"Perfect"

By springsales, Mar 11, 2007 Report Abuse

Yori, I felt was a huge success last time in the "Exchange" episode. I'm very pleased to see her back again. The jealously twist was also very successful. There is a lot the writers can do with this rich storyline to run with in future episodes.

The sage advice from Sensei was very apt and worked quite well in the story. It made the joke Ron made of 'Nothin but love' for the Sensei (with the out-of-character rapper fist-to-chest bump from the Sensei) all the more hilarious.

While I think the plot could have been improved, the DNAmy thing with MonkeyFist was a bit amusing, provided that it is not overused. What I liked most about the episode were the two best supporting minor characters being reintroduced -- Yori and Sensei.

In a way, the sage wisdom offered by Sensei and the emphasis Yori places on honor is quite a welcome relief to see now and again. After watching these two, I am inspired toward nobler acts. Overall, I'm very glad to see Yori back. I'm looking forward to her in more episodes in the future. And more Sensei wisdom would be much appreciated.moreless

When Sensei goes missing, he sends Ron a message in Mistory Meat sauce. Ron gets freaked out and hides, Kim tells him to calm down and not to worry about anything. Then Ron starts to block this front door. When he gets done, he sees that Yori comes by to see him. When they see that the only evidence is monkey fur, they believe that Monkey Fist is behind everything. Then Yori comes to Middleton High to help Ron get ready for the trip. Kim and Monique, especially Kim, both get suspicous about Ron and Yori. Ron and Yori are off to South America to look for Monkey Fist. After they battle the posion monkey teeth, and into Monkey Fist's tree house, they see that he, or Sensei, isn't there. Then they see that Monkey Fist is in an abandone zoo. Meanwhile, Kim is back in Middleton having Wade find out stuff on Yori. He tells her that he can't find anything about her yet, but he does tell her where the two are. She pops up in the middle of their trip, and gets to the bottom of what really happen in Japan! After she hears about that, they find Monkey Fist in hidding. He tells them that he had nothing to do with Sensei disapearence. All of a sudden a group of apes comes after them, Monkey Fist tells them that he was hiding from that.

They get back on their feet, and try to save Monkey Fist. When they battle the two apes, we see Yori and Kim work together as friends. After we see the apes get pinned down, the main one takes off her mask, and we see that its DNAmy! Monkey Fist flips out in fear, and tells everybody that its not what you think. But Amy tells him htat he was just saying that, and everyone agrees that this whole thng was wrong-sick! After DNAmy chases Monkey Fist away, we find out that Yori liked liked Ron.

Yori's sensei has been kidnapped and all evidence indicates that Lord Monkey Fist is responsible for it. Yori comes to Middleton to get Ron, in which Yori and Ron head off to South America to attempt to stop Lord Monkey Fist leaving Kim suspicious. One of the things that left Kim Possible thinking was if Yori and Ron liked each other and she was just so curious that she had to follow them. If you ask me Kim liked Ron a little bit in this episode I mean following them is like too far. When Kim starts to grow suspicious about Yori's sudden appearance in Middleton, she heads after them to get to get to the bottom of their predicament which is sort of what I said but in different words.moreless

Ron has to help his old sensai, and Yori comes to get him. Kim gets jealous, and jumps to the conclusion that Yori is working for monkey fist (who they assume has taken the sensai) I like this episode because it forshadows Kim and Ron's romantic relationship. K/R 4-ever!

"Fair"

A message is written on the cafeteria walls in gravy. It's a summons for Ron. Ron Rieger? Given that a vision of Sensei appears late at night to him, it's more likely for Ron Stoppable. The head of the Yamanouchi School has been kidnapped and Ron must set out to find him.

The search reunites him with Yori and they head around the world...followed closely by Kim, who feels that there's more to this girl than meets the eye. It is thought that Monkey Fist is behind the abduction, but the real culprit is far more sinister...

I enjoyed this episode on a number of levels. The same kind of clever plotting that writer/creators Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley bestowed upon "So the Drama" (and, for that matter, the movie "Sky High") is on display here. And seeing Sensei in action brought back fond memories of "Kill Bill: Vol. 2". So, what's with the low rating?

"Gorilla Fist" could easily be considered a classic, but filtered through the sensibilities of the third season, with it's forced slang ("Jelling"? Please!), annoying shippiness and Ron's inexplicably higher voice, it rates a near-miss. Worth watching, but man...moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Dr. Scholl's: Monique says Kim is "so jelling" (as in jealous), and she vehemently insists, "I'm not jelling!" This plays on a Dr. Scholl's ad for a gel-based shoe insert, in which people use the word "gellin'" to indicate they use the product, and proceed to rhyme the word in a series of clever wordplays. Edit
- Inidana Jones: Ron's reaction to discovering the partially obscured monkey head statue is very similar to the reaction of one of Indiana Jones' assistants at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark Edit
- Indiana Jones: The Monkey Teeth trap is direct homage to the poisoned darts that shoot out of the walls of the Asian temple in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Edit
