Can anyone say 'Joygasm'?

I know I can! Do a little dance, watch a little zim, play RE tonite, play RE tonite...

*review coming up later*

That...that was incredible. I'll post a review later when the thread gets bigger(I'll just edit this post), but I have a new favorite episode. But let me ask.....Was this the series finale?(If so, OF COURSE it had to end on a cliffhanger...)

EDIT: OK...Man, this was good. Very excitng and very, VERY funny("And I'm....Uhuhuh! I dunno!"), plus Tak and Mimi were the greatest new characters the show's EVER had.(What's sad is that I'm sure they would have returned if the show was still in production, as Tak screamed that she wasn't done with Zim yet when she vanished.) Oh, and who did Tak's voice? She sort of sounded like a mix of Gir and Gaz, only really high-pitched and fast with a strange accent.

Every Zim episode must have parts that defy logic, so I'll pick a few: Tak giving everybody hundreds of weenies(Along with that girl happily screaming in a man's voice "WEENIES RULE!" as she gets devoured alive by living weenies), and Ms. Bitters sending the students to the "underground classroom".

A+++.

=D AYIIEIEE! *dives online, tackling several people in her way*

That episode made me so happy that I cried for like, 3 hours. Shhh...no need to point out its only 2 minutes after the show ended...

Innnn any case, yes. That was probably the best episode IMO. Tak was a great character and oh-so-full of fanfic foder. =D Look out Zim/Dib yaoi slash fics!
*cough* A-hem.
It had humor. It had romance (kinda). It had action and suspence and a great ending. The drawings were crisp, and the characters were, as usual, wonderful. The only problem was that Gir didn't have enough lines...but the few he did have were funny. =D Oh God, I hope there's some sort of conclusion! Dib needs to go visit space..erm...again!
*runs in circles* EEEEE!!!! -(^O^)-

No, this was originally the season 1 finalle, but there are still a few more episodes before this to be shown. This episode was by far the best of the best. The comedy and action never stopped and it just got better as it went along. Mimi the cat was very very cool, the way she was so slick and never says anything. The ship landing in the end would have led into season 3 when Dib goes after Zim in space. Sadly, we'll never see this

. Gaz dancing at the end with Gir was also very funny.

What will the Season 2/series finale be?

That will be episode 27: The Most Horrible Christmas Ever (that's right, it's a Chirstmas special

)

**Majin_Megabyte** · 05-10-2002, 10:43 PM

This is my fave episode of Zim follow by all the other episodes in a tie. If you guys notice my new avater is Tak. Gaz,and Gir dance scene is hillouris.

**Zorakfan** · 05-10-2002, 10:48 PM

Too good for words. It's THAT good.

...however, I will say this:

"I accept your affections and choose to be your love pig.
...FEEL HONORED!"

"Your head smells like puppies!"

"YAY! BRAINS!"

"Only if you'll dance with me!"

My eyes, how they cry. WHY WAS THIS SHOW CANCELLED? It is GENIUS! Best episode yet. Nay, best 30 minutes of TV ever in the recent history of Television. KIMOCHII DES YO!

"You're here to steal my robot bee!"

**DanniB** · 05-10-2002, 10:52 PM

I must say, tak was AMAZING!~

I like how she was just as nuts as zim, just better prepared and took a little more time to think about things.

Mimi rocks!

And yes Patrick star was right about the second and third (but saddly cancelled) season. poor zim, I wanted to see dib go into space.

did i say mimi rocks already? well she does!

**Chris Sanders MSX** · 05-10-2002, 11:02 PM

This is seriously depressing... they give us a great episode like that and then they canacel the series. I hate TV. EVERY SHOW..I've grown attatched to within the last 2 years has been canceled !

**nerium_oleander** · 05-10-2002, 11:43 PM

"This has nothing to do with Jelly!"

Brilliance, but you expect anything less? Every ep is better and better and while I'm peeved about the order swapping, I totally dig how the animation is getting streamlined.

I noticed it most with Dib in a sliver of Planetjackers, then recently with MM, and Furute Dib, and then Majorly in Chickenfoot and tonight it was just stellar, I love how styles evolve subtly as a show progresses. The outlines are getting thicker, the characters are becoming very consistant with looks and expressions, and man Dib's hair looked extra cool tonight

I was tripping when the Prof was having coffee talk with Zim, dear GOD that was funny. And when Gir all but kissed Gaz, and when Tak kept beating Zim up.......

What was up with Dib looking all eeeeevil at the end?

**Andy Mancini** · 05-10-2002, 11:56 PM

Yes, I agree that that was a great episode. It was neat to see all four main character actually work together for once. Here's a couple of thing I noticed:

- Tak's looks, mannerisms, and characteristics bore more than a passing resemblence to Johnny the homicidal maniac.

- This episode was closer in nature to Mr. Vasquez's comics than any episode thus far.

- My distaste for Nick is surpassed only by my utter disliking of terrorists, Neil Young, and Fox for cancelling "Futurama" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe". I want to see the third season, darn it!

**Zorakfan** · 05-11-2002, 12:53 AM

AHA! I knew I wasn't the only one getting heavy vibes of Johnny off of Tak. And yeah, this episode oozed Jhonen. That's why it kicked the proverbial ass.

Many times.

SO VERY MANY!

NOOOO! MY BEAUTIFUL BASE!

**chibilain** · 05-11-2002, 01:27 AM

Yup. The boots, for one thing, were totally Nny.
And they canceled Andy Richter? Fox just keeps damning itself...
Ugh. If Nick didn't play Zim repeats as well as SpongeBob, I'd so be boycotting them. But then again, I'm not in the right age demographic for them to give a damn....>~< *mumurs*

**Chibi Kageboshi** · 05-11-2002, 01:45 AM

1 complaint is that i would have liked to seen gir fight that other robot :\

**Scythemantis** · 05-11-2002, 02:07 AM

Gir kissing Gaz was hilarious and very cute. Everything else i`d say has already been said by others here... best ep ever! (so far)

But where did you hear of a season 3? The order was forty episodes and a series finale was planned for the end of season 2...
