"Good"

By Llama_guy, Jul 17, 2007 Report Abuse

The whole plot: Drakken steals nano-tick, attaches explosives, wants to threathen people, but it accidentally gets stuck on Kim's nose. Soo they try to take it back. But, why nto blow her up?P That would make things so much easier for him later. I felt that this episode was merely average. Well, this episode features the actual introduction of Dr. Drakken and Shego, some of the best villains in the series so far. And the whole tick deal was jsut annoying me. I didn't like it. And Kim got detention. Well, that was a good thing, actually, as it serves to prove that nobody's perfect, whcih I felt was important seeing how Kim is close to (but not) perfect.
Else, I didn't like Prof. Akari, he was just weird.
Average score. 7.7/10moreless

"Superb"

By glostlover, Jan 28, 2007 Report Abuse

When Kim is tardy when going to class, she has to get detention. Kim stumbles across the villainous schemes of Dr. Drakken and his sidekick Shego for the first time and foils their plot to use a robotic tick as a miniature bomb. She gets a little more than she bargains for when the explosive ends up attaching to her nose. At the end Ron saves Kim. My favorite part of this episode is when Ron saves Kim. Another of my favorite part of this episode is when Kim and Shego fight in Bueno Nacho which was awesome. I give that part of this episode a 10 out of 10 but for this whole episode a 9.2 out of a 10.moreless

"Perfect"

By moozeditty, Jan 19, 2006 Report Abuse

This episode does a great job of setting up the show without screaming "this is the first episode!" The main characters are all well-written and they do a good job of meshing together. Everything I like about the show is in this episode--the clever writing, the twists on convention, the likeable characters, etc. It's one of my favorites.

"Perfect"

Although it was early in the series when this aired, I personally believe that this is definately one of the best "Kim Possible" episodes ever made. The plot line was so original, and creative. It was action-packed, and full of laughs from start to finish. This is definaltely one of the more hilarious episodes (although, all the episodes are hilarious in my opinion) yet. I think that if you have not seen this episode, then you have been missing out on a lot of laughs. Every time I watch this episode, I crack up, and if I'm ever having a bad day, I watch it and I feel so much better.moreless

- (At detention) Mr. Barkin: (annoyed) Detention is supposed to be a punishment; a time of quiet suffering! Ron: You didn't count on the Kim factor. (Kim is polishing the detention gang's nails) Big Mike: I like sparkles Junior: I'm next, dude! Vinnie: Hey man, I'm next! (Barkin sighs) Kim: Guys, what do we do? Junior and Vinnie: Take turns Kim: Right! Edit
- (After Drakken is beaten) Ron: Situation... Kim: ...resolved Barkin: Not quite. Say what you will about me, but Steve Barkin is... Kim: ...tough but fair, I know. Edit
- (Barkin and the detention gang enter Bueno Nacho whilst Kim throws Shego at Barkin) Junior: (to Vinnie) See? This is why I never come here, dude. Dr. Drakken: Shego has failed! But she never fails! Nooo! (Drakken slams his head into the control panel and hits a button) Computer Voice: Detonation sequence activated Dr. Drakken: Uh-oh! Kim: Oh, no! Dr. Drakken: Aaah! Get me out of here (presses wildly on the control panel) Vinnie: Cheerleader's nose is gonna blow! Junior: That's weird. Wade: I can't disarm something that small! We gotta get the nano tick to let go! Aargh! There must be some way to burn the circuits! Ron: This calls for the most dangerous chemical known to modern man... Diablo Sauce! Stat! (Ned throws Ron a pack of Diablo Sauce) Shego: Drop the hot sauce, and step away from the nose! (Big Mike sits down on top of Shego) Kim: Uh, wow. Big Mike: Nobody messes with us! Right, Kim? Kim: Uh, yeah! Right, Big Mike. Ron: Make nice later. Right now let's flick this tick. (Ron starts to pour hot sauce down on the tick) Easy... Easy... That's right, you squeal all you want. I gotcha. Almost... there. (Ron takes the tick into a straw) Ron: (panicked) The tick... is in the straw, the tick is in the straw! The tick is in the straw, what do I do? What do I do? Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- You Only Live Twice:
  
  The scene where Shego drops through a hole in the floor and comes out a tunnel to face Dr. Drakken recalls a similar scene in You Only Live Twice where Bond falls down a similar tunnel to meet the man that is to be his contact in Japan. Edit
- Shego: And her...chum. In the old Batman tv series, Batman would refer to Robin as "old chum". This implies that Ron is Kim's sidekick. Edit
- It's Tough to Be a Bug: When Ron touches Prof. Acari's computer screen, all the butterflies resting on it fly away. This is similar to a scene in the Disney attraction, It's Tough to Be a Bug, (also directed by Chris Bailey) where a similar effect is employed. Edit
