    Mertle you are the trouble maker!!! Well it was a great shot and I loved it especially the ending it was great and funny well if you've watched the story you would know what I am exactly talking about and it started good at least Stitch got his cute cuzzins and everyone is cute including Sandwich Boy a.k.a. 625!!!

  • Err, okay... dodgy.

    Checkers is cute. He gets points for that. I really do like his design. But they still fudged the episode up.

    The writing is on dodgy ground when they start talking about people having 'power of command'. It almost sounds like alien planets are familiar with monarchy systems. Someone else brought up the plothole of Elastico showing up when he's supposed to be on tour - and he doesn't even need to be there, it's only for a bad joke when Gantu mistakes him for Checkers.

    The sub-plot with Lilo's float design I found pretty boring. Does anyone else tune out when the hula girls just go on and on and on in their nasty whiny voices?

    Again, the experiment wasn't bad, but they definitely could have done better than this.moreless

  • It's funny, especially the part where Nani's hair is yellow. But there are only two things I don't get.

    But there are only two things I don't get.

    How could Elastico get to Hawaii? Remember in his episode at the end he went to Las Vegas alone with everyone else who was at the circus? So how could he get to Hawaii? When everything is upside down in the livingroom, the picture of Scrump sort of falls down a little. The top tape gets off a little, but the bottom tape stays on. You cannot see the picture nor the word on it.moreless

    One of the best episodes yet. . . It is a classic. . . Showing the experiments teaming up to stop Gantu. . . Also showing one of the cutest experiments, Checkers. . . It really showed the down side of getting all of the attention. . . . But it taught Lilo another great lesson along with showing how well the experiments got along! ! !

    • The number of Checkers' legs kept changing the number it had. [When Lilo caught Checkers he had five pairs of legs. When She brought Checkers home he had four pairs of legs, in different scenes when checkers would look like his normal form instead of his crown form, he would have only three or four pairs of legs. What is checkers true number of legs when it kept on changing throughout the episode?]

    • After Lilo noticed how many people Mertyle and her friends through into the dungeon, she decided she didn't want to be a queen anymore because of this. Why didn't she order them to release the prisoners?

    • How was Lilo able to tell it was checkers when searching Jumbas computer? We had only seen him in his walking form until then, which looks very little like his crown form.

  • ALLUSIONS (4)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • When Lilo is sitting on her throne her throne forms the mickey mouse head. The two windows are the ears and the top of the throne are the face

    • 625 has a pet roach in this episode name Jimmy. (Pinnochio -- Jimeny Cricket)

    • Jumba: 'Influence on the weak minded'
      Right before Checkers gains control of Jumba, it sounds like he's about to say that he "Only influences the weak-minded." This is almost the EXACT same line spoken by Sir Alec Guines as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.

    • The scene where the experiments are rowing a boat to confront Gantu is based on George Washington and his forces crossing the Delaware.
