Arch Enemy: While testing Kowalski's newest invention, the "Nexto-Skeleton," Dale the konokono approaches the Penguins, seeking revenge against Private for crushing him. That accusation is only reinforced kwa Private accidentally crushing Dale at every chance he gets to apologize, and kwa King Julien, who vilified Private in front of all of the zoo animals. Who really crushed Dale? And can Private clear his name?

The Big S.T.A.N.K.: Rico and Skipper accidentally reactivate the S.T.A.N.K. (Super Toxic Aromatically Noxious Kaboom-boom) Project, a stink bomb disguised as a toilet designed to trap Dr. Blowhole. Upon trying to properly dispose of S.T.A.N.K., King Julien steals the toilet, believing it's the proper kiti cha enzi to replace his old one. Can the Penguins break the lock, save Julien, and escape before the bomb detonates?

Note to self: Send a tweet to Bob Schooley (@Rschooley) saying that he was right about the series becoming weirder.

That awali line best summarizes my thoughts toward this pair of new episodes (New episodes of Penguins? Unbelievable!). After a ton of new Kung Fu Panda, Winx Club and SpongeBob episodes, Nickelodeon finally turns its attention to this and T.U.F.F. Puppy, however briefly.

From @Rschooley: Wrong RT @pickledbeetles: I still can't believe Lewis Black is allowed on kids shows. Guess no one making the onyesha has seen his stand-up.

"Arch Enemy" introduces us to Dale the Snail, voiced kwa comedian Lewis Black. He does a fine job introducing us to this lilliputian character while also transferring his trademark style over to a kids onyesha like Penguins, albeit toned down. I wasn't too keen on the way Dale was portrayed here, as it made him seem too one-dimensional, only here to exact his revenge against the penguin, auk who crushed him. Just one question: how does Dale keep surviving accidental crushes kwa robotic and penguin, auk feet? With a slimy forcefield and an anodized steel shell? Oh, the joys of tiptoeing around the topic of death and the magic of cartoons...

It also seems like "Arch Enemy" has a little too much going on as it starts with Dale viewing Private as an enemy, which leads to Marlene siding with Dale, which culminates in the entire zoo believing that Private is a menace to the zoo. It seems like there wasn't enough time to adequately clear Private's name, leaving it to a promise at the end (and Dale firing lasers at Kowalski). That's it for complaints; let's songesha on to what this episode gets right.

Even though I don't like Dale's personality for appearing to be one-dimensional, it's that cantankerous one dimension that makes him likable, similar to Carl Fredrickson from "Up." It was also nice how the Nexto-Skeleton didn't work right for Kowalski, and yet it worked perfectly for Dale. Maybe Kowalski should take it as a sign. But in the meantime, I knew that Private did not crush Dale, although it was funny to see Private carelessly stepping over him multiple times, then believing that saying he was very sorry over and over again would make Dale forgive him. Not quite.

What I appreciate most, however, was when Maurice introduced King Julien to the zoo wanyama because it's similar to his introduction in the Madagascar sinema and "Happy King Julien Day!," minus the et ceteras. I also liked the slight nod to Private's Quantum Hyper-Cute pose introduced in "Cute-Astrophe." If wewe didn't know kwa now, I upendo it when they make references to awali episodes because it shows that the series is aware of what happened before. It's that small, but Lexus-like attention to detail that makes Penguins a well-polished show.

As for "The Big S.T.A.N.K.," well, it shows that Penguins has taken a turn for the weird. Bad pun, I know, but I thought that King Julien riding a tuna melt sandwich, sandwichi in "All Tied Up With A Boa" was strange enough until I watched this.

Counting how much salt and pepper was in the salt-and-pepper shakers? Building a giant stink bomb toilet to trap Dr. Blowhole? And then disposing it in a specific rest stop in New Jersey? The sheer randomness of "The Big S.T.A.N.K." makes it feel like the pilot episode for a different onyesha as they're trying out different gags, seeing what works and what doesn't. Even the acronym for S.T.A.N.K. was weird, reminding me of the acronyms used in Codename: Kids inayofuata Door (remember that show?). There's zaidi that works here than what doesn't, and that's a good thing.

At the same time, because it is an episode in the series, the sudden change makes "The Big S.T.A.N.K." feel like it's conflicted between the classic slapstick nature of Penguins and this newfound weirdness. I'm not saying that I don't like it, I do, but I wasn't expecting this level of strange. Diehard mashabiki of the onyesha may be left scratching their heads at this episode, while late newcomers may be put off kwa the weirdness. Also, what's with the constant references to New Jersey on Penguins? Heck, it spread to the new Fairly OddParents special that aired over Thanksgiving (Timmy's Secret Wish). I just want to know why this happens so often.

From @Rschooley: J/K NJ. RT @Jada_Shantel: Everbody stay tryin to fade Jersey. Even penguins of madagascar. SMDH

Moving on from the weird aspects of this episode, Skipper would make a great trucker with his usage of various truckers' lingo. At first, I was expecting "The Big S.T.A.N.K." to follow a similar premise as the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Stuck In the Wringer" because crying actually solved both problems where a main character was stuck in an infernal contraption.

As always, Penguins has kept me guessing how this would turn out because it became a race for the solution and a race against time, not one suffering at the hands of another (ahem, Patrick). It's worth noting how this marks the first time Skipper has cried. Sure, we've seen him scream, and beg, and hug, but cry? Not until now. And all it took was remembering past scenes from awali episodes with King Julien. Take note, Dr. Blowhole and Hans...

"Arch Enemy" and "The Big S.T.A.N.K." aren't the best episodes, but they are good. I'm digging this strange new direction that the onyesha is going; as long as it doesn't diminish what The Penguins of Madagascar is at its core, it's all right with me. I'm only hoping that DreamWorks and Nickelodeon can come to their senses and allow this onyesha to continue past Season 3, but that's a subject for another time. Even though "Arch Enemy" had Lewis Black as a guest star, I have to say that kwa Roy's level of patience, "The Big S.T.A.N.K." is the better episode of the two because it is the ambassador to a new era for Penguins.
    “Okay, Thomas, just drink this,” Dr. Mavis instructed holding a spoon full of a clear liquid to Tom’s beak. Tom—too weak to object—obeyed. As soon as the liquid hit his taste buds, he gagged and Mavis held his beak shut to make him swallow.

    “I’m sorry, Thomas. I know it doesn’t taste like a red herring, but it’s important that wewe take it so it keeps up your metabolism,” Mavis explained.

    Tom nodded in understanding and took a sip of water, forcing himself to keep it down.

Private stared at the TV “What do wewe want Blowhole!” Dr. Blowhole laughed “Revenge!” Private crossed his flippers “What’s your oh so perfect plan this time?” Blowhole smirked “That’s classified.” Marlene got into the conversation “What happened to Keira?” Dr. Blowhole looked straight at her with a blood-curdling glare “I took care of her, she got in my way and now she got what she deserves!” Marlene gasped “Did you…..” Dr. Blowhole scoffed “She’s not dead; I wouldn’t kill my sisters best friend.” Marlene sighed with relief. Private stepped forward...

    Weeks had passed. Manfredi, Johnson, and Rico had gotten to know each other considerably. Rico felt a little awkward for the first several days, afraid that Manfredi and Johnson wouldn’t accept him after they’d discovered just how deep his secret ability went. But even after he upchucked the pipe wrench, crowbar, clipboard, and an assortment of nuts and bolts that he had managed to get into his gut at the facility, Manfredi and Johnson still treated him like any other penguin. Eventually, he found his comfort zone and started to enjoy his time with his new brothers....

It was getting dark and still no sign of Kowalski. "How long have we been searching?" Private asks. Skipper starts picking up the pace "I don't know, maybe an hour."Private looks over at Marlene's habitat and sees she's not there "Hmm i wonder where Marlene is." Suddenly he sees Alice chasing something kwa the lemurs habitat."Skipper...what's Alice chasing?" Skipper stops walking and looks over at the lemurs "I don't know, maybe it's Kowalski." They start sliding over to the lemurs habitat when they realize it was Marlene Alice was chasing. Skipper slides under one of the...

Chapter 5: Tranquility Lane

Private made it to a small abandon car repair shop. Private looked at his Pip-Boy to see if he went to the right place, and it alisema kuba 112. Private went inside anyways to see what he could find. The place was old and dusty, cobwebs everywhere. Private noticed a huge door on the floor on the far-left side of the room, and walked to it. He opened the door and it showed stairs that lead to the basement. He went down, but saw that this wasn’t the basement at all. Instead it was the entrance to kuba 112. Private looked at the control panel, and just simply just pressed...

It was a typical Friday afternoon, field trip day. We were all exhausted from today, and were finally happy to have a break from the visitors. After everybody had left and the zoo was closed, I decided to throw a party in celebration for what a great job we did today, I told Kowalski to get Marlene, private to grab julien and his crew, and Rico to help me set up for the party. Everybody was stoked to see how nice of it was to celebrate, even though we do this every Friday, I felt like today was the hardest.

"Wow! Thanks a bunch skipper!" alisema Marlene with a happy expression on her face.

Once they got inside, Sky dropped Skipper on to the stone floor somewhat carelessly. "Ah-Ug!" screamed Skipper as his body made contact with the floor.
"Hahahahahaha! Sucker! Hahahaha-WAH!" shrieked Emily as she too got dropped to the floor. Skippers team and family were about to help them up when Voilet, Skippers other sister, used her 'black magic' to lavetate them back on to there feet. Everyone (A/N: Exept for Skipper and his family,) looked at her in astonishment.

Location: Penguin's Island

I awoke in a large crate with dim lighting through a little hole for air. I was to tired to get back on my webbed feet and knock open this door myself.

Finally I stood up in my crate and looked through the small hole. I gasp. Their was another eye!

"Hello?" I heard someone say. "Is anyone in there?"

I almost leaped out of my feathers. Wow did the cops find me that easily?, I thought. Things were going through my brain like going fishing with samaki streaming
through a river.

"Hello?" I asked. "Can...

Private rushed to the HQ, and straight into his bunk. There he laid wailing into his pillow. Unfortunately, with all his stress, he didn't notice the burning smell au smoke. His mto grew damp underneath his face. Both of his failures played through his mind like a degrading movie. The zaidi he thought, the worse he felt. Skipper's so mad at me! I'm such a failure! How could I mess up twice?! Private screamed in his mind.
We headed into the habitat in disbelief. I rushed into through the hole first. Smoke filtered the room, and it was coming from the oven. As always, we all-well except for...

I could hardly see through the tears. "Skipper!" I cried, pulling away from my mother. I ran after Skipper and my unfaimiliar father. I knew I could save my younger brother. After all dad wanted both of us. Our parents had divorced right after Skipper was born. Our mom got both of us and ever since then our dad wanted one of us.

It's my bedtime now I'll write zaidi later.
