AIRED: 4/18/09

It's another average, logic defying day for Phineas and Ferb, until a crashed space pod, carrying an unbearably cute alien, Meap, thrusts the boys into another adventure in space! Everyone has a different role to play, while Candace holds on to Meap by accident, Ferb is fixing up the ship, as Phineas uses the new cute tracker to find where their new friend is, to the slight irritation of Isabella, as he can't get what *cough* is causing cute interference, but of course, it all has to lead up to the big explosive finale in SPACE -ace-ace. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz has a new plan, simplistic in nature, but buried in an avalanche of backstory, oh dears.moreless

Great episode it has a little Star Wars and alien movie

8.0

By dragondude4, Mar 06, 2011

An Alen name Meep comes to Earth just like that Alien Movie and Phineas and Ferb fixs his Ship and Candace gets the Alien and takes it some the toy are like parodies of Beanie badyies or Gremlins or something else. Freakin' Ferb trying to showoff at Doofenshmirtz's daughter Vanessa what the hell is his problem it's was so funny what he was doing to show off. And I like the part when Ferb said that no cloud that's a space lair that is so Star Wars then Candace and Meep do the same thing like that alien movie then something else happens and Meep talks why does Meep need a moustache to talk what the hell is up with that ?moreless

When using their new Baseball gloves, Phineas throws a ball too high, and it hits an alien space ship, causing it to crash. A little cute alien named Meap comes out, and Phineas and Ferb decide to fix it.

Meanwhile, Stacy and Candace go to a Bangaroo convention, but Candace's Bangaroo is ugly, so she takes Meap, thinking it's Phineas and Ferb's Bangaroo.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz invents a machine to take all balloons out of The Tri State Area, becuase he lost his balloon as a child, so he wants it back.

This was a great episode. There were so many funny parts, such as Ferb flirting with Vanessa, The Ride from Outer Space song, Doofenshmirt's backstory, and Mitch and the balloon.

Overall Grade:100%/A+moreless

A perfect episode. I wish there were more of the chronicles of Meap. You hear that Jeff Swampy Marsh??? I want more of Meap!!!!!!!!!!!!! This episode is hilarious and random but I like randomness. I loved this episode from the minute it started. I don't see why they don't make a sequence of episodes titled "The Chronicles of Meap". They could even make a Meap movie. Quite a lot of the reason I like this episode is that it brings a lot of the characters together and makes what I like to call a "Super Episode". Super Episodes rule!!!! And so does Meap.moreless

Seemed Epic

10

By futuramarama, Dec 06, 2009

This episode seemed more epic then it was. It seemed more epic because of the last half, when Phineas and Ferb and Isabella being abducted by Mitch. And then he plans to hold them prisoner forever. When all he wants is "Meap." This episode was different. It wasn't the funniest episode but it had a ring to it that not many episodes have. It seems far more epic then any other episode {at least any that has aired so far}. It also kind of seems like a different show, the whole sci-fi aspect of it. But I liked it too much too care.moreless

When an alien space ship crashes into their backyard, Phineas and Ferb decide to repair it in order to help its passenger, and incredibly cute alien they call Meap find his family.. but there's much more to this cute little guy than there first appears!moreless

9.0

By Hellkitty2001, Jul 12, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised by this episode for a number of reasons.

For starters, I liked the sci-fi references (including Star Wars and even E.T.!), and Candice got a chance to shine here.

The parts with Meap, including his battle with Mitch at the end were good too, and showed a bit of parallels with a certain platypus and mad scientist...

Speaking of which, the usual sideplot with Perry and Dr. Doofenschmirtz was good too, and meshed with the main plot more than usual, but showed how Doofenschmirtz tolerates, and even respects his personal nemesis.

I also enjoyed the "trailer" at the end, complete with voice over, which also doubled as a tribute to Don LeFontaine, the guy who did all those movie trailer voiceovers.

All of this makes for one heck of an episode!moreless
