    "Mediocre"
    By Lonestarr357, Sep 06, 2007 Report Abuse
    On a field trip to the history museum, Kim learns of a long-lost relative: Miriam Possible, better known as 'Mim'. Kim soon learns why she's not heard of this ancestor: dear Mim was accused of stealing a powerful invention, the Electro-Static Illuminator. Kim takes it upon herself to clear Mim's name. In addition, it turns out that the device was activated some hundred years ago and it's not long before a shockwave big enough to level Middleton is unleashed.

    This episode has one foot in the present and one in the past. The past features some amusing, olde-timey jargon and your typical Possible-Stoppable vs. ne'er-do-wells (in this case, Bartholomew Lipsky and his associate Miss Go) struggle while the present concentrates on a potentially interesting mystery angle.

    Unfortunately, it feels mechanical and it builds to a ridiculous conclusion that doesn't even pretend to make sense. A shame, as all the elements were there for a terrific episode. Oh, well...moreless

    Mr Barkin takes Middleton High students to museum. It appears to be extremely boring. At least until Kim and Ron discover history of their ancestors - Jonathan , detective, and Mim.. a thief ? Kim decides to solve that mystery !

    This episode is original, cause this time Kim and Ron will concentrate rather on investigation than fighting the villians. And the case is about 100 years old!
    The past Middleton made a really good background. I enjoyed watching Jonathan and Miriam in action, as well as ancestors of other characters. However, it'd be great to see past versions of other characters , such as Bonnie or Monique.

    "Rewriting History" is an special episode - definetely worth watching.moreless

This was like one of my favorite episodes. I can watch it again and again and again and never get tired of it. This is one of my total most favorite episodes ever and the title fits perfectly but the weird thing is that it was all a dream and what is weirder is that Kim and Ron had the same dream and what's weirder than that is that after all that we see more into the past of Kim and Ron but way farther back. This was a totally awesome episode. I would never ever ever get tired of this one.moreless

  • Kim and Ron discover a mystery involving theirs, Drakken's, Shego's, and Dementor's ancestors, and a machine called the Electro-static Illuminator, in which Kim's ancestor is accused of stealing. Now a hundred years later, the Illuminator threatens to demoreless

    This was a cute episode, even though it was obviously a dream sequence; it also had a bit of a surprise ending. I liked how the animation in the flashback sequences were muted, giving it an old footage feel. The sequences centered on reporter Mim Possible and Detective Jonathan Stoppable as they attempt to protect Professor Demens, Dementor's ancestor, destructive machine from being stolen by Bartholomew Lepsky and Ms. Go, Drakken's and Shego's ancestors. The episode suggested a great deal of flirting and snippiness between Kim and Ron, especially the adorable moment when they wake up from their dream together. Another aspect of this episode I liked was Drakken and Shego's interaction. Have you ever notice, how they sometimes act like a cranky old married couple. Just two people that have been around each other so long, that they know each other's quarks. Fun stuff! It might have been nothing more than a filler episode that really didn't go anywhere, but it was still fun to watch.

  • Fun with history as a 100 year old mystery encountered at a museum begs to be solved. Well plotted and clever.

    We learn that Kim, Ron, Wade, Dementor, Barkin, Drakken and Shego all had ancestors who attended a 100 years past world's fair, where a mystery arose surrounding a missing electrical prototype. One source of the comedy is Ron's realization of the outrageous odds against that many of their foes and friends having ancestors involved in the same caper. In any case, the modern Kim seeks to solve the mystery with the help of Wade's still-living ancestor's photos. Clues abound, including old diaries, phonograph records and snack foods. This cleverly plotted episode cuts back and forth in time as the mystery plays out at both ends. Great fun!moreless

    • When Jonathan and the man who sells Nacos are shaking hands, they use their left hands. In normal settings, people use their right hands. Edit
    • When Kim and Ron are in the museum at the start of the episode, Kim is wearing her green tank top and capris and Ron is wearing his red jersey. When they wake up from the dream sequence, they are wearing the clothes they wore at the end of the dream, the yellow star shirt and the black and white shirt Edit
    • The first time we see the electrostatic illuminator(in the flashback), it's working with seconds (we see the number 60 to refer a minute), but when we see the photo of Miss Go, it's working with minutes (52560000 minutes), and at the end of the episode, when it's about to explode, returns to work with seconds Edit
