Rgb was a great cartoon, I just think they should have had they're own packs, instead of reusing the packs from the movies.
And having the guy in the wheelchair was just a little forced...please, no offense anyone.

You might be a little confused. "The guy in the wheelchair" is Garrett from Extreme Ghostbusters. :garrett: The thread is about The Real Ghostbusters (1980's) cartoon. The equiptment in EGB is really different then the ones in the movies with one handed nutrona wands. While the RGB packs were much closer to the films pack in comparison to the EGB packs- they still had a lot of differences. Being blue, big red and yellow shapes, ghost trap attachments, PKE meter cords, and the number of cyclotron lights differ from the film to the cartoon.

And what exactly is getting "unicorned"? Correcting you? I felt I was being polite in my delivery and I wasn't talking down to you.

I think I've actually found a mistake in Ghostbuster Pseudoscience... In "Look Homeward, Ray", the spell cast upon the two ghosts in the house and the giant cat/dragon surrounded them in negative energy, as stated by Ray.

From my understanding, ghosts are already the personifications of negative energy. The Proton Packs work by sending out a stream of positively charged particles (i.e. Protons) that attract the negatively charged ectoplasm of ghosts, allowing them to be captured by the streams.

Now, that being said, I can see how surrounding the ghosts in negative energy would make them stronger, but...
  • 1.) If one was to assume that the addition of "negative energy" would just mean an increase in power of the negative particles in the ghost, wouldn't this increase the attraction between the negative ghost's ectoplasm and the positive streams, thus making them easier to capture than normal ghosts?

    2.) If the aforementioned stipulations weren't true and the increase in "negative energy" meant an increase in negative particles (resulting in a larger size ghost with more power) and there weren't enough positive particles in the proton stream to create enough attraction to capture the ghosts, then it works. The reason it doesn't is the way Ray solves the problem. Instead of finding a way to increase the output of positive particles to offset the increase in negative particles, Ray "reverse(s) the polarity" of the stream. This brings about two contradictions:
    • a.) This suggest that the Proton Packs were throwing negative particles, which contradicts the name "Proton Packs", as protons are positively charged particles, and goes against the pseudoscience of the packs:
      The Proton Pack is a man-portable particle accelerator system that is used to create a charged particle beam - composed of protons - that is fired by the proton gun (also referred to as the "neutrona wand"). It is described in the first movie as a "positron collider", and presumably functions by colliding high-energy positrons to generate its proton beam. The positive electric charge of the proton beams allows a ghostbuster to contain and hold "negatively charged ectoplasmic entities".


      b.) This would also cause the ghosts to be repelled (and possibly strengthened) by the streams instead of attracted to them!
This proves two things: Someone wasn't paying attention when they wrote that episode, and I am a massive nerd.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one to confirm this... And, as already mentioned, Winston becomes a white guy in this episode.

I'm not watching them at the moment but an easy one just came to mind. In the first episode the license plate on their car says "Ect 1" instead of Ecto 1. Anyone can spot that though. It's right in your face! ...if you have a face that is. :D

Faceless, you're right on, like he said.
And I wouldn't worry about the nerd part. Only a few here aren't OK with being one.

Thanks for thinking of us without faces !

I love being a nerd... b :D d

I don't know if this is an error or not, but in the episode involving Cthulhu, Cthulhu is colored red instead of green...

(I'm a big H.P. Lovecraft fan, so I noticed this instantly)

This is a different kind of mistake all together. This is more of a consistancy mistake. In the episode I think is called "Mrs Rogers Neiborhood", where the ghostbusters visit a haunted house and have an old lady stay at the fire house. It's the only episode with the 'fail safe' hand scanner for the containment grid and for some reason it's not in the rest of the series. Wierd considering this is in the first season.

This is another mistake that is about consistancy rather then miscolored ghostbusters. The episode is "Partners in Slime". Peter needs to pass himself off as a ghost. So they spread slime on him. The only problem is that Egon says he "collected it [the slime] last year after fighting Vigo..." But the slime is a mustard color instead of pink. If you guys want to check it out the episode is on the GB2 dvd (the double pack). Egon never says he modified or did anything to the slime to explain it's color.

The slime changed colored in that ep. At the very end, it turned like a redish pink...

Yeah I observed that. The thing is it was yellow the entire eppisode until the end when it turned a red. Dark red. No where close to pink. meh, whatever. :whatever:

Electron Pack, most likely...

Well, when two proton streams came together, there was a huge burst of energy (Though I don't think total protonic reversal happened in the movie, as the universe wasn't destroyed), probably due to the immense repulsion of the protons from each other... That being said, if there were an equal amount of electrons for each of the protons, maybe the streams would neutralize each other when they crossed?

We got one cartoon answer in "Janine's Day Off"--early in the episode, Venkman reverses the polarity of one pack to use against some imps, and it fails spectacularly.

Anyway, later in the episode, some ghosts steal some normal proton packs and chase Janine and the temp around. Janine gets alold of the pack Venkman modified, fired back, and the beams just cancelled each other out.

Doesn't that more or less count as crossing?
Hmmm. If you're talking about the the ghostbusters contacting streams with the ghosts in their old uniforms- those ghosts aren't shooting the same type of energy. So that might answer your question if that's what you're reffering to. Egon says "they have packs that shoot very destructive ectoplasm."

edit: WOOPS! I just noticed you're talking about the Sandman episode. I'll have to check that out. My bad!

animation got lazy is the answer to this - they used the method - that the slime 'mirrors your emotions' so most of the time it was yellow so you could see peters outline (covered in red wouldnt stand out that well) and it goes red at the end as he started getting angry - its a constancty error but they made up for it at the end

You're right. But we wouldn't be having this conversation if it turned pink when he was angry. :D

In the Halloween episode volume 1 2nd disc, Egon is in the street hooking the proton pack up to lights to shine up to the roof, its then cuts to the back view of the rest of the guys up on the roof, only its a back view left-to- right of Winston, Peter and Egon (whos still down in the street) then to an immediate front view right-to-left of Ray, Winston, Peter

Also in that episode in the shoe store, there is a whole sentance that ray says and his mouth never moves, lol

No - Joshua AD's correct for at least some of the episodes. I know in Season 1 (It might be Ghosts R Us - but don't hold me to that) the guys come up to a factory or store on a bust. They get out of Ecto and as they get ready to go in, they heat up the packs. There is a really cool animation that starts with lights coming on towards the top of the pack then pans down to the cyclotron. It starts spinning and the 3 holes shown (2 above the bumper and 1 below) turn red.
