Invader Zim Official Topic
Alright, so this show is SO. GOOD. Although I may say I love Adventure Time, this is still my favorite, all-time. My life goal is to seriously meet the voice behind Zim, Richard Horvitz.
Anyway, for those of you who don't know what Zim is, it was a show on Nickelodeon that was cancelled at the beginning of its second season about an alien invader named Zim, who was banished from his home planet because he destroyed it, who is sent on a fake mission by his leaders to get rid of him. His ‘mission’ is to explore a mysterious planet, which his leaders think is just empty space. Zim also receives a malfunctioning robot named GIR to accompany him. Later, he arrives at the planet, which turns out to be Earth, and horribly disguises himself and GIR to look normal. Nobody can tell he's an alien except for Dib, a human boy who believes in paranormal things, but nobody believes him because he's ‘weird’.
Zim was cancelled due to low ratings(*not* because of a hidden, disturbing image of GIR in every episode), but since then has racked up a huge fan base and is considered a pop culture icon. There have been two conventions, and a third one could be made, as it is holding a poll on Facebook on a location currently, then holding a Kickstarter. If the Kickstarter fails, there will be NO InvaderCON AGAIN. Like ever.
Alright. That's enough fangirling. XD Discuss the pop culture hit here.

This is a great series. I'm too lazy to think of a quote right now though.

I don't know… Usually it's the popular thought as to why it was cancelled(though it's not the real reason!). Though I've never actually seen one in an episode, there's supposed to be a transparent image of GIR covered in what looks like… well, just google it and you'll see. Haha I don't want to be banned. in ‘Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy’ and every episode after. I think it might be in the DVD episodes, but the new airings of IZ don't have it, or at least I don't think.GASP!

I just realized; if anything, Zim would be Dib's best friend. Weird? Yeah, I know. XD But I keep thinking of GLaDOS' line ‘…When all along, you were my best friend.’
Bow down to ZIIIIMMM!! Maybe he'll go easy on us.

I used to be obsessed with this show when I was younger. Seriously, this was like my favorite show ever at the time. But then I kind of lost interest in it after they cancelled it and haven't watched it in years. I don't even remember much about it anymore, unfortunately.
