· During the entire episode "Cold Slither," the sounds and voices are like noises heard in an empty room. Also, when the Action Force dubs are created, you can hear the UK and the original US voices at the same time (170 kb)...and just imagine how horrible the Average Joe (Force) song sounds at the end of the episode
