* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This episode is very different from the rest of the series; the boys are OutOfFocus until the very final scene, almost focusing on Kyle the whole time. In addition, Kyle's attitude is slightly more malicious than later appearances, and Fanboy and Chum Chum seem more clueless. The usual bouncy transitional music also doesn't play at all, and the whole episode is set at the school. This is also the only time Kyle seemed to kill the heroes with will, only to be stopped at the very last second.
