Episode 3: NanoZim

At the start of the episode there is a security breach an intruder comes in which is Dib in a ninja outfit . Gir left door and window open (Gir- "OH Yehhh!). Gir is a very interesting character and he creates lots of humour in the series.

Dib wants to send the photo to Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery. We see Gaz love of games which helps dib out in the end.

Zim goes inside Dib and starts controlling his arms ( he is attached to the arm control nerve in his belly). He plans to destroy the pictures , delete his memory of where the other copy is and make his brain not smart!. Dib uses his dad microscopic nanoship to fight Zim but is unsuccessful. Gaz ( Gaz- "When you die can I play?") just thinks it is a game (online game vs Zim) and takes over and wins the battle which saves Dib.

Episode 2: Bestest Friend

To be more human Zim feels he needs a best friend. As no friends meant "inhuman" to the children at skool. Jessica a student at the skool says "But look at him, all by himself! I mean, what kind of kid doesn't have any friends? It's so... inhuman"

Zim creates a test to see who would become his best friend it includes three parts:
1. Absorbency
2. Electrical Conductivity
3. Involves a beaver and a small toy taxi car (don't see what happens but hear screaming, might been for the best we didn't see!)

From the testing he determines that Keef is to be his best friend.
After awhile he Zim doesn't need him anymore as he feels earth is satisfied with the companionship. Keef still wants to be friends and comes over to Zim's house ( Gir was ordered not to let anyone in didn't listen). Zim says he is sick and not going to skool. Keef than wants to throw a surprise party for him to cheer him up.

Gir ends up telling about the surprise "Oh, I can't take it, you're too smart for me. Keef is planning a susprise party for you after skool. He gonna bring all the kids because he loves you! That boy loves you so much! I'm making the cake!".

Zim gives Keef a present that takes Keefs real eyes and replaces with robot eyes that make him think that the next living thing him sees is his best friend a squirrel!

 
This episode is humorous (dark humour) as we see Zim display more of his unusual behaviour such as his best friend test and hate towards humans. The genres that Invader Zim falls under is black comedy, action , science fiction and animation.

Episode 1: The Nightmare begins



The first episode gives us a introduction about the Irken race and what there plans are. We find out about Operation Impending Doom 2. This plan is to dominate all planets and have all races serving the Irken race. Operation Impending Doom 1 failed as Zim started to destroy his own planet. Zim gets banished but escapes and goes to the assignment of planets to invaders anyway. He is assigned a "secret mission" which is a joke to make him go away.

With his sidekick Gir they travel for 6 months (Gir sings Doom song non stop!) and arrive at earth (to conquer it!) which was not planned by the tallest they wanted him dead. At earth he disguises himself a human child and Gir is disguised as a dog. In class at skool Zim runs into his nemesis Dib. He knows straight away he is an alien and tries to tell everyone but no one believes him. This starts the great struggle for Dib to prove that there is aliens and he is not crazy. After skool ends Dib goes after Zim to prove that he is and alien by putting him in cuffs and removing disguise. This however fails as when Zim goes home one of his gnomes destroys the cuffs. Zim than tells about how conquering earth is going fine to the tallest they are astonished that he is even alive.

This episode sets the mood for the whole series as it shows humour and action. The characters are loveable as they all are unique and have crazy quirks about them. Such as Gir being a faulty robot what he says and does most of the time is not he is meant to do ( Gir: "I'm gonna sing the doom song now! Doom doom do doom doo doom doom".). The cartoon is stylised and fits the story being told (sometimes very creepy).
