I really liked this episode a lot and it's probably one of my most favorites in the series(after "Girl Trouble"), and I really enjoyed reading your review about it. Because I'm somewhat of a film freak, I enjoyed some of the "movie parodies" in this episode and I love it when you pointed them out in your review.
I thought that this episode rocks so much that I can't tell whether I like because I love Anodyte characters in this series (yes, that includes bratty Cousin Sunny) and bias about it, or just the fact that this episode does have a lot of meaning to Max and Verdona's start-out love adventure. Because Max hinted that how he met Verdona again is a story for another time, I'm hoping to see more.
Anyway, I thought that this episode was really good from beginning to the end and I really think that your review did it some justice...as always.
Good luck with your other writing projects.
