First of all, I note that two KWB standbys are still in place: 1) The infamous "recycled stock footage" promos (one with Uncle from JACKIE CHAN getting nailed to a wall with spikes thrown by X-MEN: EVOLUTION's Spike, in the typical crudely animated glory...). 2) The KWB bumper with the logo and kids running amok on the CGI studio lot (and opening doors to various KWB shows, etc.) has what looks like a CGI Ralph the Guard at the beginning...unless I'm mistaken and its *really* a hard-hittin', all-action, "Heavy Duty Dubba"-type of security guard (who's secretly an x-treme sports-playin' secret agent with weird-looking playing cards that conjure up various strange creatures to be used to fight other creatures...or something...).
JACKIE CHAN:
The second season premiere (run out of order, from Belch's comments re: a Tohru episode this week), and it proved to be fairly entertaining. Apparently, we learn (among other things) that the former-dragon-statue-boy's really the "runt" of the litter of his brood (and in the dimension he's been sent off to after his defeat, he seems to be acting much like Boris did in front of Fearless Leader...); guess like Moe of the Three Stooges, he can act all blustery to Valmont and the Hired Goons (sounds like a music group) as long as someone more dominating isn't ordering him around ;-)
Um, not much else of yet to note, though I'd have figured that an astral-projected demonic dragon creature wouldn't have been subject to the old cartoon "can't break or change directions when barrelling towards something at high speed" gag ;-)
-B.
