I'm on E26. Chase, Adam & Bree record a goodbye message for Davenport. Hey! What about Leo & Tasha?!
Douglas is freed from the block of ice by a bionic person. What's the point of having a security camera if the owner (in this case, Davenport) won't be notified immediately (he only knows because Leo suggested that maybe Douglas had escaped)?! They only relied on 2 security guards, despite having so much money and so many resources?!
Well, that's just nitpicking. All things considered, it was a pretty good episode. It did what a sci-fi/fantasy season finale should do: Showing all Hell breaking loose!

I'm on S3E4. Janelle gets hurt throughout the episode* and she thinks it's because Leo brings bad luck. Why would she think that when a lot of things clearly happen because some other than Leo is clumsy (and too inconsiderate to notice what happened to her)?
*Considering the injuries and the fact that she's just a teen, this kind of humor is a daring for a Disney Channel sitcom!

I'm on E12. Janelle asks Leo if he wants to see a movie about cyborg sharks, he says he already saw it and didn't like it, and she said she saw it too and liked it. Leo then tries to pretend he did like it after all. Hardy har har. What was the point of the invitation then? Chase & Adam want to get back at Leo for humiliating them in public. Leo tries to justify it by saying he needed to impress Janelle. Ummm... Why doesn't he say "I did it because I realized you were going to humiliate me and I anticipated it"? That's a valid excuse and they probably wouldn't have a counterargument. Principal Perry says she'll spend all summer long with the main characters because she feels like she's part of the family, and Bree & Davenport look horrified. Perry then takes the check Davenport wrote. Did she even read it? I mean, what if the check isn't made out to cash? Also, it seems like Davenport has enough money to pay Perry what he owe her (from the season 2 finale), so what is he waiting for?

I'm on E11. Could anyone be so kind to explain to me... how the everloving fuck can a human survive an accident that killed 3 superheroes?! I'm on E14. I was ready to go on an rant since the episode begins by revealing that Leo survived a similar accent to the episode I'm quoting. We then see that only his arm got stuck under the debris... but that creates another problem. Crane and S-1 must've seen Leo on the floor when they left the school. Why didn't they "finish" him? What's crazy is that there's a plot twist later about Leo being bionic. It would've been a good excuse, but Douglas revealed that he underwent through this change after the accident (when he was at the hospital recovering).
Yeah yeah, I'm nitpicking again. Truth be told, this two-parter is a testament to how much the show has improved! There's a clear attempt at a more mature show than other Disney Channel sitcoms. The action sequences are made to look more intense. In fact, the scene where the agents raid the house with the lights out is quite thrilling.

I'm on E16. At a sci-fi convention, Chase tells Adam "If you keep talking about space dogs, I'll roll up the windows of the spaceship and park you next to the sun." This is of course referring to people who do that when they have dogs in the car. Wow. It's not the kind of joke you hear in children entertainment every day.

I'm on E18. Leo & Bree say "Mr. Davenport, you're not gonna believe what we just saw!" Davenport says "I know. Chase has a girl over." They say "No, it's Principal Perry." He says "Something happened to her? Is she OK?" Oh, come on! The joke was sitting right there for you to take it and you missed your chance! He should've said "Principal Perry is with Chase?!"

I'm on E19. Chase uses new technology to "disguise" himself as Bree and I couldn't help but notice that he had absolutely no problem walking with heels. Also, Jake (the guy Bree likes) is shocked to see Chase (disguised as Bree) and Adam in a (physical) fight. Why? Because that only happens between boys? Nah, all kinds of siblings do that at one point.
You know, the whole point of the siblings exposing their secret to the world a few episodes back should've meant a change in direction for the show. No more plots about hiding secrets for outsiders. The episode could've ended a lot earlier if Bree had simply told Jake about the technology. I know being stuck in Principal Perry's body is embarrassing for her, but I can't imagine it was worth everything that happened at their house and later at the dance. Speaking of, how did none of the students notice any of the shenanigans?!

I'm on E22 and... Oh, I don't know. No flaws come to mind. Come on, Vits! Use your nitpicking abilities! I can't! This two-parter is the best episode to date! I probably would've chosen it as one of the best episodes of that year (at least among its genre)! Perfect pacing, conflicts that don't feel forced and well-executed dramatic moments. Also, despite the heroes defeating the villain, it ends with a cliffhanger about Davenport's condition. That's pretty ballsy!

I'm on E23. It looks like Davenport is about to die, Tasha goes to get help, and Leo uses his powers to bring him back. It's not until a later scene that Tasha finds out that Leo is the one who saved him. How is that possible? Did she not return to the room with any doctors or nurses?

I'm on S4E2. Every scene that Davenport and Perry are together and she does something annoying, he puts her in her place. Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember this happening before. At least not to this extent. So... it was sort of cathartic. In this two-parter premiere, they changed the opening sequences and they added a subtitle. Both indicate that the whole series will revolve around the bionic island. Seriously? I though it would be a temporary thing. I don't dislike it, but the main focus? I feel that might limit story ideas, especially if we will rarely (never?) see them outside. During his duel with Sebastian, Chase says "I can do this all day." Oh, are you quoting Captain America? But that only applies to fight scenes where there are no time limits. You guys are in a race against time trying to save Davenport and Perry!
