My Hostage, Not Yours/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Iggins. He tries to kill Gaz (and by extension, Dib and Zim), all because she took his Game Slave 2 when they were kids. And he stole it from her in the first place. And then he brainwashes Gaz because he has a crush on her and isn't even trying to win her fairly, instead making her a slave.
    • And let's not forget that he's willing to use his own younger siblings as defense when the protagonists attack his lair.
      • Also, on top of all that, there's the very disturbing subtext of what he plans to do to Gaz after he brainwashes her.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: "Gir, stop trying to eat your bow-tie."
  • Epileptic Trees: When the author announced that Tak would be returning in Takeover, the reviewers came up with dozens of theories as to how. None of them were right.
  • Evil Is Sexy: The description of the Valkian Queen makes her sound pretty good looking by human standards.
    • Gaz has apparently bloomed pretty well, too. True, she can't really qualify as "evil" until Takeover, but she sure as hell wasn't "good" beforehand.
      • Interestingly, she doesn't flaunt her looks -- if anything, she hates how good-looking she is, as she'd rather be feared than admired.
  • I Knew It!: One of the reviewers correctly predicted that Dib would get the second Pill, and had this reaction when it happened.
    • And one viewer correctly guessed Iggins was the mystery Big Bad of Revenge.
  • Moral Event Horizon: The aforementioned brainwashing for Iggins. And then, he makes Gaz fight and nearly kill Zim, the person she loves most.
