space cops
8 guys on a ship__________________________________
Halstead : leader (kirk. big chin and chest. gets the girls. punches people well.)
Sal : fat mechanic. has two left legs, for fun. over fixes everything. likes to make small robots, but they die quickly and he is left horribly depressed. usually fixes ship engine and systems.
Rash : skinny mechanic. ratty dude. like trevor from Feebles. likes to build nipples onto everything. useful nipples/sockets. usually fixes ship robot.
Vrainy : Brainy scientist guy.
Brawn : brawn. huge mutated metroid looking guy. mongoloid. his small legs are strangely off center.
Harv : the heart of the crew. married with two kids. looking forward to a better life once he can pay for it.
Emal : femal communications officer.
? : work in a female pilot.
? : the new guy. he never removes his mask. is he a she? terrified of space rocks which could breach hull at any moment. secretly the offspring of OstrichDog and captain.
bro-shi : pilots the main cop ship. big bushy moustache, glasses, and drink in hand.
lanzor: the slimy sleaze guy. 
Bishi the Robot : Main swiss army knife style robot for crew. there should be multiple robots though. hiding out like forgotten dogs on the ship. trying to avoid being spare parts for sal.  and trying to avoid getting nipples from Rash.
Ostrich-Dog: the ship's mascot. -someone gets shot in one of the episodes, and investigation ensues. turns out everyone was having an affair with ostrich dog. (who witnesses the sensitive disclosure, sheds a tear and runs off).
Omish : the Commisioner Robot. has human legs, but robot body. so he must ride around in wheelchair hover device. used to be human? his robot grasp on his personality is slipping? as if the robot parts, being a majority, want to shed the humanity?


Opening Credits__________________________________
-Boot down into dusty terrain (first step for mankind kind of thing. also a crushing power thing).
-swarm of aliens, weaponless (arms flailing?) come over a hill.
-Cops kill them all (after tossing aside cigarettes and coffee and such?).
-Ship zooms by (star trek style). 
-Cop lights come into frame, chasing first ship.

General thoughts__________________________________
space pirates are the main enemy? busting thier secret hideouts and such.
space carnivals? all planets are ruled under a form of government which looks distressing like space carnivals?
planets are like a neighborhood the cops protect?
there are a lot of space cops but we just follow these guys?
basically star trek meets robocop?
they cruise in groups of little one man ships. one guy in a motorcycle. they often jump from their tron like ships and climb on hulls of normal sci fi ships during arrests.
these guys only deal with large scale crimes?
they have to protect people they hate in places they don't want to be, because they are hired.
we are in the aftermath of a utopian federation (broken up by : corrupt cops). our guys are trying to restore the old coolness of the utopia, which is impossible.
Always have fake intro summaries? two minutes from "on the last episode of SPACE COPS", which never happened. there are no multiple episodes, although we may watch "part 3" of a story, or end with a "to be continued" cheat, and show scenes from next week's episode which will never happen.


Episodes__________________________________

"Something's going to Destroy Space" or "postcognizance"
-they pull a guy over. rip him from cockpit. slap him in generic gov issue nonbending space suit (like handcuffs) to interrogate him. by the book cop interrupts and forces them to read him his rights first. he kills the brainy cop and tries to escape his suit. which is disastrous. so they are back at square one, except this time there are no good cops left and no one's gonna fuck around with reading him his rights. they're gonna beat the shit out of him for reasons so banal he thinks they must be on to his real agenda.
he starts to explain that which he knows is over the space cops' heads. "Moebius strip. Quantum fissicles. etc." then he dissolves. (or explodes? or dies horribly in some other way?). cops are embarassed and confused.

-Brainy Aliens. cops trying to forge way to a newly discovered race? (insert big rant about "we are PEACE OFFICERS"). (instead of "red shirt guys" from star trek, it should be obvious that anyone who tries to stick to the book and do things right is HIGHLY expendable).
Brainy aliens can see the recent past. postcognizants. they annoy the space cops by dramatically point out things they did 3 minutes ago. seems pointless and painful humor for audience. then alien's reveal nack for knowning what was in someone's head as well as physical occurences.
the cops have brief moment of intelligence and decide the postcognizants could explain why that weird guy blew up at the beginning before they could get his license and registration. the aliens are pleased to finally be taken seriously and ... they all dissolve/die as they try to explain it.
cops are frustrated and embarrassed.
the end. 


"lets get this particle started"
...


"(trauma)"
one guy gets demoted to beat cop. has to run radar space station at a dangerous asteroid belt. 
big chase. perp gets broadsided by a hyperspace ship. "radiation fucks him up" (??) 
cop just wanted to tell him his tail lights were malfunctioning, and he killed him. so he starts drinking ...
the big joke is that he is far more traumatized by his experiences as a simple cop than he ever was as a big time space cop.
hmm.

... more later.
