A Day in the Life of an Overachieving, Mana-wielding, Quater-Alien, Hero/High School Student

9.0

By PlainsHobbit, Jun 13, 2012

This episode shows us exactly what the title promises. Namely --- why "It's Not Easy Being Gwen". It was fun seeing how Gwen balanced (or attempted to balance) life as a hardworking overachiever and her duties as a defender of Earth. Personally, I always enjoy the chance to explore characters more thoroughly.

But let's face it, a battle against giant mutant frogs set to Chopin is what really made this episode superb.

One last thing ---

Grandpa Max ate Gizmo?! Noooo! (*o*)moreless

- Gwen's mom mentions that Grandpa Max had cooked a strange dish at the last Tennyson family reunion called Mogwai. Mogwais are creatures from the 1984 movie Gremlins and its 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Mogwais are depicted as furry creatures who when fed after midnight, transform into the reptilian title creatures and cause havoc.
