Something I've noticed lately


Something that's come to my attention at the end of most eps is the way Ash's group always finishes off Team Rocket. Even after Team Rocket is good and defeated, they insist on sending them flying with their "blasting off again" routine, rather than drift off away defeated in their balloon or whatever. I know Team Rocket is the bad guys and all, but can;t they cut them a break and lay off the "excessive force". I mean the Rockets are losing so much you can't help but pity them, but Ash is always in the whole "evil is unforgivable" mood, no matter how big/small a crime the Rockets commit. I kinda feels like the old Road Runner cartoons when no matter how much the Coyote is beaten and bruised, the RR just has to get in that last "cheap beep" to send the Coyote over a cliff after he just pulled himself out of it. One more thing that would be better is leave the Rockets around to be arrested rather than shoot them off into orbit for the umpteenth time. I personally dislike Ash and never put more interest in the shows until Advance chars rolled along. I personally like the "Legend of Raikou" group better, but that's just my opinion.

I don't think Team Rocket could be arrested though and then break out of prison numerous times in order to reappear in the next episode. Launching themselves into the horizon with a twikle is something of a tradition in the show I guess. Jessie and James know that stealing Pokemon is wrong so why shouldn't they be punished, and sometimes, Ash and friends don't do anything to blast them off. Often times, it's the result of a malfunctioning invention of theirs that blows up and launches them into space. I don't think Ash has an unforgivable attitude, I think he just rolls his eyes as if to say "here we go again!" Sometimes Ash cooperates with Jessie and James, so they can't be all bad.

Your movie today is "Track of the Moonbeast." It stars no one and features nothing.

I don't like Ash that much. One time I watched this episode with my brother and TR was on the verge of starvation so they stole food. As soon as Ash saw them, he sic'd his Pikachu on them and they "blasted off again". I mean, seriously, all they did was steal food that time.

*pikachu zaps them, team rocket blasts off*
