Invader Zim: "Mysterious Mysteries/Future Dib" (talkback)

[Killtacular]

Post here on your thoughts of the brand new Invader Zim episode that aired tonight at 9 PM EST!

[ssjvaporeon]

I loved it! I am so glad new episodes have begun to air again. I feel so bad for poor Dib though. At least we got to see more Professor Membrane!! ^_^

[Jimmy Kustes]

A brand-new ep aired at 9? I thought it was only on at 9:30..I guess I will have to watch it on Nick West!

[ssjvaporeon]

On the eastcoast it aired at 9:30. The same episode will air this Sunday at 1:00 PM as well.

[Killtacular]

Yes, I meant 9:30, sorry.

Mysterious Mysteries- I love the whole reenactment scenes. GIR as Stacy to keep his identity secret :D LOL. Everyone's crazy. And of course Dib has a big head.

Future Dib- This was also another great one. With the crazy monkey slapping Dib's hand and then attacking him was very funny. Gaz had many funny lines in this episode. From the puppy one to Gaz beating up the robot. Very very funny. Also, Dib has a big head.

I can't wait to see Door to Door/ FBI Waring of Doom. Eventhough I saw these already, I want to tape them and see if anything was edited.

Great Ep, especially the one featuring the Professor. I can't get enough of him, and He really seemed to have a heart, and I was a little soft there for him, (I'm a girl, I like those egocentric, save the world genius types) I mean he wanted the Kids on stage and it was like finally they were going to get some attention from Professor Membrane. Then someone had to go and throw their ice cream, *sigh* No free energy for you!
Good action in the latter story. For a while when I saw the titlecard I though maybe we'd see Dib, grown up, like the Dex Ego Trip thing, but this was classier; I still like the alt Dib from Zim's time travelling ep. Each one better than the last.
The MM story was cool too, I liked the host, though am unfamilar with the scar, was this in a previous ep? I've missed so many, I am not worthy.
I really love this cartoon, I mean the show in general I can't say enough about.
Yay Zim!

I have a question. When did everyone figure out that "future dib" was either zim or a robot? I knew it was zim/his robot when he said "yes, yes, it will be magical". :D

[Invader_Spooch]

I had a feeling that it was zim when he started telling Dib what "happened" with the whole time portal thing. It just sounded like how zim would say it. It was a great ep. I loved it when GIR called the monkey. anyone find it weird that the host of MM kept saying stuff like "were so cancelled" or "this is definitely our final episode"? its weird, considering Zim's fate. *sigh*

[Evil Dr. Reef]

I LOVE EARTH!!!!

Wow. Those were some great eps. "Future Dib" was my favorite, because of the Great Professor Membrane. Mmm... Super Toast...

[DanniB]

i loved the robodib! he has dib's body and voice but zim's mannerisms and rhetoric. poor dib, every episode makes me feel more sorry for his poor big head. At least we know that his dad loves him a little.


"oh yeah, we had a puppy"

[Andy Mancini]

Both episodes were really good. The parody of those paranormal shows in "Mysterious Mysteries" ("Sightings", "PSI Factor") was dead on. I also liked it when they kept on calling Gaz "Dib's scary sister".

The beginning of "Future Dib seem to have had the whole "Future Trunks thing" going on. I agree that they should do more with Professor Membrane.

Line of the night: "Nooooo!!!! Let's go watch the monkey".

[Jimmy Kustes]

I like the MM better. Both were great.

[atf487]

The whole squirrel thing was funny......

[Zorakfan]

And then the squirrel ate Dib's greasy head!

God, I love Zim. Hopefully if we keep watching Zim and get it decent ratings, those idiots at Nick might reconsider their horrible decision.

Gir! Call the monkey!

The scar - or the host, for that matter - haven't been in any episodes. It's just another of Vasquez's allusions.

I actually noticed something was off when robo-Dib was talking about how Zim "stopped him with his amazing power." That was definitely not something that Dib would say!

[Auggie Doggie]

It was a great episode. Both of the parts were hilarious and it was nice to see Membrane (or Roger Bumbass' character) get more attention.

[Chris Sanders MSX]

I knew it was Zim at the same exact point you did. "yes, yes, it will be magical" Not to mention when the robot was like I was over thrown by his might. I mean Dib would never compliment Zim like that. I don't know why Dib himself didn't catch on.

[nerium_oleander]

Yay I watched it again this afternoon and liked it even more. Plus the OTHER time travel Ep came on after it, Bad Bad Piggy, (or something like that).
Man this show is sheer genius. If I actually worshipped anything this would be it.

As for the moment I realized it was Zim I was listening to RoboDib's speech and the first time he refers to Membrane he calls him Dad, but the second time he said Membrane and I immediately was like wait a second, then he called him Dad again. But that one thing was enough to have me suscpicious, so when he said "Yes yes it will be magical," I was certain.

I'm still all for more Professor Membrane, he's the penultimate character of the show. Super toast. Mmmm. I hope he gets intergrated into ever episode left.


"Can mobile homes rampage?"
"It must be one of those new mobile homes."

[ssjvaporeon]

Yes, we finally got to see what the whole toast thing from the first episode was all about.

Geee... that is some SUPER TOAST!

[Jimmy Kustes]

Yes, YES, today's episode was magical. Got to love it when Gir made Zim watch five gagillion screens of classic cartoons for a whole year!

TACOS!!! If I don't get my tacos I will EXPLODE! That happens to me sometimes..

Yes. As it does to us all...

Based on the commercial for next Friday night's schedule, the episode of Zim that'll be on is the long awaited "lost episode." That's right - "Door to Door/FBI Warning." I was doubting for a while if they were going to ever show this ep, but the clip from Zim they showed on the commercial was from that episode. Let the rejoycing commence!

[Scythemantis]

The "yes, yes it will be magical" tipped me off too.

Just so you know, there IS an episode where we see Dib all grown up. It`s called "dib`s wonderful life of doom"... I won`t spoil it, but it is one of the completed ones. I feel so awful that the show is cancelled... Johnen might be glad to be back to comics, but most of the episodes were written by others who would be all for continuing the show (and Vasquez would trust them just fine with it)

In a message board chat with the voice of the red tallest (I just NOW can`t recall his name, don`t you hate when that happens?) he spilled teh beans on some episodes that will never get made... apparently, there was to be a full 30 minute episode called the trial, in which the "irken control brains" (new characters!) put Zim on trial for all his past actions. The episode had flashbacks to the tallests as children, and revealed that there was once an Irken taller than them that Zim accidentally destroyed (I`m not sure how) which explains why the current tallests are so afraid of him. There was also going to be an episode introducing "minimoose"... a little round floating...thing...with nubby antlers created by Zim as a weapon, but for some reason or other he`s unable to activate it, so for the remainder of the series it would just float around behind him/get played with by gir.

We will never get to see minimoose, the control brains, or the original tallest.

Listen carefully. As noted, Robo-Dib slips up by calling his father "Membrane" rather than "Dad" during his exposition. I'm surprised that, and the skittish mannerisms, didn't tip Dib off. Also funny to see Gaz in the end abusing and subjugating the robot...or, earlier, tossing a dirt clod in the MM host's face. And her puppy line was just...vintage Gaz.
Speaking of the host, did anyone else think the guy looked and sounded like a skinny James Avery? A pity Robert Stack is stuck doing v.o. on Butt-Ugly Fartknockers.... :rolleyes:

I hate NICK. :mad: :mad:

[Zorakfan]

...MUST CRUSH NICK....TALLEST COMMAND ME...

[ssjvaporeon]

Tallest Red's voice is Wally Wingert.

Mini Moose is going to show up. He will be in the Christmas Episode and the comic that Jhonen is making for the Nickelodeon magazine. <----- that will be magical.

[Zorakfan]

...again, they squat on the rights. Damn you, Nickelodeon.

Man, imagine the patience with Nick that Jhonen must have. I mean, they cancel his show, and he still does a comic for them? I'd have told Nick to shove it after they cancelled my show.

[nerium_oleander]

Arg!!!! To see flashback Zim destroying true tallest would have been the completion of my mission! Cruel fate. I shall have to crush the spines of these feebs at Nick.


Adult Dib should prove fantastical. I so loved the Career Day ep and Bill, pseudo adult Dib. While he looked totally bad ass, he was gone off a mars rocker! One of the reasons I love the Prof so much (note my new avatar) is because I can't help but imagine that he was at some point like Dib and he became like the greatest mind earth has ever known!


FBI Warning of DOOM!
Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
