Episode 5: Buggin' the System

While training out in deep space, the gang stumbles upon a seemingly abandoned ring world ala Halo. Further investigation reveals the giant ring to actually be an interstellar library. But before Kiva can make use of it, Megas is infected with a mechanical parasite that slowly drains the mech of its energy. Our heroes need to work together to cleanse Megas' system, and make it off the planet alive.

This is the first episode that is surprisingly light on the humor(compared to the previous episodes atleast), and it does a good job at balancing its overall tone. While there is still the occasional spot of character humor, there's a definite atmosphere of creepiness and suspense throughout that works rather well.

And... that's actually about all I got for this one, really. The episode isn't bad, not at all, it's just alot more basic than what the previous episodes are. Still fun, still worth watching, just nothing major in the grand scheme of things.

So instead, here, have some of the old bumpers that were made for the show while it was still airing:

I really miss when Cartoon Network used to do bumpers like these.
