It is revealed that Pandarus is a descendent of Pandora, of the Greek myth "Pandora's Box". (edit) This was the thirteenth episode of season two to air in the UK, on 23rd January, 2007. (edit) This season, Eli Pandarus is more willing to destroy anyone who crosses him, unlike last season, when he has his lackeys do it. (edit) Spud is shown as a baby in this episode (edit) Credits: Spud takes an ink blot test. (edit) It is revealed to viewers and everyone around him (excluding Jake and Trixie, who already knew) alike that Arthur P. Spudinski is an academic genius. He was afraid that if he showed this, his life wouldn't be fun anymore. However, we have been clued in by his philosophic moments he has every once and awhile. (edit) Eli Pandarus's new animation includes two points of now-blondish hair pointing NE/SW in season 2. (edit) Eli Pandarus returns (edit) Dragon Training Secret 214: You Never Know Who's A Mastermind (edit)

Spud: Thanks for walking me to my first day geniusizing.
Trixie: There's no place I'd rather be right now. Except on a date with Kyle Wilkins!! I'd sell my own mama down a river for a date with Kyle Wilkins. Okay, I mean if fine was a crime... (edit) Spud: (Being a mime) I'm stuck in a box. This box has four walls. I can't get out...I'm starting to panic!!
Jake: Okay, mimes don't talk.
Spud: I'm just a beginner!!! It takes years before you can create a wall without talking, years!! (edit) Spud: Yeah, well I'd love to help you save the magical world and all... but I start my internment at the genius institute tomorrow.
Gramps: Genius institute? You? (Starts cracking up) Spud!!? (Continues to laugh and talk in chinese) (edit) Gramps: Only direct descendents of Pandora, are capable of controlling the evil locked within.
Spud: Hmm...Pandora, Pandarus. Pandora, Pandarus...
Jake: Spud, you think they're related?
Spud: No actually I was thinking those would make good names for a brother, sister team of crime fighting pandas. But related...yeah I'll go with that. (edit) Eli Pandarus: Now, all I need for you is to finish the code, and I'll finally have army to take the magical world!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA!!!
Spud: Really good evil laugh dude. Ooh, chills. But what makes you think I'm gonna help you! MUHHAHAHAHA!! My laugh of evil needs a little work. (edit) Spud: (As a mime) I'm throwing a brick. (acts as if he is thorwing a brick) It's having no apparent effect. (edit) Professor Rotwood: And, begin! Now remember, eyes forward, number 2 pencils only, and if you are in need of the restroom facilities, too bad for you! (edit) Spud: Eli Pandarus! But aren't you like, totally evil?
Pandarus: Again with the flattery! (edit) Pandaras: There's nothing more exciting then the execution of a plan to take over the magical world!
Spud: I think I'll have to take your word on that. (edit) Spud: What? In my book, A clean Toe, is a happy toe, ha ah! (edit)

Apparently, Spud's dad is really strict. (edit) Goof: When Trixie takes off her belt to use to swing to where Pandarus is her belt reappears on her pants while she's swinging with her belt. (edit)

The way Jake and Trixie entered Pandarus' fortress is the same way as The Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion did in "The Wizard of Oz". Also, Jake's tail was sticking out of his disguise, just like the Lion's. (edit) The title of this episode is an obvious reference to the 2001 movie, "A Beautiful Mind" (starring Russell Crowe), which was also an adaptation of a 1998 biography of the same name. (edit)
