Episode Discussion

[KCC]

Here's where we can talk about all the episodes of Xiaolin Showdown. There are three seasons so far, with a fourth in production. Problem is, the WB, who had bought the eps in the first place, is now refusing to buy season 4, so the only other network that has XS is the Cartoon Network, but there's no telling if and when they'll get the eps and air them. So for now, there's three seasons.

Well that seems to be a dilemna, what was the last episode aired?

[KCC]

"Time After Time pt 2". It was the conclusion of what happened after Omi tried to change the past, then went to the present, then the Future to get the Sands of Time, then into the distant past again. It picks up from there, and ends when Master Fung picks the Xiaolin Leader and says that although the leader was chosen, the fight against the Heylin is far from over.

[megaman123]

It seems I haven't seen that. XD. Well, I was just wondering... who does get picked as the leader? Omi right?

[KCC]

Nope, it was Raimundo. Omi had messed things up big-time, and Rai took charge and helped make sure things were set right, and it was probably b/c of that (and I said PROBABLY) he was made the leader.

[megaman123]

What did Omi do? Was it that he went under service for that one guy?... what was his name again? Oh yeah, Chase Young. Or am I wrong?

[KCC]

Well, Master Fung said that there was one last quest for the monks to go on in order for him to pick a leader. But, they had to choose it themselves, and make sure it was noteworthy enough for them to get picked over the others. Omi decided to do something REAL good and try to prevent Chase from being tempted to the Heylin side by Hannibal Roy Bean. However, the Sands of Time was taken to the Future, so in order for Omi to get the Sands of Time, he and Dojo froze themselves many, many yrs into the Future.

When they thawed, they found out that Jack had successfully taken over the world, and I think it was Kimiko who had been chosen as leader at that time, but everyone had been defeated by Jack, including Chase and Wuya. Omi somehow got the Sands of Time, and he and Dojo used it just as Jack was about to kill the Xiaolin monks. Omi and Dojo were transported to the distant past, to the time where Dashi, Chase and Guan defeated Wuya 1500 yrs previous to the show's present day.

Omi later dissuaded Chase from joining the Heylin side, but when he returned to the present, he found out that Hannibal went to Guan after Chase refused his offer, so Guan was Heylin and Chase was Xiaolin. Oh yeah, and the monks basically had gone into hiding and quit being Xiaolin warriors... and Jack was a good guy somehow. Thru a long series of events, Chase became evil again, and there was a weird showdown where they had to rescue Dojo from a castle, and Omi ended up being the winner out of all the characters (they all participated). Afterwards, the Xiaolin went to the place where Omi had frozen himself and freed that Omi, but when the 2 Omi's touched hands, all sorts of weird stuff happened, but the timeline eventually got fixed.

Later on, Fung said that he had chosen the leader, and it was Raimundo, who in the ep, took charge after learning of Omi's screw-up and made sure to do whatever it took to fix things. Then you see the Heylin, and Fung says that their job is far from over, and they go after the Heylin with Rai in the lead. And that ended season 3.

...Whew, that was pretty long.

[megaman123]

*Reads the long paragraph* Thanks a lot for the information KCC!!! That's pretty long, and complicated but I get it.

[KCC]

Yeah, sorry... but it was hard to summarise when I was discussing 2 eps there. Is there anything else you'd like to know about the show or anything that happens in it or to the characters??

[megaman123]

Not currently, thanks though!!!

[KCC]

Welcome. So which one is your fave character and ep??

[megaman123]

I like Raimundo the best and my favorite episode is when Omi goes back in time to get the box in which they need to conceal Wuya in from Master Dashi. I just enjoy it for some reason.

[KCC]

Probably b/c you get to actually see Dashi, and he's a real laid-back guy.

My faves are Jack Spicer (obviously), Chase Young and Raimundo. Fave ep is "Sands of Time", just cause there's so much kewl and very funny stuff going on in that ep.

[megaman123]

I see I see, how come you like Jack Spicer? I'm not saying it's bad, just wondering.

[KCC]

Well, he's funny, he's Goth (like me), ya kinda gotta sympathise with him once in a while, he's evil, umm... I don't know the whole reason, really (strangely), but aside from the fact in later eps when they made him into a total wussy momma's-boy, he was actually kinda kewl for a villain.
