A retrospective look on the time since Kevin Keene arrived in Videoland. Oddly, there were two versions...one with voices...and one (the first shown version) without. The entire tone of the episode makes it one of the most confusing episodes as it doesn't seem entirely restrospective in how it's done...thus making many wonder...with as many battles as we've won, did we lose the war?
