I set that up OK so far, I think. Hopefully what I have will be interesting. I re-put the first one in the correct area.

That's the secret to life right there....always put the right stuff in the correct holes.

Good idea, 'chutes!
That way, when I have the time, I have an easy one stop source to collect them all for the Main Page.

Absolutely! We file clerks live by that motto.

Anyway:
A thought occurred to me tonight - are Bob & Mark fond of Mexican cuisine? Is that why they made Kim & Ron's favorite fast-food hangout a "Bueno Nacho" restaurant? I don't recall them ever mentioning that in any of the on-line chats or interviews I've read. Still, I'm curious as to why they made the choice they did.

You know........................that's a good point! Why did they choose a fast food Mexican 'cuisine' outlet as their favorite hangout?

Another little detail: While watching my DVD of Showdown at the Crooked D last night, I noticed something I missed on previous viewings: In Joss's bedroom, to the right of the staircase, there's a giant naked mole rat pillow/TV viewing rest sitting on the floor. I'm amazed that after all this time, and countless viewings, that item never caught my eye until now....

Here's a thought, coming to me whilst watching "Hidden Talent:"

Could the "bottomless chasm filled with water" () be the same pit that Drakken used in "Tick Tick Tick" as his otter shark pool?

Also, if Shego's going to weld the box shut with Kim inside, why go through all the trouble of the pit and the wildlife and the ice? Let it sit between thirty and ninety minutes, and Kim will neatly suffocate inside the box.


---

All in all, "Hidden Talent" is one of those amazing grand-slam KP episodes. The animation is detailed (particularly in the hands!), the plot idea is darkly intriguing (weaponize KP by taking over her CIC), and the humor simply does not stop.

"Please, Bonnie, I just had lunch."

"Can we get ze boy some pants, here?!"

"Wait, if the chasm is bottomless, how can you fill it with water?"
"IT'S VERY VERY DEEP, ALRIGHT?!!"

I must also mention, that missing glove was an *insanely* long walk to a Michael Jackson sight gag. Props.

Also,

THIS.



YES.

AND.

Doctor D and Shego are big fans of the villainous schemes that ran rampant back during the glory day of Adam West's Batman TV series? Nobody said death traps for the heroes have to be simple and clean (actually, I think Shego might have said something along those lines during the Janitor Joe episode)... Hey, at least Drakken didn't rig the wildlife to explode too.

Looking back a few months ago...

As for music for it... There's always Yakety Sax. Of course that song might be better suited for a video showcasing the low points of Drakken's criminal career.

I never did get around to stepping out of AMV retirement to make that , but I guess finding this will have to do.

Of course, Kim had her breathing apparatus and laser cutter with her in the box, so she could have escaped anyway.

These last few days while riding between city & suburbs on the train, I've substituted reading my KP "Cine-Manga" books for doing crossword puzzles. I've found it puts me in a better mood - especially considering that I get up at 5 AM local time in order to be downtown by 8:00.
