    Kim must find a new mission outfit while studying for the college application test and busting Drakken's new world domination scheme. hide show

    This episode was kind of funny. Kim ripped her mission clothes while fighting with Shego at the beginning of the episode. When she went out to buy some new ones, she discovered they weren't sold anymore and she would be unable to wear them. She tries out new outfits designed by her dad and her brothers, but they either explode or fail. It was funny watching Shego and Drakken rolling on the floor laughing at Kim trying to stop them. Kim is so desperate to find a new outfit she even goes to the prison to ask the fashion group she threw in jail. They designed her an outfit, but they refused to make it for her because she wouldn't bust them out of jail. On top of all that, Kim even has to tour colleges. It was kind of funny watching her parents silently argue about which college she should attend. They both wanted Kim to attend the college they attended when they were her age. It was funny how Kim's dad was remembering the chemistry lab. He told Kim how it was the first chem. lab he ever accidentally blew up. Poor Ron. It always seems as if he's the one who accidentally finds Drakken and Shego's lair. He thought the college they were using as a lair was really a college, so when he went there to tour it, they found him and tied him up. It was hilarious how Drakken was standing by the door with a bat ready so he could hit Kim when she walked in to help Ron. It was funny how Ron was trying to tell them he came alone. Drakken didn't believe him, but then about a second later he said the same thing. The expression on Ron's face was priceless! I also liked how Ron and Shego were arguing with Drakken about the lair not being a university. It was funny. Kim's new outfit is awesome! I like it better than the previous one. The ending was funny. Kim thanked Ron for getting captured because if he hadn't, she would have never found the lair. In response, Ron said that's what he was there for.

    Drakken tries to make a "Drakken-Gea", while Kim searches for a new mission suit, because smartymart and club banana ran out of hers, at the same time while she and ron start searching for some colleges they'll apply to. hide show

    I'll miss her old mission suit, but i'm sure they'll show it again sometime around. and i'm still wondering about her battlesuit... will it ever fix? i thought wade was a super-genius, can't he fix it in like ten minutes or something? some parts of these shows are very confusing, but oh well! my favorite part of the episode was when drakken, shego, and ron were saying this:

    Ron: Yeah, he never got into college, did he?
    Shego: REJECT!
    Drakken: Drop-out, Shego! Drop-out, they let me in, I L--oh, nevermind!

    That part was pretty funny. And I really do think that this episode is "Adventurous", because of all the adventures in it!
    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

    Kim must find new mission clothes when her original duds get discontinued. Kim and Ron start preparing for college. Drakken makes a machine to merge all the continents together. hide show

    The theme of “Clothes Minded” is growing up. We all have to do it eventually, and Kim and Ron start preparing for life after high school. The young loves start sending in applications for colleges. Ron can’t understand why a star football running back is not having his door, while Kim is caught between her parents’ old colleges. And in a more dramatic turn of events, Kim’s choice of clothing has been discontinued, forcing her to find new mission wares. And through every carnation she tries, she ends up getting her butt kicked by Shego. That is until Rufus and Monique finally come up with the right fit for our red headed heroine, just in time to stop Drakken’s evil plan to merge all the continents together into one, “Drakkengia!”
    The mission suits were definitely the main attractions in this episode. It was about time Kim changed her mission clothes any way, and the different choices were all very funny. First, there was Kim’s father who gave her something from out of the 1950s, some of kind bulky space suit. I loved his line about Kim’s mid drift. After that, there was the tweebs giving her a suit that I swear I once saw in a Mega Man X game. And then there was a purple molecular compound that Kim tried, that did not turn out so well. Finally she sets on a purple top, with black pants with matching purple strips. Not bad. It may take some getting use to for the fans, but I think it works. Most everything in this episode works, from the animation, to the jokes (Pangia), and the action. They only thing that bugged me was that Drakken and Shego were for some reason working back together again, with no explanation. Okay. Don’t get me wrong, their chemistry was as spot on as ever. But, I would have liked a better reason for them to work back together again then just for the heck of it. But despite that, the episode was wonderful, showing that our little couple is growing up and just getting better. And it was nice that Mr. Possible’s dream did come true after all.

    10 Perfect

    I do like this very much hide show

    This episode is about Kim getting her new mission outfit, because her old one got torn and has been discontinued. She's so distracted into getting the perfect mission outfit, she's not focusing on the Drakan and Shego's plan. Kim also has to worry about Collage including Ron, who's not sure what collage will take him. Ron finds a collage to go to, which ends up being a lair of Drakan and Shego, then gets captured without Kim knowing till she realizes that he's two hours late for their date. She calls him, finding out that Drakan and Shego kidnapped him and starts focusing on saving her boyfriend. I think when Kim finds out Ron is kidnapped, it gets her focused more. Like in So the Drama, when she realized that Erik was kidnapped, she was more focused and started wearing the new jumpsuit, although he ended up being Drakan's sinthodrone. I really do like her mission outfit, it's really her style, especally when it ends up that Rufus stole the idea of the design from the fashion thieves.

    Kim's new Mission Gear. hide show

    This episode was very funny. You see that even hero's have troubles from normal from time to time. Kim's origanle mission clothes are gone and now she has to find a new set. Seeing the set's she goes though is just funny. The ridicules of the desine of the clothes just mirror the disiners. But in the end Kims new mission cloithes are awsome. I guess it was just time for a change. and because this is the last season, that wanted to do somthing different. Well I really liked the fact that Ron wants to go to collage. Evenn though he is a laid back person you see in this episode that he knows that he needs collage even without Kim telling him.

  • Kim's Astronaut Suit:

    Kim's Astronaut suit that her dad gives her looks similar to Danny's jumpsuit in an episode of Danny Phantom, also provided by his dad. []
  • Baretta:

    In the closing tag, Ron tells the Fashionistas, "If you can't do the crime, don't do the time or something I like that." He meant "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime", a line of a song in the old show called Baretta. []
  • Gundam/Power Rangers/Transformers:

    One of Kim's potential new outfits, the one supplied by the tweebs, is a reference to Gundam, a long running Japanese Anime series featuring giant robots, or mecha. The series, produced by Sunrise, inc., is actually made up of several series, including Gundam Wing and Mobile Suit Gundam. The name "Gundam" is thought to have derived from a variety of sources, but the most agreed-upon is that people needed to conform to a single name for giant robots in the 1970s. Gundams are piloted by humans, and vary in size.

    The suit is also a reference to Power Rangers, in which the characters would summon giant robots, known as Zords, to defeat their enemies (this happened in pretty much every episode as the show practically invented plot-recycling). The series, like Gundam, began in Japan with the Super Sentai franchise.

    A third reference is to Transformers, which has seen multiple iterations over the years, including the Beast Wars TV series. It started with a line of toys from Hasbro, which featured toys that could transform from everyday vehicles into imposing mechs. Unlike Gundam and Power Rangers, however, Transformers originated in the U.S. []
