After nearly throwing my computer out the window and just abandoning it for a couple of days I came back and re-made the guide and review to The Wettening which can be found here it also has pictures now, after some testing and more failures I have found the reason the guide was deleted and I found a solution. So… I have to go experiment on Earth water and why it disappears while left in the sun and stuff… BYE!
The Wettening Guide and Review are back up!
Possible upgrade?
I wrote so much, worked so hard on posts and pages the other day, when my cmptr crashed, before I published anything. The wettening guide was deleted but I’m working on finding a backup. But hey! A certain tallest’s birthday is coming up!! So maybe I’ll get something- Zimmy… Or a new cmptr! (ha! I wish!) so hopefully I’ll restore everything soon… Keep being- Zimmy!!!
The Wettening Guide and Review
I have the Episode Guide for “The Wettening” up this one comes with a review which I think I will add to the episode guides, reviews are more interesting and I really only read my guides to find cameos and animation errors and stuff, so find the guide (I’ll add pictures to it soon)here or go to episodes in the top right corner and you can find your way to it from there, I’ll post the review, remember I will take feedback on anything! I want your opinion too!
Review (spoilers):
I’m probably going to be biased on this one because it was one of my first episodes, I love this episode. It’s classic Zim, but it’s short and sweet. Some people don’t like it’s resemblance to the pilot episode, I personally don’t mind. I mean the pilot episode didn’t air until ten years after this one so it’s not like they were two exactly alike stories back to back, the pilot episode probably wasn’t ever meant to air anyways.
The episode opens with a situation that’s an exaggerated version of something that I think has happened to almost everyone in their class when they were kids, someone decided it would be fun to mess with the paste. Then it rains, something as normal as air to us and the one new kid is worried by it. Both of these could happen, someone spills paste, someone that may have just moved from somewhere without rain won’t stop freaking out about the rain. Everyone has seen something similar to those things; well Jhonen Vasquez and Frank Conniff (Head writers for this episode) turned this into a whole story!
We find out Zim is allergic to rain water, now he has been exposed to water before and withstood it (attack of the saucer morons and others) but he supposedly always bathes in paste. It has been suggested that Zim is allergic to the pollution in the water. I think that’s brilliant, what if aliens come to earth all the time, willing to offer us amazing advances, but the pollution in the water and air kills them? Makes you wonder.
Its fun to see Dib and Zim confront each other in this episode; you seem to learn more about each character, Dib, Zim, and Gaz each with a rage boiling inside them from the events occurring around them added on to horrible childhoods or lives, Gaz neglected by her family, Dib, the nerd and outcast, both of whom lost their mother (or so I assume), then Zim, the Irken that went wrong. There’s a wonderful little montage where they make their weapons, that’s enjoyable. Oh and the ending, Zim tells GIR not to disturb him, and so when he gets stuck on the way to his base GIR doesn’t, that was pretty awesome. xP Overall this is a great episode, nothing’s drawn out (except the rain song I guess, that clocks in at around 47 seconds!!) , it’s simple and easy to follow, and hilarious! One of my favorites definitely.
Pilot Review
Hey guys! So APPARENTLY I missed Christmas, and the New Year… But it’s okay because my DVR saved all the Doctor Who’s and IZ’s I could EVER need. So let me quickly get into Invader Zim before I go all time lord. Oh and I made some pictures for you guys to look at for a couple of seconds!! No stealing!
Here’s Ms. Bitter’s in her cloak from “Voting of the Doomed”
And here’s Zim on his desk, inspired by the episode “Career Day” I had to guess what color things were so the wall’s probably the wrong color, but it’s still a decent picture.
Hope you like ‘em! Now to review… THE FOLLOWING REVIEW MAY BE CONSIDERED SPOILER-ISH
REVIEW:
So I was pretty disappointed when I watched the pilot episode, I was hoping for the voice of Zim to be Richard Horvitz’s and I hoped they would’ve revised some stuff, such as the color of Dib’s shirt… and GIR’S voice, I mean REALLY you can hardly understand that voice in the pilot. The graphics of course aren’t perfected and it’s jerky at times, but that’s okay, it was after all the pilot.
Now I know you’re thinking “The Invader Zim team wasn’t there, how could they fix anything?” Well I know, but still… But I suppose Nickelodeon went out of their way to do this at all… Anyways, before I’m spammed with hate mail for saying bad stuff let me get to the good stuff.
The opening narration cracked me up as it always does, I wasn’t sure if they were going to air that or not, but they left it as it was, a treat to those who haven’t seen it, but a disappointment to those who have seen it and wanted some new treats… SORRY! Back to the good stuff. The overall story is pretty good, it makes sense, it’s easy to follow, it’s funny, and oh yeah there’s an epic battle with a giant robot involved.
I do like this episode a lot, don’t get me wrong, I simply wish they had fixed it for TV, because I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of OMGIR’s locked themselves in their rooms and cried through Christmas after hearing the one scene with GIR in it.
The color of Dib’s shirt really isn’t that important, but just to make sure I wasn’t over thinking things, I let my little brother, who hadn’t seen the pilot before watch it, he said it was good but he preferred Richard Horvitz voicing Zim instead of Billy West, don’t get me wrong Billy West is great, but Richard is simply perfect for Zim. Needless to say my brother wanted GIR’s voice fixed, and he wished the graphics were better. I excuse the graphics though, because they can’t mess with that.
It seems this is the same pilot you can find all over the internet, which I already have a guide for. I’ll make a new guide to the episode soon, as the old one was not the best. So all in all, seeing as it’s only about fifteen minutes this episode, while imperfect, is still a good episode, there are hidden jokes and cameos and everything. So if you recorded it, watch it, if you didn’t, you tube it, it’ll be worth your time.
Greatest Zim Moments Vote, and Info on Pilot
I was poking around Nicktoons.com to check out the Zim page since the pilot will be airing on CHRISTMAS EVE!! At 9:00 PM Eastern Time, set your DVRS! Right when I got on the page I saw something about Zim. That made me smile. Checking it I realized that it was a voting for the greatest Zim moments! The greatest moment is going to be airing after the premiere of the pilot on Christmas Eve!
Nick is really making a fuss about Zim, the pilot, the redoing of the page on the website, this vote. I think this is a good sign. I mean the Invader Zim fan base has grown so much recently, and we’ve bugged Nick about it so much. We’ve definitely made it known that Zim lives. Operation Head Pigeons, the group responsible for my over-obsessive-ness towards Zim seems to be winning, I think if we keep it up Zim will return. So vote for your favorite Zim moments. There have already been over 20,000 times people have taken the time to watch and vote, free Zim moments, who could resist? Try for yourself here.

HAPPY DIB DAY!
Hey guys!!! Way back before summer I remember me and a couple of fans decided that December 18th (D18, it looks like DIB) would be dubbed “Dib Day” a day in honor of our favorite human hero! So I just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY DIB DAY!
And another Dib picture I made before Summer!
K guys! So spread the paranoid paranormal joy and wish everyone a happy Dib Day!
PILOT EPISODE NOT AIRING UNTIL LATER!
Oops… I was misinformed, as it would turn out the pilot episode is not airing until the last weekend of December… MORE ANXIOUS WAITING!!!!!! D: Any input on this? Let us suck information from your brain meats and let us fill the site with information! (Translation: Give feedback!)
Pilot On Tomorrow!!! (And Pictures!)
Okay guys, the airing of what I’ve decided is the pilot is TOMORROW, I can’t set my DVR because it’s not showing up on the guide, so I don’t know what time it comes on. At InvaderCON (I saw this in an interview) Richard Horvitz said that he did in fact do a version of the pilot, but it apparently never hit the internet. I don’t know if it has by now but to the best of my knowledge it has not. I did a guide of the of the original pilot which can be found here. It does contain spoilers!!! That pilot is hopefully quite different from what will air as I hope this one has Richard Horvitz in it! No offense to Mr. Billy West as he did good, I’m just used to Richard’s voice, I really hope they perfect the GIR voice for the episode! Once the new pilot is out (if it’s a new version) I’ll write a review and hopefully a new guide! NOW If you don’t want to spoil the whole episode by seeing the guide but don’t mind some pictures here are some pictures from the pilot!
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS MAY BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS!!!
I know it’s not much, but don’t worry I’ll probably overload the site with photos after the episode airs!
New Episode?
Well I just noticed this morning a commercial, I’ll write a long in depth article on it later. The commercial said that a NEVER BEFORE SEEN FIRST EPISODE OF INVADER ZIM WAS TO AIR!!! Now this sounds to me like the pilot, and hopefully it would be very fixed up if it’s to air on tv… I think we all know the reason for pilots, if this is viewed by a lot of people Zim will probably come back, I still need to look into it, but set you’re DVRs!!
I’ve had to adjust to yet another new schedule, well try to adjust, I sort of gave up and then realized, “Omg I forgot about Pride of Irk” So I got on the computer and tried to do some stuff, had a new episode guide for you guys, and as I tried to upload it my computer crashed again, I think Tak must’ve crippled my base… But assuming the jolly fat green alien doesn’t sent me to my doom first, maybe he’ll get me a new computer!!!!
Then again maybe I’ll just play it safe and ask the robo parents… Anyone planning on going to InvaderCON? I’m not! Because they put it in California… Grrr…. Oh well enough moping here. Tickets for the I’m making waffles Breakfast and “Dinner of Doom” sold out VERY quickly, but there are still tickets for DoomCON at a discount of $10 off! On You can watch 4 FULL EPISODES there is a whole bunch of new stuff!! Click here for Invader Zim on Nicktoons.com Oh yeah, in case I didn’t mention it earlier, all this is happening because ZIM IS COMING BACK!!!! ZIM IS COMING BACK!!!! ZIM IS COMING BACK!!! Look at OHP’s facebook or website if you don’t know why I’m mindlessly repeating myself…. OHP.com I have minimal information on what’s happening cuz my computer is dumb… DUMB LIKE A MOOSE!!!! But you know, When I find out you will!!! So until then, Help get Zim back!!!
