He’s a chicken, I tell you, a giant chicken! “The Eggman Cometh”

[akinoame]

The team needs to brush up on their classic Power Rangers. How do you mistake a pterodactyl for a dragon? Unless you’re using it to push a Kim/Tommy ship? It really drives me nuts because they do this ALL EPISODE until it finally dawns on Gwen at the end that they're dinosaurs. Somewhere in Reefside, Dr. O is facepalming. Also, does Kevin not have emergency brakes on his car? Jury-Rig (sp?) might have destroyed the foot brake, but they have a backup just for that. Well, assuming that car companies plan for Ben Tennyson, which they probably do in this universe.

Okay, the whole Animo Farms thing really breaks the suspension of disbelief for me. I mean, come on. One of Ben’s oldest enemies starts up his own company and goes public like that? Really? Really? That’s like the Joker opening up a comedy club and running ads saying, “Batsy, not doing anything evil! Hahahaha!” It’s obviously a trap, and anyone trying that hard and failing to seem like a hick is really suspicious.

This episode is really stupid. Harmless, at least, but stupid. Tons of “Evolution does not work that way!” coupled with the headdesking of how you can’t solve problems like global warming that fast and it’s insulting in a kids’ superhero show (note what I said about “The Widening Gyre”). Also, the problem of humanity evolving, as shown with the Stupid Evil Sheriff? Yeah. We’re all becoming either Agito or Orphnochs. We’re doomed.

I don't know about you, but I think the last episode was better. I do have to admit that I did laugh at this episode because I thought that it was so dumb. There is one thing that bugs me: If Ken's car is broken on account of Ben's new alien transformation...why didn't they just take Ben's car so that it might not break down on them again when they need to get to their destination?!

And speaking of the Joker, I remember that episode back in Justice League where he did a television broadcast in Las Vegas. Okay, now that was well done on his parts. Dr. Animo in this? Bleh.

I just kept seeing Beastboy instead of those dinosaurs because the color and the eyes were spot on.
