POOL

[forcedtowritethis]

Ohhh...can we keep -3? LOL, this is my favourite season 4 episode by far. We got to see lots of different operatives and their negative counterparts in one cool, half hour episode!

I have to say, the highlight of the show was probably Father and the Delightful Children, and -Numbuh 5! She was hilarious! Loved it all: negative Wally's goatee, negative Kuki's take-charge attitude, negative Hoagie's funnier jokes, negative Nigel's wimpy behavior, and my rating for Lizzie has just went way up. By the way, I know I said earlier that I was sick of the KND romance, but there was definitive 3/4 proof in this episode.

If the statement L(K,W) stands for the real Numbuh 3 likes Numbuh 4, then this is fairly easy to prove. If you assume L(K,W) is true, all you need is to prove ~L(~K,~W) is true [the negative], which is what we all saw tonight. (~K said, "I don't like you, but you got spunk!") Haha, and now the big ta-daaa...(when I can find some 2/5 proof, I'll let you guys know)

But...what was the point of that? I really like negative Numbuh 3 better! Can we keep the negative Numbuh 3, Mr. Warburton? Pretty pretty pretty please?

Oh well, like I said earlier, this is my favourite season 4 episode so far; POOL was to season 4 what FUTURE should've been to season 3, IMO.

I hope there's more episodes like this

Well those math equations may be all well and good, but it just doesn't mean a thing when it comes to true love (no offense)

I just realized something: Wally (the one in the positive universe) must have a low rank in the KND. After all, in the negative universe, a lot of things are the opposite of what they are in the positive universe.

Of course, by that logic, Sector V is a lowly sector of the KND, as the DNK counterparts of Wally's fellow officers in his unit are the elite members under Yllaw's command. (Yllaw is -4 in case you're confused.)

[homunculi7]

Eh, all this parallel universe stuff is hurting my brain. Lets just agree that while a lot of things are pretty much opposite between the universes, not exactly everything has to be different.

Well, Homunculi7, I suppose you're right iff you define "cartoon couples" as true love.

*On a side note: post about that 3/4 proof was just a poor attempt at humour on my part. Staying cramped inside a small room all day studying will fry your brain!

You bring up an interesting point! If Wally is the leader in the negative universe, what does that say about him in the real KND universe? He definitely doesn't have a low rank with KND. Good thinking

Well who say "true love" cant' exist in cartoons? Okay fine, so I'm a bit of a romantic, but anyway that's how I feel. And anyway, it's really not that much different from you thinking math will work in a cartoon.

This was a great episode. The only problem I had with it was how all the bad guys turned to good guys at the end. So -4 was a jerk of a leader, (which is wierd 'cause 4 wasn't a nice leader in CANNON) that doesn't mean the being evil part wasn't fun. I hope the DNK comes back with -2 as their evil leader.

I do wish 86 had got to meet -86.

I've always considered Lizzie a villian in the show. She's always been selfish and mean, and she didn't really seem to care for Nigel's feelings one bit. But in this season, she obviously a hero. She took out one of the Chicket Bucket employees in NUGGET and this episode she took out -1. I wonder if she be making more heroic appearances this season or if she sell out Nigel for a slice of cake again.

Anyone else noticed that Wallabee's dad's 2nd job was at the Chicken Bucket. He works for the Delightfuls now!

Awsome!!! I love this episode! Just plain cool! Everything is so awsome! A negative world where opposites exist! Where the DC are good guys. Where the KND are the baddies, where you think Numbuh 86 can't get any eviler! At least one thing is confirmed in this episode: Numbuh 4 is obsessed with being handsome!

Why is it that I'm the only one who didn't really enjoy this episode then everyone else? =\ I mean, yeah, it was cool... but it just kind of made me raise my eyebrow. I don't know..

I'm afraid I'm going to have to be the voice of desent. While this episode did have its high points (like Four's lovely math of two plus two equaling pizza and defeating Negative Four), I was a bit disappointed in the episode.

I guess I was sort of hoping it'd run something along the lines of that old SWAT Kats episode "Dark Side of the SWAT Kats" where the good guys are truly evil in the negative universe. I was hoping to see something like Father had started the Kids Next Door (or, rather, Destructive Nefarious Children) as his enforcers. I mean, I guessed from the outset that Negative Four would be the leader of the DNK but I was still sorta hoping that Father would be involved somehow.

The wrap-up was a little too rushed for my tastes. Negative Two's line of "Who needs friends when you're an operative?" (paraphrased) seems to imply that these guys really don't like each other: They're only working together out of necessity. Plus Negative Three slaps Negative Five. Yet at the end, they're all buddy buddy. Where'd that come from?

Negative Two's "funny" lines were sometimes funny and sometimes not. I found him more amusing when he was being serious.

I felt bad for Negative One the entire way through, but that could be maternal instincts kicking in. Though it was interesting to see this cowed version of Numbuh 1, I still would've liked to have seen a nasty, cruel version of him. (Same with the other operatives...though we did get to see that nasty, cruel version of Three, and that was cool.)

But as far as the points I liked, I loved the minor detail that the artists put into the scene where Negative Eighty-Six has cornered One and Lizzie. In "END," there's a plus symbol targeting things on the helmets of the decomissioning operatives. In "POOL," that plus symbol has been replaced with a minus sign. Mad props to the artists!

As I said before, Numbuh 4 shone through in this episode with his little bits. I especially liked the credits thing (shown this morning at 9:00) where he does his "Buried in the sand!" thing again. Only we get to hear the whole song this time! Yay!

Overall, I gave it a 6.5 out of 10. I'll be posting a more complete review on my LJ.

I Love this episode! Especially the goatee on -4's chin. I wonder what would happen if he didn't have the goatee. Also the LTDFCD are so Kewl! I'm single LTDFCD boys! Come see me if you ever visit the positive world Dudes LOL!

[OneEyedPimp20]

Okay I think I'm the first one to see the ending sequence. Numbuh 4 was in his swimming pool and he's stuck in the sand in his pool and he said, "Now that's what I call a pool party." He was singing his guitar riff all day long. The swimming pool became a sandbox! XD CLASSIC! Keep those reviews going.

[numbuh128bit]

If you mean the one that came on today at 9:00, it's no wonder I dodn't see it. I have to watch Sonic X at that time since it doesn't rerun like KND does. I"ve recorded every episode of Sonic X so far and don't intend to stop.

[homunculi7]

Ah, I always miss the new ending sequences, I keep forgetting they come on and I never stick around to watch them. But I will some day.

You aren't the only one, it wasn't my favorite either and neither did Cybra. She gave it the same rating I did, so you an't alone. *hugs*
