This wasn't my first Megas episode. So maybe that explains why I didn't like this. This episode basically tells the story of how Megas got into the present and Coop found it. The problem is that's all it offers. The plot isn't great, there wasn't enough humor to keep things running. The only thing good in this episode was the action, and even that wasn't enough, especially when compared to other episodes with great action. The only part that I might re-watch is the last fight, with the Extra-Large Glorft robot. The rest isn't all that interesting. It's a good episode to start with the series, but keep in mind Megas XLR got much more to offer than this.
Shining Moment: The big Glorft robot.moreless
Coop finds an alien robot in a Jersey City junkyard, and decides to soup it up with hot-rod parts and flame decals, and what happens when the original owner of this robot sees Coop's improvements?

NOTES (9)
ADD NOTES-
Coop smashed the time Flux, so nobody can get back to the future for quite some time.
-

-

-

-
