Recent addition to opening-title sequence

Somewhere between the Civil War reenactment episode and the Kidney episode (I can't tell exactly where -- my tape of the eps between them is loaned out), a new element was added to the already-image- heavy opening title scene. In the wide shot of the whole town, there's a long, red, Independence-Day-movie-type spaceship, or similar thing, in the sky at the upper right center.

What the hell is it? I don't remember anything like that. And as we all know, most everything that gets added to the title sequence is something that's been featured in an episode.

No, this one's a totally different kind of spaceship from that one. Episode 1's spaceship is a silverish-gray flying-saucer-type thing. This one is red, vaguely oblong and platform-like, and it doesn't show up until some of these most recent episodes.

Also, have y'all noticed that they're now throwing God at the South Park sign at the end of the sequence?

Possibly the Mir space station from the zombie episode ? (episode title escapes me)

That would be the "Sally Struthers" Spaceship. The Starvin Marvin ep I believe. "Mark Tangard" wrote in message news:[email]...

Still the wrong shape and color. (SM's ship was gray/green with several long arms.)

But, just noticed: It IS the same color & (sort of) shape as what swoops down to kill the newly-undead Kenny at the end of Pinkeye (Halloween #1).

It's Sally Struthers' Tiderian junker, which is the favorite ship of the Hutts...

I think that this is the ship that Sally Struthers used in Starvin Marvin in Space ('Tiberian junkard??) - it is probably on Willie Westwood's secrets pages anyway!

You'll find them on the Going Down To South Park page; <i>The junker and the Missionary 600 from "Starvin Marvin in Space" hover above City Hall.</i> Well, the junker, Sally the Hutt's ship, hovers, the Missionary 600 floats by below, behind the Jakovasaurs.

The weird, glowing red thing was Moses "from the Jew scouts episode).
