3/13/2008 Episode: "Jackie Khones and Case of the Overdue Library Crook"

[jekylljuice]

I wonder how (or, perhaps more appropriately, if) Mac was finally able to resolve his issues with the library? Sure, he could return the missing book - though I did notice that he appeared to leave it lying there as he walked away from the pool at the end (gotta say, I liked how Mac was able to show restraint and resist whopping Jackie with that book, presumably in the interests of not damaging it further) - but as he said, who knows how much money he was now in debt for? And that's side-stepping the added issue of the financial damage inflicted by Bloo's DVD club subscription. As for the extreme extent in which those librarians stalked him - are we to take that at face value, or possibly as a product of Mac's overactive paranoia? Well, maybe.

I enjoyed this episode. As others have pointed out, it's a bit atypical for Foster's, but in a fresh and interesting way, and I will further echo the general feeling that, as culprits go, Bloo would have been just a bit too obvious, so it's extremely pleasing that they were not only able to resist that pitfall, but use it as the basis of an awesome little gag at the expense of our own expectations. Highlights for me included Mac, Jackie and that RC car, Fluffer Nutter's contributions, and, last but certainly not least, Wilt, the darling devilled egg thief. That final nervous apology of his made me crack up so hard. It's really good to have the old Wilt back again.
