Stuff Abducted Turns Up Revolving Nowhere
"As if trying to kill us wasn't bad enough. Now they're singing their cruddy song!" -- Numbuh 4
Information
Summary: When Numbuh 3's Rainbow Monkeys go missing, the team goes into space to find them. They then discover Rainbow Monkeys make up Saturn's rings. While looking for her missing stuffed animals, Numbuh 3 discovers that the one behind the monkey-napping is a rejected intelligent Rainbow Monkey named Ramon-4, who thought if he can't be loved, then no other Rainbow Monkey can be loved! Will he let the Rainbow Monkeys go, or will every Rainbow Monkey drift alone in space forever?
Trivia/Goofs
- This is the seventh Numbuh Three episode.
- In the end of the episode, it was raining Rainbow Monkeys from Saturn.
- In Operation: R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S., Numbuh 3 can track down Rainbow Monkeys with her nose, but in this episode, she said she can smell it with her heart.
- When Numbuh 4 is dreaming, he mumbles: "So you do like me, too? Well why didn't you say it before?" in his sleep, implying his crush on Numbuh 3.
- This episode features several references to classic science fiction films:
- The journey to Saturn and discovery of a large, unexpected object in orbit there are a reference to 2001: A Space Odessy. (Note that while in the film the mission's destination was Jupiter, in Arthur C. Clarke's novel it was Saturn.)
- When Numbuh 1 orders Numbuh 2 to activate the backup propulsion system, he plays four musical notes on his keyboard. They are the first four notes of the five note alien melody from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- Ramon-4 taking his name from those letters left on his nameplate when the rest have been covered over by rust, and subsequently the revelation of his full name (Rainbow Monkey 4-ever), is based on V'Ger in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, as are the space walk sequence and the visual design of the episode's conclusion.
- Ramon's nameplate has been shown to rust since leaving Earth, although this physically impossible, for the rusting process only can occur in the presence of oxygen, of which there is none in space.
- Numbuh 4 was the one to pull the alarm, which he also does in Operation G.H.O.S.T.
