[QUOTE="Steadfast, post: 208254, member: 1968"] It least it was usually light enough to see wh-- okay, maybe not what was going on per se, but at least *who* was involved. I don't mean to go on a rant here, but... [comically deep breath] For a "mystery box" kind of show, Cyberworld really hasn't explained much lately. As much as people rag on Lost, there were solid stretches where questions were answered (or at least addressed), opening up more questions and keeping things interesting. The 5-minute format really gets in the way of that, so the mystery box aspect was IMO ill-advised. There's nothing *wrong* with a straightforward show. Five-minute shorts can be episodic in nature! (And I think that's part of why things worked well early on-- pacing matters.) That being said-- three hours (the approximate length of this season) is 8 or 9 half-hour "traditional" cartoons. My chief objection is how stretched out it is-- that's over an *entire year*, not 13 or 26 episodes over 9 months. [/QUOTE]
