Summary: The
Ghostbusters are out on a New England farm taking care of some ghosts for which they
were paid not only in money but pies as well.
They had Slimer with them so that means they didn’t get to bring any
home. While on the way home they get
lost and end up in a town called Nassburg.
Egon wants to leave right away, but the guys and Slimer get out and
explore a little bit. Slimer finds a
well and a plaque. Winston reads the plaque to reveal that Zedekiah Spengler had banished a dragon into the well in
1742. Egon was well aware of this but he didn’t think well of his ancestor because
he was a nut job who chose superstition over science. Egon then revealed Zedekiah may have gotten
rid of the dragon but he was also the one who summoned it in the first
place. He tells the crew to go but in
doing that his voice stirs the dragon.

| Loci the Dragon |
As they
headed home they were followed the dragon, who was immune to proton blasts and
abducted Egon. Loci, the name of the dragon let Egon go but the
next day he kept bringing Egon cars as a tribute. Egon scrambles through his ancestor’s
writings looking for a way to stop the dragon.
He finally figures out that it has to do with a piece of music. That is the magic spell that will put the
dragon back to sleep.

| Dragon's not bad just misunderstood. |
At first the guys try this with
regular instruments but Egon realizes the dragon has gotten too big for
that. Egon reprograms the packs to give
off the necessary vibration and they lead the dragon back to the well. Egon feels guilty because the dragon loves
him but the others reassure him that Loci was just going to sleep. They fire and send Loki into
hibernation. Egon goes down to check on
him one last time.
My Take: For all my fellow Game of Thrones fans. Egon is blonde in the cartoon and he is
bonded to a dragon. That can only mean
one thing: Egon Spengler is a secret Targaryen.
That’s a game changer for with that and his ghost catching skills he might
be able to restore his family and stop the white walkers.
Now for
my stray observations:
·
The Ghostbusters could sure use a GPS. All time periods before GPS must have sucked.
·
I love how Egon reacted when he saw the
sign. “It’s a bad town. You won’t like
it”
·
Egon sticks his nose up a magic for the
convenience of plot.
·
I thing Egon should have just kept and trained
the dragon. Over time he can be shown
not to take cars. Anyone who in the
meantime has a problem can eat fire.
Fun episode maybe in a time of
great crisis Egon could summon his dragon again.
