Okay, how many long-time Futurama fans were saying "Death by Snu Snu?" Sadly I have to say I was, especially after the bone crushing hug she gave Dr. D. The friend I'm trying to get hooked on KP said that was the first thing he thought of too. I almost feel sorry for Dr. D, almost. And my thoughts about Warmonga seemed close, she was similar to a Tamaranian from DC Comics: very intelligent, but not very much common sense/tact... and emotional extremists (most cultures don't glomp their leaders with bone crushing hugs, or throw people through a door for a disagreement). There were some obvious differences, but I like the common themes.

Will she get tired of waiting on Pluto and realize her mistake? (Considering Warmonga's apparent intelligence, I'd say Drakken has a long wait ahead of him) This left me asking the question, why Pluto? Didn't Pluto lose its "planet status" a while back? Maybe Disney just isn't willing to give up on a classic astronomical pun, especially when it seems taylor made for their own marketing department. (After all, now that we've lost Pluto, the only good astro-pun we have left is the one with "Uranus.")

Who voted two options on the bottom? That's a shocker.

This is perhaps one of the top episodes I have ever seen! I loved Warmonga! Her ideology is much like the Mandalorians...which I suspected as much! I also loved the staff she used, excellent stuff! She also seemed to have sentimental feelings for the Great Bluee, but whatver. I think it's incredible that the writers went ahead with having Shego saving Kim's life. I'm pretty sure I recall they said the villians are to remain villians...but Shego turned out to be like an onion! (As in the layers...) I sure hope Warmonga will return for more episodes...I seriously enjoyed teh way Kim took her on. That was a really intense battle! Especially with the way Drakken finally got thrown through the roof! LOLZ!!! ;D But, I can't for the life of me recall what species Warmonga said she was, and what conquests she achieved. 5/5 Boo-and-Yaah!!

I was totally thinking snu-snu too, in fact I mentioned it in my review a few pages back ^^ In fact, Warmonga was similar to those Futurama gals in several ways: 1) Giantess 2) Amazon-like-warrior-nature 3) Voice/Accent and er, 4) Alien.
PS. Don't be dissin' Kigo guys! We know K/R's canon, so don't rub it in the faces of Kigo shippers by stating that it's REAL. Saying things like 'wrongsick' could easily be construed as a wider attack than just the 'ship, if you know what I mean. But moving on.....

*shudders at the bondage and W/S* W/S was already making it towards the top of my "not favorite ship" list, why did you have to make it worse by adding in bondage (which weirds me out in any form). BTW, was I the only one wishing I was a masseuse in Greece at the end of the episode? OFF-TOPIC: Shego turned out to be like an onion! (As in the layers...) Parfait, Shego is like a parfait. Many layers of... goodness.

^^ no, no no, I heard Pluto remained a planet, and they decided that it's three moons are now also planets. On topicness, I was afraid we'd have some new Shego shippy fans after this episode...but, moving on... WFTS, I see Warmonga's ideology to her leader is almost similar to the Mandalorians...Mandalore, being Drakken, was believed he would reunite the Mandalorian clans under one banner and regain their honor by leading them into war against the Republic. I hate the fact she resembles those silly Amazonian feminine creatures from that cartoon, futurama!

I wanted Warmonga to have a more... manly voice but... And I agree with the P.S. No further comments. My cousins and I watched Mad Dogs and Aliens last night. Both of them were like silent through the whole thing. I dunno how they felt. I guess they liked it. Though, my cousin can't do the splits like Kim. Oh, well. I gotta admit, I want a massage by Midas now. He's Greek, he's got the golden touch. I love how we don't see Kim react to Ron in a towel. I swear, if it was me, I would have hit the boy for going into the sauna. LOL. But, I love that Sauna scene. Ron's in a towel (nothing but), Shego's in a bathing suit, and Kim is the only one fully clothed. Perfection. LOL. I got everything I ever wanted.

First things first - I am not going anywhere near the latest endless, fruitless Kigo debate. This is not a presidential election. There are no undecideds out there. Either you see it, or you don't. No one is changing their mind. Now, as for the episode itself, I thought it was highly entertaining. I think the most interesting thing about it is the possible long-term impact this has on the Drakken/Shego relationship. Certainly there has been rifts before, with "Twin Factor" being the obvious example. So it's certainly possible that by the time we see them again, they'll have settled their differences and be working together again. I hope that's not the case. While I personally believe that by the end of Season Four they'll be a duo again, I think the show would be better served if it continued to explore their criminal careers without each other. I think this is very likely. Unlike Twin Factor, there's blame to go around, reasons for both of them to be angry with each other. Shego saved Kim's life (and got Warmonga to leave, but Drakken wouldn't know that since he'd been ejected before Shego revealed her role). Drakken fired her, replaced her, put her in restraints, and made her watch as he "took over the world" without her. It would be really great if Season Four not only continued to bring back old villains like the creators have said, but used their star villains without doing the "same old, same old" partnership. Drakken having to find assistance from other sources (Lucre, I imagine, is bound to return). Shego trying to figure out what direction she wants to take. And by the season finale, both people realize that okay, they drive each other nuts, but they don't really belong anywhere else. (This is not me saying I think they should be a couple. Eep.) As for the rest of the episode, I thought the action was really great - once again Kim is betrayed by her own super suit. I hope Kim realizes that having that "shield" power is a tremendous liability as well as a power, that she'll never know the next time she puts her shield up instead of dodging away whether or not it's capable of penetrating. The whole thing at the Greek spa was great - Ron sitting with the old men in the sauna. Shego in a bathing suit (Apparently the credit card companies have no problem issuing cards to a convicted thief. Ill-gotten gains are perfectly acceptable as payment, I guess.) Kim and Shego's relationship as something less than completely antagonistic - only the second time since GTG, and it was a pleasure to watch For me, this episode is the gold standard against which I will measure subsequent episodes. 5/5 Sincerely, Allaine

I said nothing close to a flame. It started with a Kigo shipper stating Kim/Ron fans are blind. Thats what got me started. It is REAL and this is no lie or no flame. I was not the first one in this thread who said "wrongsick" the Admin said it..This is the last i will say on this. Im not trying to get the last word in but i just had to correct you on a few things. What have i said in this thread thats can be took as a flame? Nothing. I have not dissed Any person. Dont make this out like im trying to start something because i don't like being called BLIND! Now please can we drop this? Thank you. It's like i dont know what i can say here anymore without people saying it's a flame. I mean i dont want to get in trouble so im holding back saying things i dont think are flames but others might. Im honeslty not trying to disrespect anybody. Im just gonna stay out of this thread for now on. Moving on.....I was not a big fan of Warmonga this episode. I think she could have been used better but she in no way ruined the episode for me.

I loved this eppie, found it just as good as some of the earlier season 1-2 fare, but not as good as Ill-Suited, or other Season 4 episodes.

I have this funny episode idea, when Kim and Shego try to become "off the clock" friends.
