| Villians: Dr. Drakken & Shego
Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Co., Ltd
All regulars play their ancestors in flashback scenes.
This episode was first aired on a Thursday afternoon during a mini-marathon.
Profesor Dementor's real name is revealed: Demence. Same as his ansestor, who invented the Electro Static Elluminator.
--^The whole thing was a dream, so there aren't really any villains in this.
---^Also, we don't know if Demence is really Dementor's real name since it was just a dream.
We learn that Middleton hosted the World's Fair in 1904.
Professor Dementor is mentioned in this episode, but not seen (third time).
Third time Drakken and Shego appear, but Kim and Shego don't fight. |

Ron: Seriously, what are the chances?
Ron: Who care about a hundred-year-old-timer? Is this the wrong place to say that?
Shego: Wait, since when do you win?
Kim: (Realising) The musuem!
Ron: (Hair standing on end due to spark rocks) Another field trip?
Wane: You really don't have much going on in the upper story, do you, Spike?
Drakken: The Electrostatic Illuminater is the reason I became a villain!
Shego: Dr. D, I thought you became a villian because of the guys who teased you in nerd school.
Drakken: Well, thank you for harshing my mellow, Shego.
Drakken: Now quickly, to my mother's attic!
Shego: All right. I'm going to go, but I am not sure why.
Wane: (On why he didn't tell Barkin what he saw) I was a ten year old kid with a theory, and Barkin was the Chief of Police, with his own theory.
Ron: His theory made for a good headline.
Kim: (Of Mim) How could anybody who did so much good go so bad?
Mr. Dr. Possible: Ah, don't worry, Kimmie, I'm sure it won't happen to you.
Kim: Dad!
Mr. Dr. Possible: Oh, that's not where you were going with this.
Wade: I've been digitally enhancing the old photos!
Wane: Digitally enhancing. Eww.
MHS Sign: Those Who Fail History Are Doomed to Repeat It.
MHS Sign: History Field Trip Yesterday.
Kim:(of photo)Doesn't that remind you of-
Ron: -A squid juggling lunch meat?
Kim: Uh-Shego!
Ron: O-Oh....yeah..
Mr. Barkin: 100 years ago the world came to Middleton-
Ron: Where did they all stay?
Museum Guy: Some say that this mysterious masked warrior was the true key behind the many victories of Ronicus.
Kim: Hmmm...sounds about right.
Ron: Hey! Who got the big statue? Uh, uh, Booyah.
John Stoppable: I have seen the future and it's name is TACO!
Kim: (thinking that Ron is looking for the Electrostatic Illuminator) Is it there?
Ron: Found it!
Kim: That's not the Electrostatic Illuminator!
Ron: Oh, right. Yeah, I was looking for 100-year old hot sauce. This stuff's gotta pack a punch now!
Drakken: (About the cookies) Try one Shego! (Singsong voice) They have no calories!
Ron: You're 110?!
Wane: And I still look better than you.
Wane: That was my last flash. The rest of the pictures I took that night might as well have been of coal miners in a blackout.
John (of the Electrostatic Illuminator): You don't know what to do with it, do you, Professor?
Prof. Demen: Well, it makes lightning. That's got to be good for something, yeah?
Drakken: No, it's someone named Demence.
Shego: Doy, that's Dementor's real name.
Drakken: (shocked) He uses a fake name?!?
Shego: Yeah, can you imagine...Drew Lipsky?
John(after Barkin accuses Mim of theft): Mim a thief? I don't believe it, sir.
[flash forward to Ron with the *exact* same look on his face as John]
Ron: I don't believe it either.
Ron: It's almost like a strange dream.
[fade out to Ron and Kim sleeping]
Barkin: Stoppable, Possible, wake up! The exibit's not that boring.
Kim(after waking from her dream): I can't believe I just zoned out like that.
Ron: I can't believe the dream I had.
Kim: About our ancestors?
Ron: At the expo?
Kim: And Drakken and Shego too?
Ron: So…we had the exact same dream!?
Kim: Can't get much weirder than that.
Drakken: Kim Possible, you think you're "all that" but…[sees the hovercraft Kim pulled him and Shego off of explode] Oh, you…uh, saved us.
Kim: It's a hero thing.
Shego: Well, this is awkward.
Drakken: We must never speak of it again.
Exterminator: If they were normal termites, we'd be talking two or
three days tops. But these seem to be mutant termites.
Drakken: Mutant?! Really? Well, I can assure you I have no idea how they got that way.
Ron (of speaking to Wayne): Yeah, somehow a seance is not what I had mind for this afternoon. Thanks, though.
Ron (Crunching loudly on Spark Rocks): My hair standing on end?
Kim: No more so than usual.
Ron (of Drakken's ancestor): You know what they say, Kim, 'The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.' (eats several Spark Rocks, causing his hair to stand on end)
Kim: Acorn, but you're right, a Lipsky on the scene can't be good.

| How could Ron have a dream with Drakken's mother in it if he's never met her before?
Answer to above, we have met his mother before in the episode "Mother's Day"
Answer to the answer above: Ron wasn't there to see Drakken's mother, remember? He was cleaning the garage.
(at above) Well, Kim met her, and it WAS a shared dream.
This history could have never happened cause Shego was once a "good guy" so that means that she couldn't of had an ancestor that was on Drakkens side of evil: P
Re: Also Drakken, cause he was a good guy, he was with Mr. Dr. Possible and his friends how was that supposed to happen. Anyway remember it was only a dream.
^ Yeah she could that's like saying her ancestor (Not Shego)can't have green eyes because she had blue
The number on the errostratic-illuminator said 52,560,000. When you see as Kim and Ron are ronning out of time ot defuse it, it's counting by seconds. But 52,560,000 seconds don't equal one century- nor 52,560,000 months, years, hours, or minutes.
(in response to the Drakken/Shego were once good guys theory) Maybe they were good guys in their early years, but they were destined by fate to eventually turn bad like their ancestors because history is doomed to repeat its self. As a side note, Drakken evidently always had a bad streak in him judging from his toys!
^-- Remember, it was a dream.
Actually, 52,560,000 minutes equal a century, excluding leap years.
^ Including leap years, the time would be 52,596,000 seconds. Give or take a day, depending on what year the thing was set.
--^You're right, because Shego and her brothers would've started out as a pack of super villains, not super heroes. (Personality genes) But it was only a dream. Maybe this just reflects off the fact that Kim and Ron still can't believe that Shego was once good.
Kim's great aunt Possible wouldn't look like her. Most of her looks come from her mothers side of the family.
People in 1904 didn't use terms like "beef up"; yet Jon uses that term.
When Kim is holding the two photos, one of them is supposed to be of Miss Go holding the Electro-Static Illuminator and the other is supposed to be of the Taco stand. If you look closely at the two photos in the Museum, Ron takes the photo that is supposed to be of the Taco stand, but then it changes to the Hamburger stand.
RE: Mim should not look like Kim - You don't know which side of the family Mim comes from - presumibly Mim is the sister to one of Kim's mum's parents.
When Kim looks through the glass at Mim and John's photo, her reflection shows her hair on its normal side, but it should've been on her opposite, since she was looking in something sort of like a mirror.
^-Actually, it was confermed that her full name was Miriam Possible.
The first time we see the electrostatic illuminator(in the flashback), it's working with seconds (we see the number 60 to refer a minute), but when we see the photo of Miss Go, it's working with minutes (52560000 minutes), and at the end of the episode, when it's about to explode, returns to work with seconds
When Kim and Ron are in the museum at the start of the episode, Kim is wearing her green tank top and capris and Ron is wearing his red jersey. When they wake up from the dream sequence, they are wearing the clothes they wore at the end of the dream, the yellow star shirt and the black and white shirt |

Again...
Drakken goes in a Multi-propetry in this episode (first time in "Mind Games").
Analysis
Much like the dream sequences in the Coen bros. classic The Big Lebowski this episode (a dream in itself) is made up chiefly of previous events or props from the series. 1). Drakken's ancestor stealing technology developed by Dementor's ancestor echos the events of "Hidden Talent." 2). Drakken's mother, previously introduced in "Mother's Day." 3). Drakken's love of baked goods, just like his love for Nana's lemon squares in "The Golden Years." 4). The time-share, which was first seen in "Mind Games." 5). Ron's love of old/expired foods, from "Low Budget."
Ancestors
Kim and Ron's ancestors are the same ancestors in Ron's flasback in "Ron Millonaire".
Ron Gets Smart (Kind of)
He finds the journal, figures out the Shock Rocks don't work because of the Static-Illuminator, and he manages to tear down the planks of wood on the Taco Stand's door with his bare hands! Of course, since it was a dream, he'll probably go back to being the same old Ron.
Re: Ron gets smart
Actually, considering that most dreams come from your subconscience, he's actually starting to become smarter in Season 3 (but still his funny old self), so his role just might become bigger in 'Kim Possible: So the Drama'.
Kim: How could anyone who did so much good go so bad?
In 'Go Team Go', we find out that Shego used to be a superhero, which means she did a lot of good and then went bad. Could it be that Kim secretly wants Shego to turn good again and wonders the same thing about her?

None: None
Shocks Rocks, the lollies that send a burst of static electricity through your body, are an obvious reference to pop rocks, the lollies that apparently explode in your mouth.
Ron: "I've seen the future, and its name is taco!"
Perhaps a reference to the famous 1974 Rolling Stone article, with Jon Landau proclaiming "I've seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen"
