Review
This was yet another pointless episode (in the place of the overall
storyline, that is), but unlike past season one random romps (“Crime
Waves”), this one was actually enjoyable to watch. A disabled kid, named
Kevin (voiced by Wil Wheaton), is framed for stealing a device that
allows him to walk. The person the security guard really saw, however,
was Zeta and Ro in disguise as Kevin, while breaking into a lab to
search for data.
The story is rather intriguing and the action is excellent. The rooftop
chase between Blake and Zeta felt like nothing else you saw in The
Zeta Project previously. It took place completely at night, it was
active and lots of action interspersed between the flying punches. If
nothing else, check out the episode for the rooftop tango—it’s awesome.
In addition to being a fun episode, it’s also the second The Zeta
Project episode to never air in the United States. I assume it was
because it wasn’t an “essential” episode to the series and Kids WB! was
cutting it’s run off. It’s much better we got to see "The Hologram Man",
believe me. Still, it’s a shame fans in the United States couldn’t see
all of the show.
