Tonight's episode was a double episode, made up of two 15-minute "mini-eps" instead of the usual 30-minute one, "Sight For Sore Eyes" and "Bloo's Brothers". The first one was pretty interesting because this was the first time I've seen Wilt get REALLY P.O'd! NOBODY else who is a fan of his better EVER accuse RANDALL of getting an attitude! Jeesh! First Bloo locked the others in a closet in a game of "hide 'n seek", then forgot about them while he and Mac tried to help a multi-eyed Seeing-Eye Friend(who looks like an albino version of "Waxford", but with even MORE eyes and an awful memory)find his blind human creator, who'd been separated from him. One thing I've found out gets on Wilt's last good nerve really fast is for someone to lock him in a closet. So, presumably after busting down the closet door, he leads the others after Bloo, thinking that Bloo abandoned them in the closet on purpose. Bloo finds some little kid with dark glasses, assumes it's the missing blind kid, and charges, scaring the kid(who can see)half to death, and a chase ensues, which ends up with Bloo tackling the kid and later getting beat up and tossed in a dumpster by the kid's big brother. Mac is off with "Ivan", the albino, looking for the REAL blind kid, "Stevie"(named after Stevie Wonder), and misses out of this part. Wilt(who's on like this Buddy Pine "seek and destroy" mission by now, complete with that Syndrome "purposeful walk")and the others find Bloo in the dumpster, and give him what-for, when Bloo explains that HE was abandoned, and beaten up by the kid's older brother, so the others assume that he's talking about MAC, and his rotten older brother Terrance, so NOW they're after MAC. As much as I dislike Terrance, I really, REALLY would have felt sorry for that little punk if he'd had the unfortunate timing to have crossed paths with the Tall Red One at that moment! And yeah, Mac got chewed out big-time, too, and somehow managed to keep his cool long enough to explain what REALLY happened. Funny thing is, for once Wilt never apologized to any of those he got ahold of-I guess that just as is the case with Randall, he can just hold it in for so long, and then woe be unto those who find themselves in his path when he finally goes off! It was kinda funny, but I was like, "WHOA! Dude, chill out!"

Wilt's funny. Though, no offence or anything, Pitbulllady, but once I saw the names of the episodes, I made sure to miss out reading more of your post- don't want to spoil it for myself! ;D

I figured you would have seen this episode already, since it's a re-run here, and for some reason, episodes of this show air first in England, THEN in the US/Canada, which is unusual for a US-made tv series. I know that at least two new episodes have aired in England that have yet to be seen here in the US; the first of those will be shown on July 1 over here.
But, yeah, Wilt is funny, and not nearly as mild-mannered a "push-over" as he first seemed! Going back to some of the forums for this show, a lot of fans complained that he was TOO sweet and gave in too quickly to others, so I guess the show's writers decided to bring out a bit of an "edge". NOW some of those same people are complaining that in the second season he's gotten too "mean" and short-tempered! Seems like the poor guy just can't win, can he? I guess he and Randall would have even MORE in common now. He did get TOTALLY, righeously P***ed in an episode that aired yesterday morning though-seems that Wilt has some serious issues with others making fun of his height, or ANY tall person, for that matter! Doing that ranks right there with calling Randall "Lizard Boy" or telling Buddy Pine to "fly home" on the list of Things You Just Do Not Do, LOL! And Bloo(the immediate cause of that anger), of course, is just as oblivious as Mike Wazowski was during that scene when Randall accosted him in the hallway and asked him what would happen when both hands on the clock were on the 12.

I think Wilt also has that low self-esteem Randall has- in one episode, when Mac and Bloo first meet him, they just stare...and stare...and he's like, "I know, you're probably weirded out by my funny eye and stumpy arm" and Mac interrupts him with "Yooouuu'rreee taaaaall..." and he sort of chuckles, embarrassed, and mutters, "I guess I am..." It seems to me as though when he picked out all of his bad points, it showed that he has no confidence in himself.

Good point, LGBB. Wilt gives the impression of someone who's come to accept his uhhhm...I hate to use the word "handicaps" here, since they really don't seem to slow him down one bit..."differences", but his overeagerness to help others, and not offend anyone, probably stems in part at least, from his determination to prove something. That's pretty much the same case with Randall as his apparent competitiveness. Both of them are compensating for how others perceive them, they just do so in different ways. After awhile though, it becomes apparent that both of them also have limits as to just how much crap they can put up with, and both have certain "triggers" that can set them off like a Molotov c o c k tail! In the episodes I've seen so far, I have NEVER heard ANYONE mention Wilt's missing arm and fake eye(yeah, it's not a real eye at all), so I have no clue as to how he'd react to that, but he definately is self-concious of his height, and gets EXTREMELY perturbed....extremely FAST...if someone makes fun of that, or of ANY tall individual, much as Randall would if someone made fun of the fact that he's scaly and reptile-like. To ME, anyway, this "dark side" doesn' t make him unpleasant, but more human, more like a real person, since that's how all of us are. Of course, knowing that he can twirl a 12-pound freakin' BOWLING BALL on the end of his index finger and slam-dunk THAT thing through a hardwood floor makes his getting P.O'd a bit more of a serious issue than Randall's, LOL! I have visions in my mind of Bloo ending up like Gilbert Huph one of these days, slammed through several walls at that mansion for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time!

The recent one I saw was hilarious ^^ Wilt was complaining about tall-jokes, and how people keep asking him how's the weather up there, so he asked Bloo how the weather was down there, and Bloo said "Partly cloudy with a chance of ... nevermind!!"
And Wilt said he was glad Bloo was gonna get beat up, that he was getting a taste of his own medicine. Bloo: "Is it bubblegum flavored?"
;D

I think Wilt's left (or "wonky") eye is actually a real eye. It's just been damaged some way. Someone said to reference, that in the "Bloooooooo" episode (ghost one), that while they're in the closet hiding, all you see are they're eyes. While you only see ONE of our tall red friend's eyes. He's (or what some think) blind in that eye.
Also, anyone else notice that in the "Sight for Sore eyes" episode, Ivan's voice seemed a LITTLE bit familiar to ANOTHER stranged numbered eye friend of ours? *nudge nudge* *coughpleecklycough*
Yes.....Well...Uhm...*runs away*

Hmm I remember that. Yeah, that and the "Cheese" episode are my fav so far. XD "Your soap smells like foot." "HOT ROD FLAMES!" "bunnies..." "Ok, I don't even KNOW you anymore... - -Shut up. Atleast the bunnies are on fire..." Oh. My. GOD. That episode was effing BRILLIANT. =D BRILLIANT, I say! "So you're Mac... and he's Cheese..." "*irritated* Yes..." "So that makes you both..." "*very, very irritated* YES..." "Mac and Cheese?" "*rimshot*" :-D The whole TV show is brilliant, and surprisingly witty for a children's cartoon made by the guy who brought you the Powerpuff Girls. X3 And Wilt is, indeed, the best. The very very best. Personally I just think he was created that way. All the cruddy (I say 'cruddy' because they seem to make me feel a bit more ill with their graphic nature than make me feel genuinely sorry for Wilt. I'm one to talk, though, witht he nature of my fics...), angsty fics about Wilt being abused in one way or another by a demented former-creator forced me to believe exactly the opposite of what they were insinuating. I'm difficult like that. And as for Rockhound quotes... =3 [Rockhound is leafing through the Rorschach inkblots]Rockhound: Woman with large breasts... woman with medium breasts... [to the male tester]Rockhound: This one looks like you... *with* breasts. And, although Rockhound doesn't get a very good line in this one, it's damn hilarious: Dan: So what's the verdict? Harry Stamper: They'll do it. They've made a few requests though. Dan: Such as? Harry Stamper: Well, there's uh, few things here [rifles through sheets of paper]Harry Stamper: ... nothing really big, uh, well as an example, uh, Oscar here's got some outstanding parking tickets. Wants them wiped off his record... Oscar: [ shouting from balcony] Fifty-six tickets in seven states... Harry Stamper: [ to Oscar] I'll tell 'em Oscar, you got it. [ to Truman] Harry Stamper: Uh, Noonan's got some women friends he'd like to see made American citizens no questions asked... Max would like you to... bring back eight-track tapes. Not sure if that's gonna work. Uhm, Bear would like to stay at the... [tries to read writing]Harry Stamper: "White horse"? [looks up at Bear]Bear: White, *House*. White House. Harry Stamper: White House yeah, he'd like to stay in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House for the summer. Stuff like that. Dan: Sure, I think we can take care of... some of that. Rockhound: [shouting from balcony] Harry! Harry Stamper: [Motions back at Rockhound] Yeah, one more thing, uh... none of them wanna pay taxes again. [pause]Harry Stamper: Ever. ~Keaton the Black Jackal

One, even a blind eye will still reflect light, if there's still a retina present, and two, it RATTLES, for crying out loud! It's one of those fake plastic eyes with the "googly" "pupil" that's used for cheap dolls and stuff, and I guess someone(what kind of doctors treat Imaginary Friends? Obviously, since they CAN be hurt, and CAN get sick, they'd need medical help once in awhile)put that fake eye there, maybe just to balance out his appearance. Obviously he can't see out of it, though, one way or the other. I guess eventually they will reveal what happened to him, since I don't think he was made that way. He wouldn't refer to himself as "broken" if that had always been the "norm" for him. And yeah, I DID catch that unmistable Kevin McDonald panic-mode wail in "Sight For Sore Eyes", LOL! Nobody does panic and hysteria better than Kevin! pitbulllady

It would be QUITE interesting, to put it mildly, to envision a conversation between him and Mike Wazowski, now wouldn't it? Bloo is also totally clueless as to others reaching their limits of patience with him, because he's so full of himself...again, just like Mike. pitbulllady

But Bloo's funny! ;D There's something about him that makes me...well, like him a little bit- you know, when he says funny things- yet hate him because he's so, to put it bluntly, up himself. If you've seen the episode where they win an elephant that squeaks when you squeeze it arcade, the bit that sticks out in my mind is when Bloo takes it for himself and breaks it, even though it's everyone's toy, so when he goes back there to win the toy again so no-one notices, he insteads ends up getting the one prize HE wanted instead of the elephant- vampire fangs! And you can hardly share those, now, can you?

And you can hardly share those, now, can you? Yeah, I cracked up over that one. When I was a kid, I thought those plastic vampire teeth was a GOTTA HAVE item, so I can sorta relate to Bloo, but then you really can't share 'em, can you? Some of Bloo's funniest lines were in that episode, like: Guy behind counter: "That'll be 499 more tickets, please"(after Bloo hands him his ONE ticket and tries to get the vampire teeth, which are 500 tickets). Bloo: "How do you SLEEP at night?" Frankie(as group is getting back on the bus): "So, I see you guys did the whole 'pool your tickets and get a better prize thing'". Bloo: "Noooooo...we did the whole 'pool your tickets and get a STYOOOOPID prize thing'"! It was also funny, in a twisted sort of way, how Bloo tortured poor Eduardo with that elephant, throwing it against walls and dropping it off the balcony and stuff, since Ed was all parental and protective of the thing. pitbulllady
