Annie is an alien

from some distant planet. That's where she must have gotten her panty-flashing skills. Anyhow, my mother sent my brother to wake me up in time for Shaider, among other things. Yesterday's episode was "Tatlong Misteryosang Babae," wherein teenage girls, sirenas from the planet Marina, come to earth after Lay-Ar has captured their planet. They're the last of their kind, and Lay-Ar wants to get rid of them. This is the second consecutive episode that involves some sort of intergalactic conquests, and all those who have been Lay-Ar-ed somehow land in continental Tokyo. It's all so Smallville to me.
