D)All...for these reasons, in my opinion:

A)'36 FG, first serial in trilogy, was presented in several kingdoms (diversified), followed A.R.s comics reasonably well for awhile, overall acting was most intense in this serial, good swashbuckling/action, mythological influence, romantic triangles, monsters, great costumes, a humorous Vultan, many good friendships made. Hmm...gotta mention the charms of Dale and Aura. Something for everyone though in this 1st outing.

B)'38 FG (Mars)..best coherent story overall (nitron lamp), lots of lab gadgets..sparking machines, etc. Cool stratosleds and squadron costumes, advanced "stuff" eg light bridge, vacuum tube subway, there is a crazed Ming showing near end of serial, but,...who can forget Tarnak. Could have been less of Forest Kingdom, but if anything, let's not forget...uh, uh...oh yeah!--the "Incense of Forgetfulness."

C)'40 CTU..Best music overall in my opinion, lots of rocketship action/battles, a refined Ming in updated costume..cunning and more evil than ever. Though Barin, Aura, Dale were replaced..the replacements acted well. I felt Carol Hughes was charming in her own way as Dale--and Capt. Torch, Sonja were indeed welcome additions. Great intro method to each chapter..ship circling mountain with scrolling Foreward.
