RSTC: The Impossible Escape (Ending to "Stranded")

CAUTION, SPOILERS! From Roughnecks Starship Troopers Chronicles, the Tophet Campaign, episode 12 ("Stranded"). This is a scene that has stuck with me my entire life. The animation quality for this episode is rather below average throughout, but this and the following episode (Of Flesh and Steel) are some of the best-written out of the entire show, and are backed up by amazing soundtracks that really make you feel the emotional tension of the scene. In this case, the music really compliments the almost unreal, dream-like nature of the escape scene, which is probably the indeliberate result of rushed animation and reversed sequences, but has always been very striking to me. When I first watched this as a kid, I was actually convinced Lieutenant Razak was going to die, and his escape from otherwise certain doom as the landing pad collapsed towards the arachnids below was both awing and truly strange. The final few frames of the episode further the sort of unrealness, as we catch a ghastly glimpse of the Lieutenant's severed helmet in the sand on Higgin's recording after he sets his computer to erase it.
