If you stuck an Irken in a blender, I think the result (pink blood + internal juices of various colors + green skin) would match the shade of brown my cotton candy + lime shaved ice turned as it melted when I was a child.

I’ve decided Irkens like guns even more than Americans, if such a thing is possible. It is possible to lure an entire argument of Irkens and trap them just by leaving a big shiny cannon or a shotgun out. They’ll all run out to come and see it, and fight over who gets to fire it first.

Also, opinions on Zim being a Chronic Pain Bastard? If I have to suffer, so does he.

Episode where Zim and GIR enter a cooking competition. Dib is trying to sabotage him, because of course he is.

Given that Irken culture heavily emphasizes the subject of doom, destruction and is so focused on it's military, I wouldn't be shocked if they were a bunch of gun nuts. Huge guns both tout Irken superiority and nationalism. It wasn't shown in canon, but Zim especially has to fucking love his guns given his love for other weaponry like the Megadoomer. Specifically the ones he created.

You know what, I think I get why Zim got reassigned to be a scientist in The Trial instead of sent to prison or something for his previous incidents. Despite Zim's dumb moments, he's a very capable engineer when he wants to be. He worked with the literal garbage that made up GIR's brain to create a competent SIR Unit. If they would've given Zim room to do his own projects, but also watched after what he was doing to prevent another accident like with Tallest Miyuki, then things would be pretty good for both Zim and the rest of the Empire.

Zim is clever, he just needs to be supervised. The problem is that bad things happen to people who supervise him. GIR is competent only when it’s funny.

He was too emotional to be like the other SIR Units but he was much more capable of accomplishing the mission. It's both funny and sad that Zim was a threat to his own mission because it's true. We never got a feel about the other SIR Units besides the scenes with Mimi, but even then, I can't gage their thought process. I wonder how a proper SIR Unit acts.

Another thing that I find very interesting when reading over the transcript is the line "Yes, I didn't like it." in response to Zim saying that GIR was his servant once. How much of that was Zim tampering with GIR's brain and how much was how GIR genuinely felt before being changed?
