"Great"

By Lonestarr357, Sep 08, 2007 Report Abuse

While at the movies, Ron meets Zita, a pretty girl working the ticket stand. He wants to summon the nerve to talk to her, but can't quite get it together. The theft of a robot prototype created by Fen, a colleague of (Mr.) Dr. Possible, sends Kim looking for the culprit.

One of the better second-season episodes, thanks mainly to an intriguing mystery element to the story. Fen's former partner, Vivian, is the prime suspect, so Kim and Ron (with the help of cousin Larry) head to her main hangout, the Robot Rumble. The underground railway chase also provides some excitement.

The Ron-Zita storyline has some good moments, especially toward the end. However, the Kim-Ron conversation outside the theater seems to set an unfortunate tone for the shippy nonsense of later episodes. Also, the ultimate villain is, without question, one of the show's weakest.

Overall, "Grudge Match" is a good episode.moreless

Ron tries to make his move on new girl, Zita Flores who works in the theater. Zita seems nice. Meanwhile, Kim investigates a missing super robot in the underground world of robot fighting. Kim uncovers a disgruntled former employee. This episode was the first appearance of Zita. My favorite part of this episode is when we see Zita and when at the end of this episode Ron says that he was not good for Zita but then he sees that Zita is sitting right next to him in the theater and so they share popcorn. I hope that you liked this episode very much and that this was one of your favorite episodes.moreless

Grudge Match was an alright episode of Kim Possible and had us seeing a new villian, Fen. We are also introduced to a VERY minor character, Zita Flores, who only appears here and in Vir-Tu-Ron. I wonder why Ron and Zita never got it goin on!

Anyway, the storyline was quite shocking to see Fen being the villian, but I wish that Vivian wasn't so mean and I also wanted her "boyfriend" to be real because I wanted to see him without his pants....

Anhywho, the ending was happy for all of us and I hppe Fen doesn't appear in a long time to come. I also was happy when Ron and Zita were at the movie. SO, we learnt something about grudges here today, there is no referee in them!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When Kim and Ron leave the theater in this episode, Kim says "You and me...on a date?", and Ron says "It could happen". This is a clue into the future events on season four where they are a couple. Edit
- During the pan at the beginning of the rumble between Oliver's robot and the Kimmunicator, you can see Ned appear twice. Both have the exact same animation and body positions. The one of the left is the brunette Ned with an orange Bueno Nacho uniform shirt and dark pants; the one on the right is blond Ned with light blue shirt and brown pants. Both are wearing the management tie with the correct colors. Edit
- Three of the Robot Rumble club members have been seen before (or will be soon). Ned (Assistant Manager from Bueno Nacho), Justine Flaner (from the upcoming episode Partners) and the unnamed girl in blue from Middleton High (who is in almost scene that requires background extras). Edit

- Kim: You and me… on a (smiles) date? Ron: It could happen. (nervously) I mean… I'm not saying… that we would. But, if someone… didn't know… that we were just… best friends, and saw us together. At the feel-good film of the year! Conclusions may be drawn. Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Brainiac: The computer voice for the space center security devixes is voiced by Corey Burton, who voiced Brainiac in the WB/DC Animated Universe. The security device voice is very similar to his Brainiac performance. Edit
- X-ray Machine: The X-ray machine Ron does the leg thing with is almost identical to the one in the Herge comic book "The Adventures of Tintin: Destination Moon". The two policemen in the series (Thompson and Tompson) split up to look for a "criminal". One Thompson, instead of finding a criminal, almost got scared to death by a "skeleton". The other Thompson doesn't believe him, and goes down the hallway... and sees the skeleton! What they are unaware of is that they are looking at each other through an X-ray - Thompson #1 was looking at Thompson #2 through the X-ray (who was standing in front of a "screen"), and goes back to tell Thompson #2. Thompson #2 then goes back (alone) to check it out, while Thompson #1 stands in front of the "screen". Thompson #1 then sees Thompson #1 through the X-ray. Edit
- Frankenstein: Vivian's first two initials (VF) match Victor Frankenstein's initials. Victor Frankenstein is a character in Mary Shelley's book, "Frankenstein", which was made into a movie. Just like Vivian, Frankenstein created his own living being, but his monster wasn't a robot, whilst Vivian's creation (Oliver) was. Edit
