Kim Possible series finale: Anybody watch?

*DrSpengler* · 09-07-2007, 08:42 PM

I know there are a couple Kim Possible fans hanging around here, so I figured I'd make a thread.

Anyhow...

Shego/Draken? Gross. I guess it explains why Shego kept working for Draken even though his every plan was doomed to failure, but still...it felt really "shippy". I am glad the show's two lead villains got to have a happy ending instead of being carted of to jail or something. They were my favorite characters, honestly.

Anyhow, it was a good finale with some nice closure. I'm glad we got that fourth season.

What I liked about the finale is that the writers still left it with a mild cliffhanger, not really tying up where Ron will go, but the series deep continuity actually answers this (watch "A Stitch In Time"), the die-hard fans know from their own confirmation they remain together.

They have also ensured they wont be making any new episodes by switching to Nickolodean and working on new series, essentially forcing the fans to move on. They had three alternate endings, with the "Grease" ending an idea proposed at the last minute to add something that felt more like a KIM POSSIBLE ending and not some well-written fanfiction.

Attention to detail was also very good, the Possible/Lilo and Stitch crossover makes a lot of sense now, as it gave the concept of a cliched "alien invasion" story plausibility. I prefer Drakken being a competant, and much darker villain the way he was in "So The Drama"

Suffice to say, I think everyone knows what was happening in that car.

Draken and Shego is indeed, a pretty risky idea, but they have nothing to lose from it. The two act like a married couple anyway...

I'm glad Disney allowed the writers and animators to do what they wanted with this series knowing that it led to high ratings. If the writers wanted to do more, they probably would have let them. Possible has broken a lot of ground for future Disney series, I just hope more break the 65 episode limit a little easier when they earn it.

The alien invasion actually didn't bug me or seem "unkimpossible-like" in anyway. They've had aliens in multiple episodes (the 15 minute-er where Draken tries to steal a saucer belonging to some Greys, the aforementioned Lilo & Stitch crossover and, obviously, the first Warmonga episode). With how sci-fi the show is, an all-out alien invasion didn't seem out of place whatsoever and was pretty much the only way to get Draken and Kim to team up.

The ending was loose-enough, I suppose. Draken accepted the award for saving the world graciously but could still be seen hanging out at a super villain cafe, so whether he's "truly" turned to good is somewhat inconclusive.

And seeing Ron actually, coherently, intentionally summoning up the courage and will to save the day was something I'd wanted to see for a while. No goofy "save the day by accident" or "saves the day but drops pants afterward"...just saves the day because he could. Thank you! That's definately how the series needed to end, as it was just as much about Ron as it was the title character.

Personally I thought it was the best possible ending the show could have received. It had a certain amount of closure, just enough to make sure anyone watching would know it was the series finalé, but left certain things still up in the air and for the fans to come to their own conclusions about.

Watching the series finale made me realize how many episodes of season 4 I actually missed. Monkeyfist got turned to stone? Junior and Bonnie hooked up? What was Duff Killigan doing at the award ceremony for Shego and Draken; was he no longer a villain?

I gotta catch up.
