  This episode is about when Kim and the family along with Ron and Rufus go to Montana. hide show

  Kim goes with her brothers and her father to visit her uncle’s ranch in Montana, in which Ron decides to go along because he figures that he’ll be able to be lazy at the ranch. However, when Dr. Drakken decides to hold a convention for the smartest people in the world, he uses his “silly hats” to make them ignorant so that he may become the best genius in the world. It’s up to Kim to save the day once again, though she soon learns that she may need help from her family; especially her cousin Joss who considers Kim her idol but is kind of annoying and after that has a new idol (Ron) but is herself not Kim. My favorite part of this episode is when we see Joss being annoying and when she helped Shego accidentally by messing up the battle. My lastly favorite part was when Joss learned her lesson and when we see her new idol which is Ron Stopable.

  Silly hats, hero worship, and robot horses--what more could you want from Saturday morning? Drakken turns Middleton's finest minds into a cadre of driveling imbeciles. hide show

  Drakken is angered over being rejected for a MENSA-type organization, so he uses cowboy hats wired with electronics to eliminate the competiton. Here we see Dr. D's quite insidious, with a scheme that's one part Pinky and the Brain and two parts The Mad Hatter, but dreadfully short-sighted. If he'd stopped to consider it, wouldn't he want to use the biggest brains in town to help him build a doomsday device to rule the globe, rather than waste his time with silly dances and mindless gibbering? It might have been funny if Shego had pointed this out to him afterwards, and treated us to one of Drakken's sputtering, nonplussed tantrums, as only John DiMaggio could deliver. Plus, this episode gives a lesson on obsessive hero worship. One must wonder if this episode was the writers' response to parents who wonder if the waiflike crimefighter is a proper role model for little girls: although role models are good to have, one should not be a mindless carbon copy, looking to a cartoon character for direction. Be yourself.

Episode Cast and Crew Details

• When Joss is hanging up posters of Ron the biggest one she hangs up, in the first shot of it has him in regular clothes but in the second shot is has his mission clothes with a red stripe at the bottom [edit]
• When Joss notices Kim is missing, the poster above her bed shows Kim with a turtlenecked green shirt instead of the V-neck she usually has. [edit]
• Throughout the entire episode the charges on the henchmens staff things are red instead of blue. [edit]

• The scene of Kim making Joss feel better is used in a "believe in yourself" section of Disney (or it was in the past) [edit]
• Animation Production by: Rough Draft Korea Co., Ltd [edit]
• First released as part of "Kim Possible: The Villans Files" on DVD/VHS. [edit]

• Kim: I like boys. (pauses) Sometimes. [edit]
• Kim: How about when Shego-
  Joss: Tutored Senor Senior, Jr. on how to be a bad guy.
  Kim: Or when Drakken-
  Joss: Stole a weather machine! [edit]
• Ron: (Seeing the many Kim posters) There's a little word called obssession. . . [edit]

• Joss Whedon:
  
  Kim's cousin is named after Joss Whedon, creator of such shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, a science fiction western. The lattermost is clearly the main inspiration for this episode. [edit]
• Back to the Future III:
  
  Drakken's cowboy outfit is similar to Marty's cowboy outfit in Back to the Future III. [edit]
• The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
  
  The scene where Shego’s horse is attempting to step on Kim is similar to a scene in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, in which a horse nearly steps on the hobbit named Pippin. [edit]
