Well i give this a 4/5 basically just like i did cupid effect because the interupted kiss killed me. It's no fair. The ending made me smile though. So 4/5.

If you are a Kigo shipper, this ep is going to be the cornerstone of your existance for years to come. MudWrestling? Shego saves Kimmie? Cupcake? I thought they were gonna kiss in the end there. Wow! I bow to Brian Swenlin for that. Though, now that I've seen Warmonga, I must say she's pretty cute... But, setting my shipping preferences aside, the episode would have been great without those moments. I've rarely been as continually surprised by each new episode like I have been by each new S4 episode so far. I keep finding myself comparing this season to the 2nd season of The Venture Bros. Like that, every episode of S4 so far has been a joy to watch. There's a giddily heightened sense of energy and fervor in these that hasn't been present in the series before. The writing and pacing are incredibly punchy and tight, with nary a wasted moment, and the acting and animation has been top-level. If the crew is out to prove there's vastly more life in this show beyond this new season, they've already convinced me. Now, I did have some reservations about the alien storyline, but they've been all but vanquished with this episode. I think the only thing that could ruin it would be if Warmonga is overused - because unless she has a huge personality change (pun intended unintentionally), she's more of a one or two-time recurring character like the Bebes. However, having a sense of the people on the show's staff, I don't think they'll allow that to happen - besides, Bob and Mark aren't strangers to alien characters, what with their tenure on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and all. I think it's a safe bet they won't fall flat with whataver more involving Warmonga they've got up their sleeve. It's hard to pick a favourite scene from this ep, I have so many...but I think I'll go with the capper during the credits. Hilariously unexpected, and a great use of Motor Ed's mannerisms to turn the tides on Lucre. 5/5. Seriously. I think you nailed it perfectly there Ravenstar, and in fact I have to Agree point for point.. This one episode alone takes the KP storyline and kicks it up a coulple of notches. and if Bob, Mark, and Steve have any more tricks up their sleeves, believe me this Season will be the most memorable to date. Now I do have to Agree Warmonga may look cute to some folks, but don't let the cuteness fool you.. Also I have a feeling you may be right, They might keep Warmonga on a low level almost up until the end, then kick this show right to the top notch.. After all this was the first time we ever saw Warmonga in Battle and in fact I love how they really made her work quite well with the story line. I feel that maybe in the next 15 to 16 episodes we'll be seeing Warmonga back at least 1 more time before we take it to the upper end of this season. Frankly I too have studied Bob and Mark's Buzz Lightyear episodes inside and out, and for Every Buzz Episode there's an equivalence in the KP Universe. and tonight's episode really shows that this show can be taken up a level and not leave the fans disappointed. However i also feel that for a Disney Channel show, if there were to be a season 5, (and Knowing Bob, Mark and Steve, they'll leave just enough room), I really doubt that this show could exist still on Disney Channel due to the S and P Disney has..(Though if they were to say switch it over to say ABC Family and continue the story there, then there is a chance KP Could go farther. In closing I have to say that everytime a new KP Ep comes up, it makes me think back to day 1 when I thought to myself, "They're ending this on a kiss? How could they?" But it seems the fans had their say and in the end, the fans won out. They wanted more they got it in spades, and this episode proves it. I don't know what could happen but like it's been said before. Anything's Possible.Tucsoncoyote--

Just caught the episode at the late hour I usually do. Wasn't too bad, I love the Midas comment at the end for some really dumb reason. I don't rate the episodes because impressions of mine just make me give it a five, let's just say it was a 4.5 to be fair.
The interrupted kiss killed me too, Nick. I was really pissed off at wade because of that. buh.

Nah^ It was just for comedy and all. Nothing wrong with that. Just Kim and Ron talking to each other in a different way than before makes my skin get goosebumps.

A couple of young women mud-wrestling is not your standard Disney Channel stuff. Are they pushing the envelope here or what? (Not that I mind).
A very entertaining episode. I'd rank it just a little behind Ill-Suited and Cupid Effect. Great to see Drakken back in action.

Awesome! I especially loved all the Shego one liners and the great shippy moments for Kim and Ron.

Awesome episode, too many different things for me to talk about (and most have probably been mentioned already), but Shego's banter with Ed, Warmonga, Dr. D, and Kim were a definite highlight.
I'd go with 3.5/5 if I could, so I'll round and say 4/5.

Wow. Amazing what'll happen overnight. When the reviews came in with nothing but fives, I was really pulling for a perfect score. Ah, well, can't expect everyone to have the same opinion. Still say it's a great episode that has something for everyone.

I need to add this, I guess Warmonga is one to let somebody gloat. Swear if she didn't want her talking bad about Drakken surprised we didn't see her Gag shego (not that I didn't love everything she said there) I was just kinda stunned on that not happening after she heard alot of what Shego said.
Just a random thought to add.

I'm with Ace, this is my fave episode of the season so far!!! HIGHLIGHTS:* FABULOUS MUSIC BY ALAN BERRY! SERIOUSLY AWESOME! * Ron's 'Moment of Silence' during cheer practice was hilarious! Turning off the lights! LOL! * Ron crying over his mascot head - SO SO SO SEXY! * Warmonga the Lorvordian sounded exactly like I thought she would! Snu Snu! * Oooh, in prison - we learnt the name of a possible new villain! Pyro Pete! * Moody Ron ['cause of the whole Mad Puppies sitch] was so hot! * ZOMG! Shego and Kim mud wrestling! Looks like we have the answer to the Reality vs Rumor thread! * Ron wearing nothing but a towel in a steam room! *DIES* Seriously hot! [no pun intended!] * I seriously think the 'Great Blue' is Zorpox. And when Warmonga realizes that the con the Tweebs played on her isn't for real - SHE'LL BE BACK! * So Warmonga comes from a military-ish race? My Klingon resemblance prediction was pretty accurate. * The Warmonga/Drakken and Drakken/Shego shipping was fever-pitch hot this episode! * The fight scenes were AMAZING. * Warmonga's battle-cry is her own name? EGO MUCH?! * Btw, the oxygen-stealing machine was pretty scary! Everyone woulda been dead 'cept Drakken! * The Kim/Ron shipping is actually pretty awesome in this episode, but my gawd - the tacky guitar riff whenever they get shippy is getting old. * K/R were gonna kiss again, and then Wade interupted them!!! Dear lord, second time! * And ooh, there were several Kigo-ish scenes this episode too! i.e. the mud-wrestling, Shego saving Kim from Warmonga etc. Take that, Someguy! ;D * The Ending blurb rawked! Loved the role-reversal with Frugal Lucre getting annoyed by Motor Ed. BEST QUOTES EVER:Kim: "Saving the world has other perks too...cuter boyfriends!" Ron: "Failure has never sounded so soothing!" Warmonga: "Oh, frackle!" Drakken: "No hugs!" Shego: *weakly* "No you di'n't!" Shego: "This alien would follow a blue sock-puppet if it said it was the Great Blue!" Warmonga: *at seeing Stealth-Kim* "Hey, wow!" Shego: *about the spa guy* "Midas has the golden touch" And ooh, lookie what I spotted: It's creepy-eye Kim from the Season 4 promos! Wade as he witnesses a K/R moment - CLASSIC! I give this episode a 5/5

My mother even liked the episode. Of course, she won the bet of Kim helping Shego with Warmonga on a technicality... but still. I have to admit, like Avenger, I wasn't sure if I liked the Alien concept, but it worked for me, and I was one happy KP fan. Wade! You've got to QUIT DOING THAT (if you've seen it, you know what I mean!) Was I seeing things, or was there a tribute to a certain fanfic in there? I agree. I wanted to freaking beat Wade with a stick. But I liked him doing the Kimmunicator beep. Classic. I saw that. I screamed out in happiness. I was just talking to the writer of that fanfic about an hour or so before too. I think that the thing that kinda bugs me is that the cheerleading squad (Bonnie excluded) still seems to have no respect for Ron. You'd think that they show some acknowledgment or respect now that he's stepped up and become the Middleton running-back. I blame Bonnie. She's got a hold on them. I was very happy to see Tara among the cheerleaders though. Ending (before the credits) with Kim walking into the sunset as football player/cheerleader has got to be a top 5 K/R moment. Some great jokes in this one. My wife even dropped what she was doing to walk over to the TV to see this one. That moment won the episode for me. It won a spot in my top ten favorite episodes. It won it easily. It made me cry, it still gets me emotional when I see it. That made the episode out of this world great. Or— and truly, friends, I'm not possessed by the spirits of Rinacat, Allaine, or Clayton— but this time there really did seem to be some kind of sexually-charged undercurrent to Shego's use of "Kimmie" and "Cupcake" while attempting to explain herself at the end. If I wanted to be witty, I'd say I blame the mud wrestling. And I don't know what to make of Kim's reaction either, though I imagine the Kigo shippers will have a field day with this one. Kim did let her go, but then Shego did just save the world, and Kim usually only busts foes if they're presently being bad. Okay, sure, why not make up an episode that in some way acknowledges Kigo shipping, as well as "Shego Rocks"? Kim's got Ron, and seems unusually enthusistic about him this time around. Is this just to counterbalance the Kigo hints? Or are Kim and Ron getting hotter? Now that Ron's on the team, Kim's cheers are getting, uh, well, when has she ever done the splits on top of a pyramid before? Ashley, your theories are looking more likely with each passing episode. As for Shego, she's got Midas, the same sort of hunk she usually goes for while on vacation. Anybody wanna ship Shego/Midas? It could be canon, at least this episode. He's got the Midas touch I have to admit, there was a few Kigo-ish moments in this episode. That mud-wrestling scene had me screaming like a wretched school-girl. I mean, I have some... Kigo-esque feelings, but K/R will always be the win for it. I loved it. But Shego's character with her undertoning sexuality was wonderful. It was almost like she was back to normal. Oh, hell yeah. When my mother and I watched the episode about two hours after the ep aired, I almost made a comment about Kim's... erm... split, but I was like, "No further comments." *happy thoughts* I agree, I'm always gonna stick by my theories that they may have had some hot moments after the events of "Ill-Suited" but this just confirmed it for me. I was so shipping Shego/Midas by the end of the episode. It was very suggestive the way Shego said, "Midas has the... er, Golden Touch." And her look. Oh, wow. I just want to say That I really loved this episode. So much fuel in this one that it'll keep the KP philosophers busy for weeks if not months, or, hopefully, years. Ashley hinted at it, but I have to concur, Warmonga has QUITE the figure, even though she looks to be over 10 feet tall as seen from the long shots. All in all, one of the best written and produced eppies of all time. I wonder how I'd get a ride to Pluto? In the cosmic scheme of things, it's really not that far. I hope she realizes how the tweebs duped her, and comes back with a vengeance. Hmmm... anybody thinking of the finale? If she DOES return, it would take EVERYBODY, heroes AND Villains to do a team-up to take HER out. I totally concur with this. I mean, there were moments that I was afraid Warmonga's boobage was gonna fall out, cuz it certainly looked about ready to. Luckily, I'm not into Aliens. Shego for the win! If you are a Kigo shipper, this ep is going to be the cornerstone of your existance for years to come. MudWrestling? Shego saves Kimmie? Cupcake? I thought they were gonna kiss in the end there. Wow! Can you imagine that? Poor Kimmy would have been so screwed up. But, DANG that would have made the episode more better. Of course, the episode was perfection as is. My question is, who put that graffiti there? Was it Drakken, in an effort to stroke Shego's ego? Or did Shego do it herself, in an act of self-glorification? Or was it an anonymous vagabond or lurking villain-wannabe? I think that it was Shego. I mean, Shego's young enough to pull of the bubble letter graffitti. Plus, it makes me happy to think she's so cool like that to grafitti the lair! A couple of young women mud-wrestling is not your standard Disney Channel stuff. Are they pushing the envelope here or what? (Not that I mind). Well, there was an episode from season 1 of the suite life where Maddie and London get into this wrestling match (fight) on the floor of the Tipton and the twins are like, "this would be much better with pudding." That episode made me a London/Maddie shipper. I just wish Ron was there. But, he was too busy talking to old Greek men in towels. Ron in a towel was great, but... old men? Oy. Wow. Amazing what'll happen overnight. When the reviews came in with nothing but fives, I was really pulling for a perfect score. Ah, well, can't expect everyone to have the same opinion. Still say it's a great episode that has something for everyone. I was shocked too. This episode was freakin' amazing for me. But, I'm a bit biased. I like aliens. I freaking loved this episode. I may owe my mom 5 dollars, but I don't care! It was KP and it's so worth it. This teen hero fan went to bed with a smile on her face last night, that's for sure.

What would have added to the mud wrestling scene, if some misc. guy was watching, and reacted like most guys would to two girls mud wrestling, and cheering them on, saying something like "Let's go ladies", or "This so hot". Than Kim and Shego instinctly both kick him at the same time.

I think that would have ruined it for me.
It would have made it dirty.
It was perfectly innocent the way it was. The moment a guy saw it... it would have de-innocence it.
