Good, except...

8.0

I liked this episode and I thought it was handled well for the most part, I liked Jimmy being a villain. But I really do not like FOURTH graders using the word "love" to each other. To me, that is just not true, as in real life no one that young would use the word love to something they LIKED. I know this is a cartoon, but I just cannot like that they actually had 4th graders tell each other they loved them. The rest was pretty good in this episode though, about a B+ or so is my grademoreless

It's snowing and everyone is having a great time except for Nigel Uno, who is feeling sick and must stay home. But it's not long until something terrible happens and it's up to Nigel Uno and the Kids Next Door to save the day.moreless

Funny episode, it's like half and episode of star wars mixed with half an episode of KND.

I found it was really funny how the librarian guys rolled like the robots in Star Wasr ep 1-3, and how the big robots represented the AT robots from Star Wars ep-5.

Also it was really funny when Nigel Uno heard Lizzie's voice saying 'Use the Soup Nigel, use the Soup', when in Star Wars the phrase is 'Use the Force'.

This was a really good episode not only because it was like a parody of Star Wars but also because it had a great storyline.moreless

Operation S.N.O.W.I.N.G.- Its a snow day! Except Jimmy, the fourth grade president wants all the kids back at school for a "special" assembly to crown his queen? Who is his queen? Will he be succesful in bringing the kids back to school? Fun parody of Stamoreless

Operation S.N.O.W.I.N.G.- Personally, the whole bringing kids back-to-school on a snow day was an idea that would've never entered my brain. The whole episode was A Star Wars parody which was well done, especially the whole light saber // ruler fight. *Commends for not using : I am your Father line like every other parody of Star Wars* The episode was overall awesome, except I thought it began really slow and the fight//ending scene was cut a teensy bit to short. Also, we could live without checking on Jimmy every other minute, it made it boring at parts. Overall it was a solid episode, so I shall give it an 8.5.moreless

Plot, suspense, and romance, oh my! Warning: Spoilers!

Let me start off plain and simple: this episode was one of my favorites. To some, it isn't. I could understand where they're getting at, but let me explain myself.

President Jimmy is a returning character, and one heck of a character too. It seems that you don't know what's going on with him. Well, at first, at least. When you first meet him, he's innocent. Then again, at the end of Operation: PRESIDENT, our dear ol' Jimmy becomes all evil, but that soon becomes into this story, am I right? Well, anyway.

I love how he just morphs into a KND-Version of Anakin Skywalker. I really did believe he belonged with Anna since the beginning, but it gave a good twist for Lizzie to be the one.

It may just be me, but I love parodies. And this being a Star Wars parody just makes it even more humorous and intruiging. Because of the parody, it just adds the best to it.

  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Bus Walkers: Appearance
  
  Although the Bus Walker employed by President Jimmy are made to resemble the AT-ATs used during the Hoth Battle of Star Wars Episode V--The Empire Strikes Back, they have the same tentacles used by the walking machines of War of the Worlds. It would make a lot of sense, considering that the ATs were inspired by the walking machines of the aforementioned movie.
  EDIT SHARE
- 4th Grade President's Name: James Nixon McGarfield
  "Master President's" name seems to be a combination of the names of several US Presidents. There have been six presidents with the first name "James": Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield, and Carter (the last is better known as Jimmy Carter). Nixon is an obvious reference to Richard M. Nixon, the only president to have resigned. Garfield is another obvious reference to the aforementioned James Garfield. "Mc" may be a reference to William McKinley.
  EDIT SHARE
- The entire episode is a reference to Star Wars Episode Five The Empire Strikes Back. The refernces are:
  
  * Lizzie: "Use the soup" is a refernce to Obi-wan Kenobi telling Luke to use the Force.
  * Bus Walkers: AT-AT (Imperial Walkers)
  * Numbah 2 and the sled riders: Snowspeeders
  * Numbah 1's fighter: X-wing (But the visual resembles more like a Z-95 Headhunter)
  * The drivers in the bus walkers: Strom troopers and snow troopers
  * Snowball guns: Laser turrets
  * The girls wrapping the busses up: harpoons and tow cables used to wrap up the ATs
  * Jimmy's tarnsport and dark clothing: the Imperial Super Star Destroyer and symbolism of how Anakin turned into Darth Vader for Padme
  * The bomb Nigel used to knock out the bus: The explosive that Luke used to destroy one of the Ats
  * Numbuh One and Jimmy's fight: Lightsaber battle between Luke and Vader in Cloud City
  
  Also, the battle in the snow, In which the KND lead the resistance, while The President's minions try to capture them, is very much like the opening of Episode V, when the empire stormed the temporary Rebel HQ on the ice planet Hoth. The only part thats missing is some sort of central command for the KND.
