From TV.com:
"Due to an error report, XR is sent off to the resort world of Mahamba 6 for a weekend pass after recovering from a battle with the Vulturans. Unfortunately, XR is kidnapped by XL during his trip and he steals his body. XL returns to Star Command posing as XR and plants a bomb in Star Command's Fusion Core and then attempts to make his getaway before the bomb goes off. Can XR save the day? Will Team Lightyear catch on to XL's scheme"?
Great episode, after the disappointing "The Beasts of Karn", it's good to see that the high quality in both writing and animation is back. every episode with XL is gold, and it doesn't hurt that Bobcat does the voice. Maybe not as good as "The Return of XL" in my opinion, but still fantastic fun to watch.

You don't have to paste summaries if you don't want to- we've all seen the episode.
I love this ep. One of my personal favorites.

...Hey, I like it too... even if it had bombed like 'Main Event' I don't see how 'THE WRITING AND ANIMATION DIED IN IT AND MADE ME FEAR FOR TEH WHOEL SERIES'.
Booster getting poached is gold.

Come on, you gotta admit the animation was bad when compared to other episodes. The "poaching Booster" part was the only thing that made the episode somewhat interesting, but it could've been so much better.

but you also gotta admit there are episodes with even worse animation.
I don't know what the word poaching means

Much worse animation. Like 'Star Smasher'. -shudder-
Apart from Ozma existing, I have no problems with 'Beasts of Karn'... XR had some good lines, Booster was fantastic, Mira could have been given more attention though, she kinda got shoved aside in favor of TUFF MARY-SUE.
And the animation's not HORRIBLE. The style is off, but there's good motion, nothing is stiff or jerky or animelike.

The worse part of anime is how it's no longer a style, it's a tendency, which makes it all so alike
animA "OMG this a fan art of sakura sukido matsuka"
AnimB "liek NOH"
AnimA "OH!, then it's fan art of yuko kamasawa, from anotar cartoon"
AnimeB "DUBLE NOOOH this is ma own teh original character"
AnimA "but they so alike, exactlee teh same"
AnimB "OMG ur rait, they copiet meh"
AnimA "but they cartoons from ten, and 4 years ago"
AnimB "time travel, thous WEESELS!".
Anyways, on to the beasts of karn, Booster in undies
HOT
>D
no?, u sure?. TEH FUANY THEN.
What I like the most out of head case is how it shows that Xr is ideal for bomb defusing, not only should he be really good at it for being a robot, and therefore having a certain superior dexterity (like in I, robot there was this one that drew with both hands at once), but him blowing up is not an absolute loss, unfortunate yes, but not like it would be with an organic being.

I love Larry Miller's voice acting. He sounds so... perfect in every way in this ep.

I have only seen a few episodes. "Star Smasher" was mentioned, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately? I haven't seen it yet. Maybe it's gonna air tomorrow?

SLAYER. D: This episode was pretty hilarious. XD I can't believe nobody caught that it wasn't XR, though. Booster's the only one who even makes a comment along those lines... But yeah, this was a good episode. "Mira! Where did you learn to snake-dance?" XD |

BEST LINE IN EPPY:
XL: Say hi to your lovely... spouse?
Delivery guy: ... I'm not married.
XL: Then, don't! DX
Oh boy.. I was on the floor for a while with that one. XD

I loved how they were able to figure out which one was XR at the end. It shows you how loyal our little robot really is.

Anyone else notice XR is a really, really bad dancer? REALLY bad. Not just in this ep, either. Recuse Mission, Return of XL, War and Peace and War... he can't dance. at all.
