Alfred J Kwak/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: The Evil Spirit Of Darkness from the two-parter "The Strange Bottle" and "Flying Carpet" is an evil genie who terrorized the land long ago for fun, causing droughts, floods, storms, plagues, and fires, destroying cities and killing many people. After The Almighty One sealed the spirit inside a bottle, the spirit vowed that when it was freed, it would kill whoever freed it to spite the god who punished it previously, before returning to its homeland to terrorize the people once more. When Dolf and Alfred free the spirit, it tries to eat Alfred despite the fact that he is a child.
  • Ear Worm: Both the opening and end tune are still anchored in the collective memories of Dutch tv-watchers.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • The death of Alfred's parents and all of his siblings at the start of the second episode.
    • When the Chess Queen forever gives up her ability to come back to life just to be able to see the sun come up.
    • When Alfred and Paljas have fled a planet inhabited by one crazed robot, Alfred looks down from their ship to see the robot with its arms stretched out to them and wonders if maybe it just was lonely and wanted to keep them as company.
