While at skool one day, Zim throws another fit about the lunch food so Dib throws a muffin at him, which causes Zim to run away in anger. The next day, a pair of Meekrob come to Dib in his sleep and grant him marvellous super powers, in which Dib decides to use to put an end to Zim once and for all. When Dib manages to suppress Zim quite easily, he decides to use his power for the greater good and he lives out the wonderful life he always wanted to have; though perhaps it's too wonderful.moreless

    Well, this episode was great. Good. Awesome. The list goes on and on, doesn't it?

    The war between the Irkins and Earth was pretty exciting and fun to watch, if you ask me. Great, awesome effects, 3 - D effects, to be more specific.

    The whole incident with the muffin was pretty hilarious, when ZIM puts a huge, massize cannon up to Dib's face, and Dib's all scared of what's gonna happen. Then, a muffin comes out. Laugh, ha ha. Very funny.

    It's not the best ZIM episode, it's hovering around number 5 for me, and that's still good, out of about 45, right?moreless

    I mainly like this episode because of all the nice things that could have happended to Dib.Dib is my favorite chracter.After he throws a muffin at Zim,things turn to the better.His father believes Zim is an alien and Gaz aplogizes about being mean to him.Zim admits he is an alien and decides to report himself.GIR self-destructs.Then Dib exposes Zim's leaders,the tallest and they have to give up conquering the planets.So after a long life Dib is interviewed at a very old age.The interviewer turns into Zim and it turns out that this was a trick.I still think that that part was funny.Especially when Zim threw a muffin at his eye.moreless

    When the episode starts, it seems like it's going to be a great episode. There are some very amusing quotes in the beginning when Zim and Dib are in the lunchroom. When the Meekrob shows up, it's still pretty good, but after that, I think the episode goes downhill. Dib is living a "wonderful" life, and everything is going great for him. I think it kind of gets boring around there.
    Then, near the end of the episode, things get interesting again when we find out Zim created this wonderful world for Dib just to find out if he threw a muffin at him. (Although, I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Dib as he realizes he has to go back to his normal world of being totally ignored even when he's right.)
    The beginning and end are good, but the middle of the episode kind of brings the whole episode down. I usually love the show, but this episode just isn't one of my favorites.moreless

    "I knew it! I knew it was you!"
    "It was nice working with you GIR, now self-destruct."
    "Finally!" *giggles and explodes*
    "That's a stinkin' muffin!"
    "But we're not asleep right now!"
    The plot wasn't all that it could've been, I guess, but it was halfway decent. I don't usually like eps centering around Dib (unless Gaz has a sufficent role that involves threatening or punishing him in some way, shape, or form).
