Is this a joke? I feel like this is a joke.

Is it just me or is the idiot maid shrinking?

Impressions:

Whoa. Some real twists in this episode that totally turned everything on its head. The Robot of the Week’s pilot was female. And they stretched it out so painfully that Eggman won’t save them with his teen power until next week. And since the Robot of the Fortnight’s new super power is “has rocket punches,” the show has completed its journey into becoming a parody of itself. It’s gone from matter control, to a beam sword, to two beam swords, to throws its own hands. God help us all if they discover missiles. At least it’s not like your lame two-armed rock’em sock’em robots, daddy-o. No, it’s got a few extra arms. I hate to think what super ultimate robot they’re building up to, but I’m putting my money on “self-destructs when it attacks.” And Eggboy defeats them by… shooting them. Well, except for one, because Blondie needed to make his dramatic entrance somehow.

If the sarcasm above wasn’t enough of a clue, the rest of the episode was the same as always, just more padded out than usual leading to that especially godawful ‘action’ scene where another couple dozen soldiers were killed by rocket punches flitting about. Old guy mopes around, gets into cockpit, and freezes up Part 4. Eggboy and Magical Princess stand against some scenery porn and ramble Part 3. Maid blurts out that the woman’s the princess and everyone ignores it Part 5. Blondie looks conflicted and pained before unceremoniously moving from A to B offscreen. Another thrilling, cerebral episode all around.
