In THIS EPISODE, all flaming blue heck breaks out when Baloo tries to out pilot the new Aviator 2000, a robotic pilot. The pressure is really on when Shere Kahn announces his intention buy one thousand of them should the robot beat Baloo in a race, therefore putting all the pilots out of business. When Baloo tires and loses the race, he's sure his entire career is over...until the chance comes for him to prove Shere Kahn wrong.

THREE STARS, purely by merit of both my lovers appearing in it. Other than that, nyyy.....blase.

This ep should have been called Rage Against the Machine. Mmmmmm, Shere. How I've missed you, my large striped lover with the ridiculously oversized chin. (You ever notice that? The man has a big chin. Oh well. Just more tiger to love.) The evil witch DaylightSavingsTime has kept me from you in a crystal tower, but I lower my hair to you, my tiger burning bright. Although, if you tried to climb it you'd probably rip it out of my skull, Ah well, we can all dream our Rapunzel dreams, can't we? We can, as this episode illustrates. Kind of. well, not really. It just seemed like a good thing to say. That is, by the way, how I write research papers. Anyway, back to the real issue here. If there is one.

Okay, I have to admit, the first time I saw the Professor, I though he was kinds sexy-like. I mean, okay body, smart, nice tan suit with a black flat-bottomed tie, very good very good. But, of course,. He turned out to be an *%@^*&. They all do, don't they? Or maybe he's just a really determined inventor. I can't really decide about him at all. I might go on one or two dates with him and quickly tire of his endless jabber about his amazing inventions, then dump him. Shere always takes the cake with me, though. You know that, don't you dear? yes, of course you do!

Okay, let's just get this down now. I can't believe how huge Baloo is. GeezMarie! I mean FAT!! But besides that, Baloo was basically being himself in this episode, but more mature, surprisingly enough. For example, he told Kit to just let go of the fact that Rebecca had to sell the Sea Duck, although I can't tell if that was maturity or depression. Although later he lapsed into outright self-pity ("I don't even know why you guys hang out with a loser like me") and I really hate it when people are self-pitying, so i wanted to slap him and yell, "Get ahold of yourself, man!" He did later. Good boy.

The characterization was pretty good in this one, I mean, nobody acted out of bounds. They were all pretty much in character and the writing was good in that they all had proper motivation for their actions. Sometimes the writers leave stuff like that out.

I had a dart gun while I was watching the show and I did a little target practice on Molly. Just grazed her head. She makes the best little moving target, that kid. Seeing that obnoxious little whimper makes me wish I had a big steaming vat of "dip" from Roger Rabbit.

Oh, and how could I forget my lover Don Karnage? Ah, mon ami cher! You ave return-ed. Je t'aime, mon cher, je t'aime. Es-que tu bois la vin avec moi? Oui? Es-que tu entre ma chambre? oui? Ahhhhh.... (Brownie points if you know what any of that meant. E-mail me with the translation and I'll have Debbie make you the smart reader of the month. So e-mail me. Now. Stop reading this retarded review and e-mail me NOW! I WANT MAIL!! ME LONELY IN MY TREE! ME ONLY FRIEND MONKEY BOBO! BOBO NO USE DA EMAIL!) Listening to the new Madonna CD. If you have it, turn to song #8. it's all spiffy like dat.

Anyway, Don Karnage. Yes, he certainly is the sexy one. i loved his line about his "bloodthirsty horde". There is nothing sexier than Karnage's voice, I swear! It just makes me want to get up and tango. This Madonna song is so cool! She's all chanting and stuff. COOL! Have I reviewed the show at all yet? I think I forgot what it was about, so I'll just obsess about my lovers. Oh yeah, there was a robot in it. He's not one of my lovers. He's made out of tin.

Heck, let's just make this simple. I'll just list stuff I liked.

1) Shere. Shere checking his little stock machine. Shere's deep, rumbling voice (so wonderful to hear first thing in the morning, let me tell you!) Shere's but kicking office. Shere drinking a screwdriver on the plane and tracing the rim of the glass with his finger (I know it was a screwdriver. Shere wouldn't drink orange soda pop. He just wouldn't.) Shere holding the professor out of the plane at the end of his show. If you watch the rescue scene, you'll notice that a glass gets shot out of Shere's hand and THE MAN DOESN'T EVEN FLINCH!!! Oh, so sexy....although, that was probably just a bad animation thing, considering that the bullet would have gone through Shere's hand and into Baloo's neck, where it would have been caught in the fat so there wouldn't be any serious casualties. Another bad animation thing: Shere leans over to glare at the professor and he just keeps getting bigger...and bigger...and bigger....insert your own dirty joke here. I did.

2) Karnage. His voice. The way he flies the plane. His little cocky walk that just makes me want to jump him! Ahhh!Know ze passion zat ees Karnage!!

3) When Baloo punched the professor. Man, that was quite a windup there. I'm surprised the Prof., smart as he is, didn't see that one coming and get the heck out of the way.

4) When Kit ran to Baloo with his arms open after he lost the race. Kit's a good kid.

5) The whole rescue scene, what with Shere throwing the professor around like he was a rag doll and whatnot, and Baloo bursting through the door saying, "Hey boys, what can I do for ya?"

6) The proof getting repeatedly shocked by his "cretinous contraption" (double word score, Shere!) Zzzzt! EEE! Zzzzt! EEEE!

7) The dream sequence. Moma-cita, was that cool. When the plane split apart around Baloo the animation bordered on anime. Wow. And when Baloo is forced to become the machine at the end! Nightmarish!

8) A very nice shot of Baloo's plane at sunset, turning. de-lovely.

STUFF I NO LIKEY
1) I was at Richard's house, and his dog kept staring at me and I was hypnotically forced to give her a piece of cake.

Debbie's comments

OK I promise I will not make this a habit! But I just know Karmacat didn't mean Baloo is SOOOOOO fat! After all I think he looks kinda cute falling out of his shirt.
