Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars

Zim notices the Almighty Tallest are closer than ever to Earth. He wants them to view his newest scheme to destroy the humans, a monster that sucks out and eats the brains of human beings that Zim has in stasis waiting for release. The Tallest, of course, aren't interested and decline.

During this time the Tallest run into a Vort cruiser filled with different alien species united in their hatred of the Irkens, a resistance movement who name themselves the "Resisty." The cruiser is obviously no match for the Tallest's ship, the Massive and the Tallest fire on the ship, strangely missing the Vort ship as the Massive goes out of control and starts crashing into things. The "Resisty" follow, firing on the ship as it goes on its crazy course towards Earth.


t turns out that Zim is the source of the problem and has used his computer to lock onto the Massive's power core to steer the Tallest to Earth. However, Dib uses Tak's ship, with the signal relayed Zim's base, to also take control of the Massive. He is able to do this as while inside Zim's base, because in TAK: The Hideous New Girl (you don't see this happen directly in the episode) placed a probe inside ZIM's base. The probe in conjunction with Tak's abandoned ship, which crashed empty on Dib's lawn at the end of the previous episode, lets Dib control the Massive. As Zim was eventually forced to deal with the Roboparents (who were dealing with a visiting boy), GIR was instructed to take control of the Massive ,to which he responded 'I don't know what you just said', but he did indeed obey the instruction, competing for control against Dib.

Zim continues to fight with Dib over control over the Massive. Later, however, the Roboparents escape and wreak havoc when someone visits Zim's house, and the Brain-eating parasite starts to break free. In the end, the Tallest use a teleporter to switch their power core with the Resisty's, resulting in the Vort cruiser being dragged towards the Earth instead.

As the Massive is being cleaned and repaired, the Tallest attempt to establish a video link with Zim, expecting to 'hurt' him. Instead, they see the aftermath of his day's failed plans through the video link (seeing what was going on made Purple throw up). offscreen Zim got it out somehow

I think it is cool because this has ALIEN guest stars AND ALIENS ARE COOL
