Kim PossibleGreat Fashion Victim "Another great installment" Camille Leon strikes again! And this time, it's personal. Having now decided to sell her services to other, more powerful criminals, Camille seems to be getting back in the game. Of course, with Kim Possible around, that's easier said than done.

When Camille takes advantage of a job of stealing Club Banana's new fall line by framing Kim for it, the spurned heroine tails her to Milan. Unfortunately, Ron's strapped in a shipping crate with Mr. Barkin (both of whom are Smarty Mart employees), but Monique proves that she's pretty good in a pinch. Granted, Camille's presence isn't as great as someone like Shego, but she's got promise as a criminal. An episode like this is pretty good for someone like her. |

Kim PossiblePerfect "Cutting edge" A little unrealistic, but an excellent, excellent show. "High schooler saves world on regular basis". Sure, we've seen it all before countless times. But what sets Kim Possible ahead of all others is how it treats the concept.

Aside from her "hobby" of saving the world (a hobby which the whole world is more than aware of), Kim's life is a struggle with the pressures of growing up. Boys, clothes, makeup, all of it comes as a challenge for her. In comparison, Kim's more comfortable trading blows with arch-rival Shego than trading phone numbers for dates. Granted, Kim can be a little TOO comfortable on missions to the point of unrealism, but that's a minor nitpick. I haven't seen a show truly succeed with reflecting the teenage life since "The Secret World of Alex Mack" (look it up on this site if you can't remember it). This show is the finest example of meshing humor, drama, and fantasy into a complete, well-made package. |

Kim PossibleSuperb Trading Faces "Cleverly plotted" Finally, a female villain that ISN'T Shego. Being one of the new episodes that debuted when the long-awaited Season 4 started, I was stoked when they hinted at the new villainess, Camille Leon.

Aptly named for her shapeshifting abilities, Camille managed to make her first appearence a notable one, using her powers to frame her Hollywood peers for her crimes and leaving the real deals with the blame. Some may call her shallow, and she can be at times, but she is competent enough to be a worthy opponent to Kim. And really, how many other notable female villains has this show ever had (aside from Shego)? ZERO! Camille is a nice breath of fresh air to Kim's male-dominated rogues' gallery. Granted, the episode wasn't quite as focused on her as I liked, but, all in all, it was a worthy debut for Camille. She'll be back, and I'll be awaiting her return. |

The Secret World of Alex MackPerfect "Underappreciated" Being such a good show, where's all the fans? This is such a good show. I mean, look at this. The fact that Alex would rather not play superhero with her powers and settle for simply living life semi-normally is a nice change of pace.

So what I can't understand is why has this show gone ignored? There's so much potential with fanfiction and fan art, especially given the show's ambigiuous ending on whether or not Alex stays super. It's a crying shame. C'mon, people, don't let this show stay drowned underneath SpongeBob forever. Let's actually keep the memory of Nick's first true superheroine (though she isn't as such) alive! |

Danny PhantomPerfect Kindred Spirits "Pivotal" Enter Dani Phantom. In what some have called "giving the silent finger to fanfic writers", Butch goes and creates "Kindred Spirits", featuring a female clone of Danny Phantom (ironically dubbed Dani). No wonder they complain, as this seems like something out of a fanfic. However, Butch actually makes it work.

Turns out, Vlad's been working on a Danny clone since at least "Shades of Gray", and Dani was created out of the project - as a reject as opposed to the final product. And, it's clear that she's still young (not even a full year, physically), and isn't quite aware that she's just being manipulated by that "crazed-up fruit loop". It isn't until Danny gets to know her that she learns that she's just being played for a fool. I don't know where the fans get off calling her a "Mary-Sue", but that's a mean way to put her character. Seeing as that this is only her first episode, let's cut her some slack. Truth is, Dani's cute. I've found my favorite character of the show. |
