel the Turbo Cat Jet would need to keep it flying. Such as if the Turbo Kat was based off a F 35 Raptor Jet it would burn though 22 gallons of fuel a minute and if it were to stay in the air for say 40 minutes to two hours that would burn up 880 gallons to 2,640 gallons of jet fuel in a mission.

And if Jet Fuel is currently 5 dollars a gallon but some places sell it for 7 dollars or even 9 dollars a gallon. Which for this debate it would be $4,400 to $13,200 a mission to fill up the Turbo Kat.

A Machinist makes between $40,000 to $80,000 so after 5 to 6 missions they would be broke based off of buying fuel.

So there would have to be someone out there who would ether be independently rich or who works for the government to help supply the Swat Kats with what they need.


And my theory for who that would be it would be Professor Hackle who really is the backer of the Swat Kats.

The reason for Professor Hackle is he has worked for decades with the military building experimental weapons. He also accidentally created several deadly monsters like the Metallikats who were pretty durable like the Swat Kats in their fighting ability.


Professor Hackle also appears to work for a big weapons industry and he is on call with the Enforcers and the Mayor. He also has a regret about the weapons projects he has worked on making live worse for Kat Kind.

And if he helped create the Swat Kats that would be a big benefit to Kat Kind.


But most of all he would pay for the fuel the Turbo Kat needs and get the Swat Kats legal protection along with have a large team of kats to build and repair their weapons and base.

So with that said I really think it's Profesor Hackle who is the Master Mind behind helping the Swat kats keep Megakat City Safe.

Long Term TV Shows have to have tons of Filler to keep going or they burn out by hitting their Sell By Date.


Movies made into TV Shows and Movies and even long term fan fictions with overlying plots and different character plots and even sires with a defined ending goal that go multiple episodes or even seasons also can be made worse by by the Filler Factor.

The Filler Factor also makes writing movie series with long term plots dead end shows that can also kill off their viewers if the Filler gets annoying enough that you never see any action or the characters never seem to do anything to reach their end goal.


The Show Lost had a long term goal of why are the people on this Island and why are they there and will they get off of it. The trouble is that this plot can only go so far maybe two seasons at best before you keep running out of plots. So you try to fill in things by having tons of filler with flash backs and at first they are good but then you reach a point where the filler starts getting stupid like main character learns that brother got turned into a half cookie monster half Chihuahua while on a trip to Jamaica and it makes no sense and adds nothing to why he is stuck on a island with his girlfriend in a chicken suite.


Another problem is in the case of the Walking Dead they have a goal of freeing a town or killing a bad guy or getting supplies. The trouble is action scenes are expensive and they have to make the show go for 10 episodes in otherwise would only be a 15 minute section in a movie so they try to add filler by showing characters moan and groan about their feelings or who is dating who and this type of filler can become like sitting in stop and go traffic in Northern Virginia were you watch it and it you feel like the taking is taking up space to fill a episode and nothing gets done.


When you take a heavy action based sires like the Avengers and Marvel or Starwars and make it into a TV show you have a very complex job of trying to balance out a underlying plot with a fixed ending with the reality of trying to keep a show interesting for ten or 20 episodes.


Worst of all if you have a show that becomes extremely popular and have no pre planned ending for the end goal. Studios can place a lot of pressure on you to extend a show another two or three seasons which often results with you jumping the shark and making your viewers look dumb or you bore them to tears with the filler talk.


Game of Thrones in the last season had about 3 to 4 episodes that were filler to the point they showed them sharping their swords in Winterfell for two episodes.


Another aspect about long term TV Shows is you can have a feeling were the characters are running around in circles like they seem to start at square one. A example is Land of the Giants a TV Show about little people trapped on a Earth were everyone is 12 times bigger then they are. The end goal of the show is to get off the Giant Planet and back to earth.

The trouble with this the characters have a case of 36 close cases of getting close to leaving the Giant Planet but they never seem to get anywhere towards this goal.

In case of Land of the Giants I would have shown them leave the giant planet on the second season. And if the producers wanted a third season I would have made it about some of the characters going back to the Giant Planet to rescue people or stop the giants from invading earth vs them being forever trapped on the Giant Planet.


One of the best long term shows that knew it had a sun set date was the modern Battlestar Balactica were they had the people find earth and the Cylons went peaceful and the humans had to rebuild on Earth.



When a TV Show is a 30 minute stand alone episode that you can watch with no underlying muti season plot line you can half a self contained plot that can at times require no filler.

A example is the Real Ghostbusters Cartoons and the Show Swat Kats where they were action based but didn't have to add tons of filler to make a episode plot last more then two episodes.

My little pony was also a good long term TV Show were they did show characters make big changes at the end of each season and started the new season with these lasting changes. It was good in that the over lying changes didn't pore concrete on the plot line sealing it in place long term.

Most long term term TV Shows can avoid the Filler by having a pre plan into when they want to end it and avoid listening producers to simply extend something without a long term plot.


As for the fate of Hazbin Hotel well it's going to go one of two ways under these Filler Rules Charlie is ether going to help demons find redemption early on or at the end of the first season. During the first season she will be trying to set up the hotel and will be meeting various characters and they will have plots about their back stories.

If it turns out to be a long term plot were no one finds redemption then you are going to have 5 characters show up in every episode and it will rotate back and forth between them and it will become a marry go around. As a character gets a Over load mad and they get captured and the others have to get them while something threatens the hotel.


If Charlie does get people to find redemption then in seasons two through four you could have a far more complex of characters show up trying to fix themselves. And you could have a character of the week with a back story and what they have to do to fix things. And have plots of the Overlords trying shut down the hotel due to the fact that if someone can leave the bad place that would cause a lot of overloads to lose their power. But you could also have a high rate of character turnover with characters that could show up for a few episodes and then leave by ether failure or redemption.

Lately I have noticed that Marvel and Star Wars have been cranking out a lot of TV Shows based off of Starwars and Marvel.

And as someone who does not watch streaming services I have noticed that watching the marvel movies has gotten kind of confusing were they show characters go evil or change their personality during a TV show but not in a big budget movie.


Doctor Strange the Multiverse of Madness was a example of this were I was supposed to Watch some TV Series before this movie or something which shows the Red Witch go evil or something.

As in the case of Star Wars what I have noticed is a lot of the TV shows seem like repeats of the other shows and I think that Disney should simply keep these big budget properties as movies on and here is why.

Every Movie and Storyline and TV show no mater how complex the universe it takes place in including my fan fictions and original story ideas and even my OC characters all have a Sell By or Sunset Date on them.


A Shows Sell By Date is when a show or a plot reaches the end of all the plots and storylines a show or universe can do that is new and fresh without getting dumb or getting cheesy or when they start reusing the same storylines over and over again. Or they have a character or villain do the same thing over and over again and it soon turns into a remix of the same thing.

Some examples of a Show going past it's sell by Date would be the Walking Dead where they dealt with the Governor and then Negan and then several other baddies. They never show them go on a Zombie Extermination to clear out the zombies like infestation. Nor do they show the Zombies having a sell by date years after the start of the plague. And the formula is someone gets captured or trapped and they have to get them back.

One of the Worst examples of a Show blowing past it's sell by Date is the Series Lost which started off cool for the first two seasons but then they started running out of things they could do on the island and it got hammy and strange.


They also tried making a Tumors TV Show


As for the original 2010 cartoon My Little Pony Universe they had they plenty of room for other storylines and ideas in the TV Show. They could have gone on two to three more seasons but they ended up slamming it into it's Sell by Date early by having the last seasons take place at a School building which closes off many possibilities for storylines. They also could have done a spin off series about the Seaponies and Hippogriffs were the ponies could have been not in it and it could have gone on for two to three seasons if it had good writing.


Also a show characters in a show can cause a show to hit it's sell by date earlier then it would have if they didn't give a character so much screen time. A example is the plots in the TV show Gotham only centered on the Riddler and the Penguin which caused the show to turn into a marry go round of one character getting the upper hand and the other one lying low and then it flipping.


As for how a Universe's Sell By Date works I will use several examples of why this law is Ruining marvel and Disney and how other TV Shows can be brought down by this and how even Hellva Boss and Hazbin Hotel are not safe from this Sell by date law ether.


The Rules of the Universe How Far can a Plot go before it runs past it's Sell By Date and as a plot reaches it's sell by date how complex is the universe or plot line it is in that can allow it to grow before it hit's it's sell by date.

I'm back from a 9 day cruise to Canada and two fun days on the New Jersey Turnpike.


So I will post some fun photos and I also took a ride on a two foot wide gauge train which I will use as a stand in for my Post Kitbashed Earth in Equestria.


I also came across the Original Theodor the Tug Boat Models and a giant model city in a Museum in Halifax Canada
