Random Thoughts and Musings - Warning: Spoilers

"Did the fruit bite you, Tygra?"  I'd say this episode had a blatant 'Drugs are bad' theme...but it didn't!  The first time it was aired on Cartoon Network, they cut the first half entirely, probably because they assumed they'd be dealing with some slack from parents on the topic.  This may be the first addiction we see on the show, but it won't be Tygra's last.  Intelligent as he is, he seems to have a week spot for acquiring more knowledge/pleasure/power, and isn't daunted by what he has to do to get it.  A try anything once kind of guy.
