Aw . . .

I can't wait until next week's story. Greg and Rose . . .

As in the shot of Greg and Rose's portrait while he was giving his "believe in me" speech.

Because it is a children's show, "Jack vs. X9" never mentions the obvious —

Because TV executives are wealthy but insecure.

In "Marble Madness" Peridot talked about having to "report" Steven. That implies someone else at least equal to her in authority.

Chickens don't have charisma? Gonzo would have a word with you.

There was also a run where the other teams didn't show up, so Charlie Brown's team won by default.

The pacing seemed off. Contrast it with the episode of Pearl's space trip, or "Ocean Gem," and it seemed too fast: not enough time given for reaction and wonder.

I have reservations about this episode. The pacing seemed too fast for me.

He also eliminated press censorship.

It's a slap in the face to car commercials?

Khan!!!

Yum!

Unfortunately, _post hoc ergo propter hoc_ rules the day. First he gets quasi-involved with Scientology, and then his roles go downhill.

The "family way" is another innuendo, I'm afraid.

Greg's first words in the episode: "Steven, I'm slipping!"

I hated it, back then. "Fraggle Rock" talked about war! Drugs! Feminism! and the cartoon was . . . how to read a map?!?

Satan spends Paradise Lost going into the most interesting places, but he talks and thinks only of himself. He rigs an election and seeks to harm two creatures who had never injured him.

Billy and Mandy started out with a midnight-black sense of humor and a wonderful taste for the absurd. In its later days it slipped into Fred Fredburger and fart jokes.
