Hod (episode)

Hod is the 9th episode of the fourth season of The Dreamstone (and the 48th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 28th of February 1995.

Synopsis
Urpgor invents a rocket that will land silently in the Land Of Dreams, and assigns Blob and his men for a test run. Meanwhile Rufus and Amberley are making ideas for dreams, which the Dream Maker is placing into a Daydream Bubble for them to enjoy.

The rocket makes a success launch and parachutes high up in space, though it's landing is interrupted by a huge spaceship, which is forced into a slow decent into the Land of Dreams from it's weight. Zordrak refuses a retreval mission, believing it to be a waste of time and resources, and assigns Urpgor to make a new rocket from scratch, to his chagrin. The Noops investigate the ship, only to be sucked inside, where they are greeted by a timid Noop by the name of Hod. After demostrating the process he makes dreams from himself from left over bits drifting in space, the Noops go back to the Dream Maker for help.

Meanwhile the stranded Urpneys make their way through the ship and confront Hod. After a short scuffle, they capture him and attempt to hijack his ship. The Noops return (with their daydream bubble as a gift to store his dream bits for proper dreams) and trick the Urpneys into the bubble, sending them back to Viltheed. As the Dream Maker is aquainted with Hod, Urpgor discovers the incoming bubble, mistaking it for a surprise attack by the Noops and pops it, leading the trio to land right on top of him.

Well, at least we didn't get turned into frogs.
