      Goofs
  • When Ron infiltrates Drakken and Shego's hideout, we see Shego wearing a bathing suit. But when she confronts Ron, she is wearing her regular suit. How did Shego have enough time to change back and forth?
  • Ron says that Lord Monkey fist is the ONLY person who EVER remembers his name, but Drakken has said his name in some episodes, plus Senor Senior, Sr. says his name at least once in The New Ron!
  • ^-- He probably meant that Monkey Fist is the only person who remembers his name consistantly and without help. Drakken usually needs help or comes up with it after a lot of thought.
  • ^In Naked Genius, when Ron was on the news Shego recognized him, and when Drakken asked who it was she said "It's Ron Stoppable, Kim Possible's dopey sidekick!".
  • ^-- But he wasn't there for that. And besides, Shego, despite her skill, is still considered a sidekick/assistant to Drakken, so she doesn't fit into the demographic Ron is talking about. Besides all this, it's just a joke... banter between Ron and Monkey Fist before their fight. It's not supposed to be anything other than a funny comment and, in many cases, technicalities and certain truths can be disregarded for the purpouses of humor.
  • ^--In addition to SSS(Senor Senior, Sr.)remembering Ron's name in "The New Ron", SSS remembers Ron's name again in "Animal Attraction", plus Ron was there to here him say it!
  • ^-- Interestingly enough SSS forgot Ron's name in "Coach Possible," which takes place between "The New Ron" and "Animal Attraction." So SSS forgot Ron's name for just that one episode. Odd he should forget in the middle.
  • ^--Even though Drakken became dumb during "Naked Genius", he remembered Ron's name without hesitation or asking for help when he was still dumb! Maybe he knows Ron's name, but he just doesn't want to say it.
  • How can a bowling ball knock Drakken 10 feet in the air?
  • ^-- Actually, he was just repeating the name after hearing the reporter say it on TV. His line is: Drakken: Ron Stoppable... help me out? Shego: Kim Possible's dopey sidekick. See? Needed help.
  • ^--What about Drakken remembering his name in "So the Drama?" I don't recall hium needing any help remembering his name at the end.
  • ^--In "Ron Millionaire", Shego also says his name:"You still got STOPPABLE'S money?". Also, another episode Drakken remembers his name in,twice, I might add!
  • ^-- Shego never seems to have a problem remembering Ron's name. As for "Ron Millionaire"... Drakken had been holding Ron hostage for an extended period of time. After that long he should know Ron's name at least temporarily.

  •   Analysis

    Centripetal

    Drakken correctly describes his machine as 'centripetal' instead of the much more commonly used (and usually incorrectly) 'centrifugal'. So not only are the creators talented, they're intelligent, too.

    Parallel to Adventures in Rufus-sitting

    This episode parallels the short "Adventures in Rufus-sitting." In both episodes, Ron or Kim travel all over the world meeting all of their villains to retrieve something. In Kim's case, she's trying to get Rufus; in Ron's case, he's trying to get the library book. In both cases, they hide their adventure from the other whenever contacted. Ron, at least, let Kim now when he got her out of trouble.

    DYN?

    In Drakken's last cabinet, there is a picture of his mom.

    My lips are numb...without Ron

    When Kim is licking the MHS Library labels on all the books she claims with an appropriate speech impediment "My lips are numb." But when Ron arrives at the library, her speech pattern magically turns to normal!

    DYN-I did

    When Monkey Fist asks what kind of magic is this, Ron and Wade reply science. Doesn't this sort of remind you of Ron and Wade's arguement about fighting magic with science in 'The Full Monkey'?

    Possible movie reference

    Notice when Kim said "This is SO the drama!"? A possibly reference to the previously aired movie? Or, in order of production number, a reference to the 'up coming' movie?


      Cultural References

    None: The Giant Chrysanthemums

    The giant plans Prof. Dementor had grown are modeled after Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. More Info

    Ron: Ron is suffocated by Killigan's food

    Ron's behavior when he says "he suspects us," such as his crawl along the ground and wheezing, are very similar to Gollum's behavior when he is conflicted in The Lord of the Rings.
