Why? Because I say it is, that's why. I'm seizing power in the absence of anyone else exercising it.

And Snively goes spinning madly into the commercial break!

"No Brainer" is a pretty good episode, probably one of the best from Season 2 IMO. I think the big reason why is because it has all these great little ideas that don't show up anywhere else in the series: Snivley in command instead of Robotnik, Sonic turned against his friends, Knothole discovered...and it manages to explore the ideas well and resolve them in ways that feel effective and convincing rather than forced or contrived. And of course, there's the usual character interplay that made this show so wonderful; seeing the amnesiac Sonic interact with the other Freedom Fighters, Tails in particular, never fails to amuse and intrigue me, and I definitely appreciated how damned determined Sally was to find Sonic and get him back. Definitely a good'un.

Oh yeah... whoops.

I love this episode and comes close to if not my favourite. Snively as main villain is just hilarious and the ending with Snively calling Robotnik a "bottomdwelling scumsucker" and Robotnik's fat pushing him aways is brilliant. Antoine kissing Snively's boots and trying to french his way out was enjoyable and the overall plot was fun. The only downside being Dulcy speaking.

The premise of Snively (the funniest character on the show) replacing Robotnik is a real good one.

Two thumbs up for this episode.

This episode also gives Charlie Adler a chance to showcase his acting talent. When he rolls the 'r' of "Snively the Gr-r-r-r-r-r-reat," I just want to... well, what I want to do to Snively wouldn't be printable on a family website.

I always thought the ending was a little weak, though. Bam! Telepathic password solving! Bombing raid resolved.

Yeah, this was probably in the top 3 episodes of season 2 and one of the best of the series. It just has a bunch of new ideas that were introduced in this episode like Snively being the damn villain for once.
They also finally found Knothole which made the episode interesting because it could have forced the FF to find a new home. The emotion shown by Snively is also a plus in this.
I give it a A+!

This episode was enjoyable to watch. One interesting thing is that this episode points out a couple differences between Snively and Robotnik, differences which point out the reason why Snively is the lackey, and not the guy in charge.
First of all, Snively should have roboticized Sonic when he erased his memory. As soon as he found Sonic wandering around clueless, and approached as his "friend", he should have tricked him into stepping into the roboticizer and pushed the button. Yeah it was smart to get Sonic to find Knothole for him, but he wouldve gotten that anyways if Sonic was a robot. Plus it would have broke the spirit of the FFs, because we all know they cant really do anything w/o Sonic.
And when Snively went to Knothole, he was so unprepared. He went up there with only a few Swatbots and his memory scrambler. As soon as Sonic got his memory back, Snivley was easily dispatched. Robotnik would have went to Knothole in full force, and burned the place to the ground.

The pun 'missed-opportunities' fits here.

This episodes fits with the forum of it. Uh..I forgot what that was...

So what was this episode about?

Not telepathic. Just proving that they are paying attention to what the badguys say.

It would've been cool to learn more about the group that was captured in the beginning...

[The Man]

Now to get serious again is that a simple flaw in the plot. How should any FF groups easily get captured? They have the ability to be more mobile than Robotnik who, stays in the same place.

And it's wierd how easily Sonic has dropped in on Robotnik on more than once. And Robotnik did make two wizards angry at him.

If Robotnik would capture anything resembling a furry then Sonic should rig it with sleeping gas for Robotnik and the show be done with it.

I'm not going to do a whole report on real-life events vs. Sci-Fi but I guess there's no way to know how the future will behave. Especially fiction.

I don't really think that's a flaw. Robotnik has captured and roboticized almost the entire world at this point. He's practiced at finding and holding prisoners. Does it to the heroes more than once.

Yeah... You're taking Robotnik out of context, there... Except for Sonic, Robotnik would have no trouble capturing and roboticizing everyone left on the planet... Sonic is perty much single-handedly responsible for thwarting Robotnik's plans and rescuing those who have been captured. Even Snively had no problems finding Knothole once Sonic was no longer a threat.

[The Man]

There's certain broadcast standards to uphold. Like Sally trying to be more deceitful to Robotnik and/or Rotor rigging a Swatbot to get him.

I always felt the show should have ended sooner in some cases. Like one of Robotnik's experiments blowing up in his face and/or a FF confesses earlier.
