Okay, someone forgot to do a talkback for the new DD episode that aired tonight (and will air again at 12:30AM) So I'll just make one now.

"VillianStruck" - Dodgers and Cadet have to stop a pretty boy villian named.... uh, I kindda forgot the name but he's voiced by Tim Curry, from flooding the earth in order for it to be a perfect blue. However, this guy's got everyone mesmorized under his celbertiy like status and handsomeness, inculuding our two heroes!

This was a pretty good but not that great episode. It was sort of like "Diva Delivery" except both Dodgers and Cadets showed signs of celebrity worshipness (espcially Dodgers) and the guy in question was evil. Tim Curry did a very good job making the characters come alive I'll admitt.

Highlights: I.Q High Asking for an autograph, The assistant quickly leaving when The Pretty Boy Villian fires him, Cadet fleeing to X2's ship and the ending with Cadet and Dodgers zapping off.

Grade: 3 Out of 5 Stars.

"Just The Two Of Us" - Cadet finally gets a vacation away from Dodgers, as do the Centaruions away from X2. Dodger's and X2's ship crash, which forces the Duck and The Martian onto a desert planet where they must band together to stay alive... or at least that's what the the Martin Commander thinks anyway.

Just about as good as the other episode. I thought it was nice to see Commander and Dodgers have so much screen time together (Joe must of put in a lot to be voicing all of they're scenes) and the Cadet/Centaurions subplot was also fun. It could of been better (maybe have them crash land a bit earlier for more time in the desert or something) but it was still pretty good.

Highlights: Dodgers sleep record (although didn't he sleep for three days in "Samurai Quack?" That's more then 34 hours), the Cadet and Centuarions hanging around at the beach and playing volleyball with the single female nurse team, Dodgers stealing Commander's last match and then at the end having a Wilson like cocunut.

Grade: 3 Out of 5 Stars.

Overall: 3 Out of 5 Stars.

Caught "Just the Two of Us" and it was my favorite out of the two. Its a funny dynamic to know that Cadet and the Sentinals could be friends if it weren't for Dodgers and X2. The big white beards were out of control! I also liked the "Castaway" refrence with the volleyball.

IMO good episode I liked how in just the two of us where X2 reveals he has no friends and Dodgers says what a loser I have tons of friends

Yeah, I caught that myself. BTW, did anyone catch that Perfect Storm reference in "VillainStruck" as well?

Tim Curry making his first animated voice-over appearance since Duckman abruptly ended its run on USA. What a concept. Makes me want to do the Time Warp again. :D

Uh.....

NO!!!!

Sorry to yell, I just don't like it when someone ignores Tim Curry's work on Mighty Ducks, The Mask, Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandeigo, The Wild Thornberrys, Hey Arnold, Recess, Big Guy And Rusty The Boy Robot, Courage The Cowarldy Dog, Gary And Mike, Teacher's Pet, Ozzy And Drix, The Adventures Of Jimmy Nuetron: Boy Genius, Teamo Supremo and Mucha Lucha to think he's doing a time warp, it kind of pisses me off. I mean come on, do your reaserch DocForbin.:p

I thought both eps weren't too bad at all. I enjoyed Tim Curry in the first part. He always makes a great villain.;) I also enjoyed Cadet & the robots playing volleyball with the nurse-bikini-girl team.;) :nurse:

3 stars for this show. I'm really starting to enjoy this series lately.:D

I didn't care for Villianstruck. It bored me. I liked Tim Curry's performance and of course our pals Joe and Bob, but other than that it was forgettable.

Just the Two of Us was better. I too liked the out of control beards and I REALLY liked the Cadet dashing off to shore leave without a second thought. It was great to hear Joe Alsakey talking to himself so much. I wonder if he did Dodgers and Marvin's voices seperately or just went back and forth between himself. Either way he was histerical. And who doesn't like Wilson references?

First cartoon: **. Second cartoon: ***1/2. Average: ***.

Tim Curry completely, utterly stole the show. His voice acting possessed a quality that I would expect from an animated motion picture intended for the big screen.

I loved these two episodes. Tim Curry was awesome (as he usually is in whatever project he undertakes). My favorite though would have to be "Just the Two of Us." The centurions were hilarious! Meanwhile, did anyone notice that Commander X-2 seems to have grown an extra toe? (He had four instead of three).
