The "after credits" scenes are hilarious: "jumping the shark", Draken in the jail, Rufus/Debutant and "Shh, I like weird" that´s epilogues was a great adiction to the show.
This episode was awesome, I never think Professor Dementor a big threat like Drakken or Monkey fist. (because he only appears the major villain in one or two episodes) Professor Dementor in this episode was incrediable: traps, study the enemy, neutralize the super suit... and the quotes: Dementor: Kim Possible Ron: And boyfriend Dementor: I seriously doub that. Ron: No dude, it's true really Dementor: Sorry just can't believe it.
Ron: Dude, you're totally wearing a dress Dementor: It's a house coat! Ron: Yeah, uh-hu dress!
Kim: Ugh I have been foiled by a man in a dress? Dementor:It's a house coat!

I taped all four too.
Why do people like this episode the best? I like it yes, but it's not my favorite of the 4 that aired.

A long awaited return. The start of something new.Kim Possible returns for a hard fought for fourth season, kicking off with the seminal episode, “Ill-Suited.” Senior Year has begun and Kim and Ron are adjusting to their new roles, not just as Seniors but as girlfriend and boyfriend, while still dealing with villains bent on world conquest. Specifically, in this ep, Professor Dementor. The show starts where the movie So the Drama left off, picking up from Kim and Ron’s passionate kiss at the Junior Prom. As Ron breaks the kiss, Kim horribly melts away right in front of him! He screams and it is revealed that it is merely a nightmare. One that appears to have occurred at least a couple times by now. Ron is having some confidence issues when it comes to his new relationship with Kim and the negative remarks from Dementor and then Bonnie, Kim’s high school rival and self-proclaimed “Queen Bee”, do not help to improve the boy’s mentality. This leads to some rather poor decision-making on Ron’s part. The story plays out, Dementor is defeated, and Ron begins to accept that what he and Kim have is real. There were high expectations leading up to this fourth season. And more than a few doubts about whether or not the series could maintain the excellence achieved in Season 3 and, most notably, So the Drama ( StD). “Ill-Suited” not only puts all those doubts to rest, but exceeds every single expectation as well. To say this is the best episode of the series (at least up to this point) is not hyperbole or exaggeration. The story, acting, and animation (all with some new, added edginess) are at optimum levels for enjoyment. As stated, the story picks up right where StD left off, letting us all remember where we left Kim and Ron and also letting new viewers know exactly what the sitch is. Kim’s melting however, a frightening sequence, quickly asserts the new season’s new edginess as well as showing us that not all is well in K/R land. The meat and potatoes of the episode revolves around Ron trying to prove his worth to Kim (and, more importantly, to himself), although making some poor (and hilarious) choices on just how to do that. Ron’s insecurity is presented and explored so well, from his dreams to Bonnie’s interference to even some off-the-cuff remarks from Dementor, it is easy to understand why the boy feels the way he does. And it makes it all the more rewarding when he is finally able to reconcile these insecurities. Dementor makes a surprisingly suitable villain and, finally given a chance to own the stage, shows that he may be one of the most dangerous and insanely humorous villains on the series. He contains an unmatched intelligence, true malice, and insane over-the-top style of speaking that we have not really gotten to see from him before. The episode also does a great job of re-introducing Kim’s super suit, then just as quickly removing it as a viable option for Kim to use all the time. (Something that may have made her almost too powerful through the rest of the season.) The acting in the episode was solid and all around humorous, yet poignant. Christy Carlson Romano, although sounding noticeably different, has brought a little more maturity to Kim’s voice. Although she hasn’t aged that much since StD, the onslaught of Senior Year, as well as the fact that she has a boyfriend, may be causing Kim to act more grown-up. Not only that, but there also seems to be a slightly more easy-going attitude to Kim, mostly likely because of her new relationship with Ron. Will Friedle is as good as he’s ever been, providing Ron with his eternally goofy voice and style of speech. Will also does an excellent job portraying Ron’s insecurities during this episode. (And some excellent ad-libbing for a couple of the more humorous scenes.) Patrick Warburton and Kirsten Storms return as Mr. Barkin and Bonnie Rockwaller, respectively. Barkin is as gruff and tough as ever, yet seems to be showing a softer side towards Ron. (Is it because he’s a Senior? Because he’s landed Kim as a girlfriend? ::shrug: Patrick is doing fantastic switching quickly between Barkin’s emotions, whom seems far more bi-polar than in previous seasons. And Bonnie has become even meaner and more bitter with new boyfriend Ron, another “win” for Kim, hanging over Bonnie’s head. Kirsten is solid, also bringing a slightly matured voice to Senior Bonnie and just oozing with maliciousness and resentment. Finally, we have Patton Oswalt delivering a commanding performance as Professor Dementor. For a villain who was more or less pushed to the background in previous seasons, Dementor gets a starring role here. And Patton Oswalt is allowed to go full swing, delivering, and knocking this one out of the park. Perhaps his best performance to date. The animation in “Ill-Suited”, although not quite reaching the heights of the feature-quality So the Drama, is still improved over the three seasons before it. The character designs have been refined and streamlined, most notably Kim who seems to be a little more filled out and solid than before. The fight scenes are better choreographed and of a higher intensity than previously seen. And, what is most striking about the new season, are the risks that are being taken with camera angles. Director Steve Loter set up some very interesting shots in this premiere episode. Angles such as a framing of Dementor through a space under Kim’s arm, as well as a cinematic pan while the villain explained his evil plan, are not often seen in most television shows, let alone animated ones. They really put a lot of effort into making this episode, and the series itself, beyond anything you’ve seen before. And it really paid off. “Ill-Suited” starts Kim Possible’s Season 4 off on an extremely high note. It takes a well-deserved position as best episode of the series and shows a lot of promise for where the season, and the series, will head from here. If this first episode is any indication, Season 4 is going to rock. HURRICANE ROCK!

After watching this again, I've noticed the plot parallels with Aladdin, if you look hard. 1. Hero (Ron/Aladdin) wants to impress a girl (Kim/Jasmine) to win/keep her. 2. Hero finds unimaginable power (supersuit/Genie) and uses it to be something he's not (a jock/ a prince) 3. Villain (Dementor/Jafar) harnesses power, uses to show the Hero's charade in front of the girl. 4. Hero finds way to use the power against the Villain (stop hitting yourself/itty-bitty living space) 5. Hero stops pretending, and girl still likes him.

Bonnie, however, busts Kim's bubble by telling her that, as a senior, it's a rule to date an athlete. Kim tries to defend Ron, claiming that he's the exception, but Bonnie shoots her down with her retort of "He's the reason for the rule."
That her sceme?!That is how she tried to make Kim dumped Ron?!

I liked it, I 'spose... It was good in most respects, but two things happened I kinda hoped wouldn't..
1) The supersuit came into the picture A LOT more. It kinda makes me think that she's lost her edge, being able to defeat bad guys through other means, like fighting or melting the building and trapping them in there. She's gonna realize that she doesn't need the suit, except in special cases...
2) Romantic Comedy. Sure, heaps of actual comdey happened, some parts were pretty funny, but then there's the fluffy moments... I'd expect it but, yeah...
I really loved the new eps, but these two things keep me from squeeing. Plus the lack of Drakken and Shego.
Though this part was upmost hilarity. "Cheating on you!" *a beat* "For you!"

It's one of many "Heroes Journey" archetypes that's likely to crop up time and time again. When you write enough stories, you often don't even notice them happening anymore, because it's happening intuitively. Sometimes you will notice certain elements and choose to emphasize them, other times, you just ride the wave.

Really loved that one. Probably my favourite of the Season 4 episodes till now. While I did miss Drakken and Shego, I always enjoyed seeing Dementor, and he was really GREAT in this one.
'Who's wearing the girly clothes now?!' ;D

I'm hoping to find a first (or even final) draft of this script to post as my KP sample on www.swenlin.com - I lost everything on my home computer during The Great Hard Drive Crash of '06, but I'm pretty sure I have a back up drive with my work stuff on it. If I ever dig it up, I'll let you know so you can see some of the stuff that was eventually cut for time.

I'd love to see that, Swenlin.
I read the draft of Steal Wheels on your site yesterday and was so saddened that Monique got the shaft in the episode.

I just read the script. Monique was rockin' in that episode! (and it would have given me some glimmer of wannabe evidence for Felix/Monique). She always struck me as a gamer girl.

Omg omg, I can FINALLY read this thread without spoilers as Family Channel finally got the premiere, a boo-yah! ;D All I can say was this episode was TOTALLY AWESOME, and it's great to see KP back in action. It's also nice to see the characters are still very colourful and deliver their unique personalities, such as Bonnie's harsh "He's the reason for the rule", and Dementor's usual craziness and yelling ;D K/R relation seems to be in good standing...it seems Kim is definitely over her social pressures. It's great to see those two together However, only one thing bugs me...did anyone else think it was slightly more random than usual, and that it almost seemed as though Dementor and Barkin were trying to hard? Don't get me wrong, they are still the characters we know and love, but it just seemed like they were overkilling Dementor at rare times, and Barkin seemed a little...louder than usual Might just be me, though...being KP-deprived for so long can confuse you Still awesome episode, though!

I think Dementor was a little more...eccentric than usual. eg. calling mother, collectibles, hot water comment, house coat lol. LOL, I found it funny - but yeah, definitely not what we're used to.

At the same time, we really haven't seen a whole lot of Dementor.

That's true. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved Dementor, I guess I just wasn't used to getting such a large slice of him this time! ;D

Perhaps Dementor is someone we need to learn to love slowly.

That's true. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved Dementor, I guess I just wasn't used to getting such a large slice of him this time! ;D I wasn't expecting Dementor to yell so many of his lines, but Patton got excited and just kind of ran with it - and then we all thought it was pretty hilarious, so we ran with it too. It makes me think Dementor definitely has anger issues.
