Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Episode 9 Review

Well, here we are: Monday Night and it's time once again for a new Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated episode, this weeks installment is titled "Battle of the Humonganauts"(and no I am not making that title up).

Tonight's episode looks so far(judging by the reviews from people on message boards in other time zones) to be a pretty good episode; it is also the last new episode it looks like before the show takes a hiatus for possibly a month(i'm not certain on when there will be another new episode after tonight, but rest assured I will be back with another review/live blog when the show resumes new episodes.

Once again, it will be random comments throughout the episode as my blogs usually are; now, this being sort of the all star break or halftime(to use sports terms) for the new Scooby Doo series, it gives me a chance to do what the sports media does at halftime or the all star break and that's to review the season to this point.

So far through eight(after tonight nine episodes) has been what I was expecting since I first read about the show online; the writing is well done, the animation is decent and the romance is a nice bonus for the show.

As for the various subjects and questions that still need to be resolved:

Mr. E: Right now i'm still going with either Fred's mom or Angel Dynamite as being either related to Mr. E or Mr E. himself; some people have suggested Professor Pericles as being Mr. E, and I think that's possible as well, but right now my predictions are: Fred's mom or Angel Dynamite is Mr. E

The Curse of Crystal Cove/The Original Mystery Inc-Missing Kids: Is there really a curse? and does this have to do with the missing kids(AKA the original Mystery Inc.)? Only time will tell for that one, but I think something did happen to the kids and it does have something to do with the curse; some have suggested that maybe there's a cover up with the town's adults, that could be possible as well; some have even suggested that one of the members of the original Mystery Inc. did something to cause the gang to break up, which I think is possible as well

Velma & Shaggy: I think this relationship will succeed and Shaggy will eventually tell Scooby about him and Velma and of course Scooby will happy; I mean Shaggy and Scooby can't stay mad at each other forever right?

Fred and Daphne: The two of them are in an interesting relationship and I think it will work out between them, they just have to realize that they were meant to be together and get their issues straightened out.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and it looks to be a great rest of the series, when the show resumes new episodes, probbaly int the next month if I had to guess

7:10 PM: My folks think this new Scooby show is weird; well, some people do and some people don't, frankly I like it and it's much better then the drek that was Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get A Clue

7:10 PM: Angel Dynamite's back, again

7:10 PM: Wait a minute, does this Max Minner insurance company advertise on everything in the TOWN?

7:26 PM: That went well, the trap I mean

7:26 PM: Fred's dad actually complimented him? cool

7:27 PM: The insurance agents? Um, I guess I was expecting that, I mean I don't know if it's predictable but it's interesting

7:28 PM: They kind of seem to be working like a team I guess; although Shaggy and Scooby are still at each other's throats

7:29 PM: Shaggy, you chicken! He was that close to telling both of them!

Well, we're at the sort of all star break for Scooby Doo as I mentioned above; for this episode I have to give it an 7.5, good stuff with the Shaggy/Velma/Scooby triangle, Mr. E clue and the Sheriff was hillarious as usual, the brothers as villains were good too, not much of that in Scooby Doo

It's now the kinda sorta All-Star Break/Half Way point of SDMI and so far things seem to be going well; but there are more questions to be answered and more mysteries solved in the future, and that will take place when Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. returns with new episodes, probably in October.

By the way, I want to take this opprtunity to thank all the people who have read and commented on this blog so far since Scooby Doo Mystery Inc started; I really enjoy your comments and I try and read them all. thanks everybody and i'll see you all when Scooby Doo comes back from his break, see you then

Oh and i'll still be doing some college football and NFL blogs, so stay tuned
