    I don't know why but I just didn't like this episode. I almost fell asleep(maybe I was just tired, oh well). I'm not sure what they could have dome to make it better but I think they probably could have thought of something.Oh yeah back to the experiment. 586 easts metal he looks like an orange bulldog-like-experiment with an armoured covered body who eats metal and each time he does he grows. I haven't seen the Snafu episode (But I really, really want to!) but I read that between the "Tank" episode and the "Snafu" episode Tank shrinks making some people believe that after a while he shrinks back to normal size. Tank's home is not known yet. Tank did get caught by Gantu but was rescued in the snafu episode. It's rumoured that tank's home is a garbage place.moreless

    well lilo get's a shot at being friends with the characteristicless yeaaaaah! girls and blows it a bit by ignoring stitch well at least we get to see that the annoying girls actually arent simply one phrase characters
    and it turns out they dont really l;ike myrtle (not that big a surprise)

    anyway tank just eats metal and gets bigger ad gantu eventually gets the experiment and it isnt rescued until snafu wich was building up a stupid storyline....

    the singer was annoying....

    wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!........moreless

    An experiment that eats metal and gets bigger? For one thing, Jumba would have to be really careful to send it to a planet with enough metal lying around. Plus, why not just make a huge experiment to begin with?

    Although seeing Mertle team up with Stitch is probably the biggest attraction point, it falls prey to the old 'at the end, everything goes back to normal' routine. Lilo doesn't seem to have made any progress making friends, even though the girls liked her and spent time with her during the episode. But when they go straight back to Mertle and act like it never happened, the girls feel more like cardboard cut-outs than real people. Not that they can be real people when all they ever say is "Yeeeeeaaaaaah".

    If they were going to have "Wierd Al" in an episode, they could have given him a less irritating part.moreless

    • The Blob (1958 and 1988) The featured experiment grows larger each and every time it eats metal, just like how the Blob would grow larger each time it would eat someone. Edit
    • Tank's experiment number, '586', sounds like a spoof of the old '6 afraid of 7 because 7 8 (ate) 9' joke. Edit
