Okay, I might be reading too much into this but ...
To me, it seemed that in this episode XR was really concerned about Mira's safety, maybe more so than most other episodes.
First of all, when Epoch, Eon and Era threaten to use that stuff to melt Mira's skin, XR immediately yells out for them to stop. Funny, he just happened to be there right when Mira was in danger.
And then later, after Mira ghosts the slimy guy out of his exhibit and she feels tired, XR immediately asks her if she's okay - his voice sounds so concerned.

I AM NOT ALONE IN THE UNIVERRRRRSE No, that's definitely not reading too much into it. It's awesome how he just pops up out of nowhere at that point. Awesome. 83 And even earlier in the episode, when Booster and Mira are first caught in that net, how he again pops up out of nowhere. ^^ after Mira ghosts the slimy guy out of his exhibit and she feels tired, XR immediately asks her if she's okay - his voice sounds so concerned. I love the concern in his voice. :3 He's absolutely adorable. On a side note, I gotta say - this episode totally freaks me out; scares me more than any other in the series. o-o and Ninja, you must be able to read my mind, because I have a oneshot planned that's based on this :3

YAYYY WE ARE NOT ALONE! *dances with joy* ;D Yeah, it's awfully convenient that he shows up right when Mira's in trouble - both times! But he totally wasn't there when Buzz's suit was melted. On a side note, I really think XR should have gotten more recognition for what he did, both in this episode and in Lost in Time. He suffered through pain and electrical shocks just so that he could save his team. I totally did a double take at that line XR said. "You all right, Mira?" His voice just sounds so ... different there. I think it's his tone - it comes across as being genuinely concerned and caring. <3 It totally gave me shivers the second time I listened to it. (Now I sound like a total dweeb.) XD This episode was scary in kind of a satirical way. Those aliens were evil in a way that seemed completely normal to them. Like, "Oh, they're just lesser beings. What we are doing is completely okay." Which is kind of what makes it creepy - it's not a flat-out scary, but more of a subtly-sick-and-twisted scary. And yay, I'm a mind reader! Can't wait to see it, as always.

YAYYY WE ARE NOT ALONE! *dances with joy* ;D WHEEEEEE! I actually find that a bit - frightening and amusing - why didn't he speak up when Buzz was about to be melted? oO Oh, srsly. He deserves a lot more recognition for what he does. -_- -> "I hope I get a medal for this..." XD No, not at all! His voice does sound truly different there - I can't think of any other point in the series when he sounds quite like that. :3 Yes, exactly! That's what scares me. oO The Clorm scientists can clearly communicate with Booster and Mira - and even though they understand them they still see nothing wrong with locking them up or subjecting them to painful tests. I do enjoy the attack on animal testing, though. X3 Animal testing is stupid. Aww ^^

Maybe he just didn't reach the room when Buzz was being melted. Or maybe he just didn't know exactly what the Clorm technology would do. Maybe he was hoping Buzz would just end up saving the day somehow. But no, it was all up to him.
And I seriously wanted to strangle the Clorm scientists at some parts. Eon just seemed snobbish to me, he wasn't really dangerous that much. Epoch just rambles nonsense that no one can understand - except Eon and Era. (I mean seriously, he should be considered a lesser being.)
But Era ... *shudders* He was pretty creepy! He wanted to do more testing even though Eon told him that it really wasn't necessary. He just likes killing lesser beings I guess.

Um, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could see this episode? It used to be my favorite, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now!

Hmm, it should be on YouTube. Maybe? Unless it was taken down.

It was. Curse you YouTube! You and the people who decided BLOSC wasn't good enough to put on DVD! Seriously, how hard is it to make a two season DVD set of a fairly recent cartoon? They've converted old footage from the Flintstones, and that was made in 1960! And they don't even show BLOSC on TV anymore! Grr... >(
