It seems to me there are lots of instances of mind control in the series... NOS, the UPA helmet, Zurg's evil Unimind, Klerm's... brain thing (forget what it's called ^^ from Mindwarp, the parasites from Enemy Without a Face, Shape Stealer, Tangean mind powers (Angstrom making Mira forget what she was going to say, whatever Mira did to that Valkyrian, etc.) Seems to be a theme in the series, and I was just wondering what everybody thought of this. Was Disney trying to make some kind of point? Or is it all just coincidence?

Hmmm...
Well, BLoSC makes a point of parodying other sci-fi, and the cliches in it. It's kind of a running theme. Mind-control is a common sci-fi cliche, so they use it a lot. To great effect, IMO.

Ah, okay...
Lol, like 42. ...The number, not the character.

I honestly like Mind Control as a plot device thing.
It kind of gives a good reason for why a character would be acting OOC. (i.e. XR bending to NOS's will and Buzz being an office drone X3)

Well, technically if they're mind-controlled they're not... them anymore so...

It's also great reason why a character would be acting OOC even if the original writers DIDN'T plan it that way.... I have to totally pretend Anakin Skywalker is being mind-controlled every time I watch ep. III. D: LOL

We're all being slowly but surely mind-controlled by everything we watch on tv. Everyone wishes to take over the world.
Back to subject!
Yes, mind control is awesome cause it can make characters OOC! Mind control in Fan fiction!
