Okay, so not really a flash back... but Alison does travel back in time! Gosh, the guy in black always freaked me out when I was little.

"Perfect"

By LisaGansky, Aug 09, 2005

I was thrilled to found that I taped this episode--The Tale of the Carved Stone--back in the day, when it was on SNICK. Just re-watched it yesterday. Even though Alison did get on my nerves, I actually liked the episode. Zardo is such a funny character. And the episode really freaked me out when I was little. Super scary, seeing the guy in the black cape with his hypnotic blue eyes. It really made me and my sister squeal! The Egyptian Friendship Stone was a fun idea too. I was a little miffed that Zardo was trying to take advantage of a little kid. Anyhow, decent episode. Another fun Saturday night.moreless
