[quote="Salukfan"]I just re-watched "Armored and Dangerous" and it's really, really difficult to ignore how technically bad that episode is. Animation gaffes galore, strange sound mixing (example- you can clearly hear Scott Weinger's voice among the screaming Agrabanians at the start of the episode, when Aladdin being out of town is an early plot point), and odd palate choices (like the guard with the periwinkle skin... that's not normal :lol: ) make the episode a difficult one to watch. That being said, I think it has a great story and some great character moments in it. For example, there's stuff on Agrabah's past (and it's not that hard to fit into the history, unlike trying to put the Witches and Amok into the chronology :lol: ), we see how far Sultan will go to defend his kingdom, and Rasoul gets a shining hero moment. It's one of my favorite episodes, even though it's very, very difficult to not avert my gaze for all 22-minutes. :lol: My point is, what are some of your favorite "bad" episodes? Bad is entirely subjective, of course, and can pretty much be defined any way you want to define it. A&D, however, does make an excellent poster-child for the word. :lol:[/quote]

Europeans going into the Middle East just reminded me too much of colonization. (Middle East history major here. Sorry!) although I do like that they become friends... and as one poster said, I love that Iago (and the whole series, pretty much) always makes fun of their intelligence. The excessive cheese jokes do make me roll my eyes a little. But I also love "That Stinking Feeling" - I like any episode about Al and Jas' relationship.
