Welcome to Gaia! ::

How sad! XD

Good for you then!

Oh wow, that's insane that you noticed that. XD My sister used to watch Zach and Cody, so I saw a few episodes, but I was never able to tell them apart at all. Only twins I've ever been able to tell apart without them having different hairstyles/whatever are my own nieces. XD And that takes a lot of observation, which I'm not very good at.
I do have to agree that it wasn't one of the best episodes though. Like it was still great and all, but it seemed a bit downgraded compared to the epicness of the more recent episodes. Especially the first half or so, which was pretty slow and boring. Got better later on though, and Noa was awesome with the Big Five. XD I can't wait for the virtual world!

@Kits - if you watch the spin off (I've only seen a few episodes of that I swear!! ~_~) it gets even easier to tell them apart. Cody is significantly taller and a lot thinner than Zach. They aren't identical at all. When the are younger they slightly pass for it, but yes I must admit I've watched it enough to be able to tell them apart even then. I recognize the mannerisms in their facial expressions.

Yea, the end was definitely the best part and does have me slightly excited for virtual world. I just hope it's more parody and less spoof references to other shows in the future. I feel like LK is doing that more and more and I can't say I'm overly fond of that.

@Morgey - I love Stand By Me as well, but I just felt that it dragged on too long without actually being plot - which would have been fine if there had been plot in what came before, but there wasn't. Just a crack reference to a so-so Disney show and a gay joke that actually wasn't delivered very well. And too much nonsensical fluff with Yuugi/Yami/Anzu (some of that was funny, a lot was just meh though, I felt it could have been funnier).

Those are just my opinions though. I think because I had a dream I watched the episode 2 - 3 weeks ago, and thus have been waiting for it for awhile (with the expectation my dream gave of it being amazing) I was a little let down. Stupid dreams, always setting me up for failure. razz

Yea, it's gotten a lot less funny, which I've refused to accept thus far - random good episodes make it easier to hold onto the delusion - hence me being disappointed. I don't even feel like it necessarily should have died, the way things that just "drag on" to long too...he changed the style of what he was doing, got too heavy with the references and parodies of other things. Had he not done that it might not have been so bad, but blah.

Ok, I'm just going to admit it, I STILL can't find the first line of that joke, I looked twice and then gave up because it was bugging me that I couldn't find it. Maybe I didn't go back far enough. I just accept that it's there because the punchline is, so yea, obviously I can't laugh at Malik either. And not being able to laugh at a parody series is such a crime.

HA! You know that's funny, because if you went over to the dreams thread you'd find that my dreams have a rather lot of zombies as well. That TAS dream was random and weird in a sea of supernatural nightmares. But yea, I just finished updating about zombies and whatnot over there. Because one of my most recent dreams a few days ago was kind of a zombie genre/Saw crossover. Hooray...crazed serial killer AND zombies, because one alone wasn't bad enough! ~_~. I also had a YGO dream in the same night, which is how this seemingly unrelated dream ended up on that thread btw, haha. Actually, the last time I updated the thread with a dream (not counting the TAS one) had been zombies in the world of YGO...I think I have a propensity to dream about zombies if I dream about YGO. Lame.

I agree, I liked Zach and Cody as the conscience thing myself, but did we need to bring the reference back again for the Zorc thing? Especially for someone like Morgey, who if they don't know the show, it probably wasn't funny the first time, and it's once again not very funny the second time. Do you like the smart geeky one who uses big words or the stupid slacker one (who fails 8th grade - he makes it up in summer school, but that would be later than season 1 I think)? If it's the former you like Cody, the latter you like Zach. I like Cody, even if he is a dork, Zach doesn't have enough dimension to him and he's kind of selfish.

Umm...but to talk about a less lame show...hahaha...and I think a lot of the material is funny too, but the references are way too heavy. They aren't sometimes, they are a lot of times, so they overshadow for me whether or not the stuff that is originally him is good. I mean in the beginning I loved TAS because it was this quirky mock of the show that was nonetheless somewhat true to the original (and I loved things like mocks on the fact that the game in the show doesn't exactly make sense most of the time). I'm so distracted by the other references that I think I'd have to go back and watch a lot to tell you whether or not I think it is indeed funnier.

So it's not that I have the opposite opinion of you, at least I'm pretty sure that's not it. Because I don't want to make the claim that the writing has dried up, because I don't think it has...I'm pretty sure it hasn't. He just needs to focus more on the writing and less on ripping on Disney shows. Even if it means a longer amount of time between episodes, I mean I'd finally gotten used to that, I don't need them rushed off at a better rate now at the sake of quality.

Coincidences are always fun...^_^

Yea Zorc needs to have ONE sitcom, and Zorc and Pals is way better.

Haha...possibly be straight...as if, hahahaha. Yea, the references just tend to overwrite plot elements that would be better to see played out. And yes, I like the new material but the references need to stop being heavier than the plot.

Oh coincidences SO exist...but hmm...maybe there IS a higher power who is totally benefiting from us talking about zombies randomly in two different arenas. Nah, too silly.

Hahaha...woot...*high five*

RIGHT! Yea, I remember it now that I see it (I wasn't going back far enough), but it's so spaced out between beginning and conclusion that it isn't quite as funny. Too much hug action in between - without any actual hug action, mmm, that'd be nice ^_^.

I've known pretty much every reference, but I prefer things to stand on their own...I mean especially something like a parody series which is already in and of itself a reference.

I miss that sardonic nature as well, I concur.
