| On the trail of a tattooed thief, Kim goes undercover as an
X-Games competitor. But Ron's dreams of jockdom and the Seniors' new
lifestyle prove that sports aren't the only thing that's extreme. |
|
| Villains: Señor Senior, Sr. & Señor Senior, Jr.
Animation Production by: Rough Draft Korea Co., Ltd
Originally titled: "To the X-Treme".
First aired on a Monday.
Other then "A Sitch in Time", it's the first time one of the villain's plots actually worked. |

Kim: Ron, wanna move tables? It's getting a little hot here.
Ron [Screams]: No umbrellas!!
Kim: At least you can say that you never gave up.
Ron: True.
Kim: You didn't give up until you were rejected by every team at Middleton High! Wait that didn't come out right...
Kim: Ron? ... Ron? (Ron opens his eyes) Don't scare me like that! I had to Grande-size to wake you up!
(After crashing while umbrella surfing)
Ron: Hey, aren't you gonna interview me?
Reporter: For what? Shortest sports career ever?
Kim: Woah, Ron, what's with the fashion blindness?
Kim: This is SO many levels of 'not right'! |

Why did Kim think that the SSS was 555? It looked more like SSS, and she persisted in thinking that it was a 555 even when she thinks that Junior is the culprit.
^- Given that Senior always appears with a caine, it would naturally be hard for Kim to picture SSS as an extreme game experts since he always seemed to be the guy sitting behind the scene.
Just as in "Ron the Man," Kim's upper lip briefly disappears when she rides that yellow bike to chase SSSr. into the skateboard ramp.
When Kim and Ron are gettin into the X-Games, Kim gives a security guard a ticket. The X-Games are free.
When Kim pulls back SSS' shirt when they're diving through the air, the tattoo is in the middle of just below his neck. But at the beginning when she sees the SSS on the tape Wade showed her, it was on the left side of his neck, and higher up.
When Kim shoots the grappler hook at the airplane, her face is missing.
Pop-pop porter's hair and beard are colored gray in 'All the News'. Maybe the man on Ron's shirt is his son, or it is because he used hair dye.
Re: The tattoo. When it was first zoomed in on, the tattoo looked like 3 lightning bolts(like an S rotated 45 degrees counter clockwise, so that it's standing on what would normally be the bottom left point.) Later, during the mid-air fight, it looks more rounded(as well as being lower), like the S in the episode title above.
When Ron says, "Rufus, the visual aids please," the stripe at the bottom of his shirt is red.
It must have been some windy day for Ron to fly around like that.
How did Señor Senior Senior fall first than Kim if he was wearing a parachute? |

...
Ron is now afraid of umbrellas. Another thing to add to his long list of fears.
Justice
This is one of the most ambiguous episodes when it comes to the sense of justice. I mean, Senior gets arrested for trying to take back what he had attained legally and Vinney remains unpunished in the end. It's just wrong.
Junior gets smart!
At the end of this episode, Junior comes up with a smart plan-turn in his father to collect the reward money so he could use it to break Senior out of jail and buy back their island! It's like what Shego said to him in 'Two to Tutor'-"Every villain needs a plot." Looks like he took up her advice! Now that Junior's becoming smarter, he will probably be more dangerous in Season 3.
Pattern?
Bob Burnquist, Dallas Friday, and Trevor Vine all have three lines, and they say the lines in the order that Ron introduces them to Kim. All three times!
Re: Justice
It does seem a little ambiguous, but only for kids, most of whom won't understand what 'power of attorney' means. For the rest of us, the plot is a little more realistic than some of the regular villains' schemes, in that Vinney was only successful in 'stealing' from the Seniors because Junior basically gave him permission to do so. By giving him power of attorney, he gave him permission to do whatever he wanted with the Seniors' finances. This also explains why Kim couldn't do anything to him, even though she knew (courtesy of Wade) that he was a swindler. Having POA is a little like diplomatic immunity in that regard. The REAL justice is that Junior (Junior!) gets their money back legally, thus outsmarting Vinney, plus he finally gets Senior's approval (part of it is for the evil part of the plan, but we can't win them all...), as well as sympathy from Kim (who could have turned in Senior and gotten the $2 million, but must have felt this was the best way to get the Seniors their legally earned money back).
Tony Hawk!
The skateboarder Kim passes while chasing SSS is none other then Tony Hawk! And he's wearing his trademark grey hoody.
Hasn't she learned her lesson???
In 'Monkey Fist Strikes', Kim thought Monty Fiske was innocent because he has a royal title and is highly respected, but he turned out to be totally insane, despite his royal title! And before 'Go Team Go', Kim must have thought Shego had always been evil-before she found out the truth about Shego in GTG. And yet here, Kim just judges that Junior is the culprit because he's young, but then she finds out Senior is the culprit! Hasn't she learned her lesson to not be fooled by appearences?
"Girls dig guys who play sports"
Kim, however, is an exception.
RE: "Girls dig guys who play sports"
Junior probably believes this, ‘cause he says(to Kim), "Maybe you can't resist seeing me in action."
Hmmmm...
When SSS is using his X-Games skills to steal back his fortune, he reminds me of Adrana Lynn.
The Ron Factor
The way Ron rammed into SSS's parachute is classic Ron Factor.
DYN? #1
Junior's fingers are no longer "girly".
DYN? #2
After getting tackled, Ron mumbles, "I want my…" Who or what he wanted is a mystery.
RE: Junior gets smart!
Not only did he get back his father's money, but he also made Kim think that he was reformed by turning SSS in. I don't think Kim knew(or cared) about the reward. So Junior will probably be more of a threat to Kim and Ron in And the Moleat Will Be CGI.
DYN?
The numbers on one of SSJ's credit cards are: 5467 677 253.

none: Plot device: SSS' name, Triple S
The name of this episode is Triple S, which refers to the name Senore Senor, Sr.(initials: SSS) The episode takes place at the X-Games. This all is a reference to wrestler, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, also known as THE GAME. The three H's refers Paul's original WWF stage name, "Hunter Hearst Helmsey." Paul has yet to provide voice for any cartoon character.
none: Kim's and SSS's mid-air fight
The entirety of Kim and SSS's mid-air fight is taken directly from The Matrix Revolutions.
None: None
The title Triple S, and the tatoo on the back of Senore Senor Sr's neck is a spoof on the movie Triple X.
none: Ron's Gymnastics Tryout
Ron's gynastics routine is strikingly similar to the rountine performed by Will Ferrell in [i]Old School[/i] (2003).
Ron: "No date is worth this!"
The line is similar to that spoken by Harrison Ford's character Han Solo in 'Star Wars: Episode IV', "No reward is worth this!", when Han, Chewbacca and Luke attempt to rescue Princess Leia.
Senior's tattoo: SSS
