Original Airdate - July 22nd, 2002

Comments?

Fairly good episode, I liked seeing Bucky on the receiving end of trouble for a change, it certainly gave him new light on Ro and Zeta.

I just have one problem. after the numerous times Agent West has clearly screwed up over the course of the series, why isn't he just fired? Is there some sort of insurance policy that prevents this, or are they leading up to it, or is he just comic relief? (I know I would fired him.)

Later.

It was cool...I liked how Bucky tricked Agent West. (Which isn't very hard to do) And plus...Agent West was so stupid when he shot at Zeta...he missed...and depressurised the ship...dumb move, genius! It was pretty funny...the govenment's magnets that they used to hold on to the ship was pretty cool I thought as well...I give this episode four and a half stars.

I heard once (can't remember where) that West is the brother-in-law of Bennet's boss. Pretty good episode today, and for the first time, Bucky wasn't completely annoying. Wish I could make this longer, but I'm late for work!

[JusticeLeagueLegion]

You're right Imajine...Bucky was actually kind of likeable!

Anyone catch the 'Sentires of the Lost Cosmos' mention in this episode?

As for the episode - very enjoyable. The animation was the best I've seen on TZP. There were some sequences that were incredibly smoothe. The sequence where Ro falls out of that big ship, past the camera, looked very sweet. Some nice smoke effects also looks incredibly smoothe. As for the show itself, a good episode. Enjoyable. Nice to see someone finally catch up to Bucky...

I loved this episode! Bucky was so cute.

I have a theory that I recently got my sister to believe. Agent West is the son of either the President or the head of the Pentagon. How else could he keep his job after making so many mistakes and nearly killing half the NSA on numerous occasions?

Did anyone see what next week's episode is going to be? Because I didn't see the preview (if there was one)

I caught a priview during Static Shock. It looked pretty funny. Ro and Zeta hide out in an Amish-like community called Anti-Tech. They hate all forms of modern technology and, once they find out that Zeta is a robot, all hell breaks loose!

I wonder when the next batman beyond villians appear? I read that three season 2 episodes have batman beyond villians and only one episode has aired that has had a batman beyond villian in it. Maybe that person lied. Maybe there's only one episode with a batman beyond villian in it. I would like to know what happened to some of the batman beyond villians.

Why would that person, who was Robert Goodman, BTW, lie? It baffles my mind when people make these kind of comments - that the producers, writers, and directors lie to us. Besides, they didn't say how many BB villians would be appearing. "Brain Trust" has appeared, who were BB villians. And as for that "three episodes with Batman Beyond villians" came from, but that's false. I've interviewed Robert Goodman a couple times, and he never gave a specific number of episodes or BB villians that would appear in TZP.

Now, back onto discussion of this episode, please...

Sure did...that was cool...that video game West was playing didn't look very high tech considering it's the mid-twenty-first century.

I missed the first half of this, but I loved it when Agent Bennett found Bucky's remote control for Zeta. They should have done more with that. Like, maybe have an episode where the remote falls into the hands of a few wayward Jokerz or something. Anyways, nice episode from what I did see.
