When I was a kid admit that I did not understand anything about this episode and the characters because of how simple and innocent I was.
Watching this as an adult I am like: Christopher Nolan must have been a Johnny Quest fan because the story of the trilogy might as well been based on this episode:
- We have a hungry for ratings news station that basically puts a bounty on the beast and drives people crazy.
- there is an giant underground city under New York;
- Benton Quest and Race Banon use some kind of high tech computer to listen to every phone in New York and basically find a Johnny from his voice exactly like radar;
- There is so much interracial conflict in this episode that confused me but today it makes sense.
Honestly, the episode is full of ideas both great in terms of what is possible and used by Chris Nolan. And the social messages of the goldilocks and the brothas living in the slums.
Still relevant today.
