All shows of the era did that. The attack on the Space Academy was enhanced by several impressive new shots (of drones flying low over the academy). I would compare the finale to the UFO episode "Reflections in the Water". Previous footage was used to create a rather spectacular battle. The first season model for Drago's battlecruiser was rather more impressive than the second season's. The longer eps in the second season provided the opportunity for better story-telling.

Maybe Drago's left behind his helmet because in season two Filmation was going to give him a new helmet design as they gave him a new Dragonship design. Albeit, they only gave him the new Dragonship. <br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.com
