Weird Old Dub Stuff

Were the “lost episodes” dubbed later than the rest of the show? I was under the impression that FUNimation dubbed them first, but simply held off on releasing them until after the rest of the show already aired.

Yeah that stood out to me on my recent rewatch. But honestly the scripts and baughmans pan felt a bit off from what came before .. er... Later in the "lost episodes" dub.

Baughman's Pan, I've never really liked much, tbh. While I wouldn't call her bad & I didn't hate her, I kinda prefer the new VA from Super Hero.

Same. Her line delivery was always just kinda weird to me. I mean a lot of the cast was back then but I guess since she wasn't really putting on much of a voice it made it more apparent or something?

Definitely were because like the performances lined up much more with the end of the Shadow Dragons arc with Chandler being much less.. dry, flat and edgy in his narration being a good tell. And Elise Baughman's Pan sounded a bit higher pitched suddenly during the episodes they original dubbed compared to before where she was like... trying less to sound so forcefully youthful I guess?

One thing we can give the Blue Water dub credit for is casting age appropriate roles. Caitlynne Medrek was 13 and Zoe Slusar was 14 when they were cast as Pan and kid Goku respectively.
