The Secret Saturdays | comment |
The Secret Saturdays is a Cartoon Network action-adventure animated series created by Jay Stephens, an underground comic book artist responsible for the Emmy Award-winning Tutenstein and Annie Award nominee Jetcat. The series ran from October 3rd, 2008 to January 30th, 2010.The show follows the titular Saturdays, a family of cryptozoologists consisting of parents Doc and Drew, their biological son, Zak, their adopted son, a Fiskerton phantom named Fisk, and their pets, a Komodo dragon named Komodo and a pterosaur named Zon. They belong to an international organization known as the Secret Scientists, whose mission statement is to uncover the secrets of the world before those who would use them for ill get the chance.Eleven years prior to the story, Doc and Drew unearthed a mystical item from a Sumerian archaeological dig called the Kur Stone. It was then stolen by V.V. Argost, the beloved host of TV's Weird World. He aims to find Kur, an ancient Sumerian cryptid said to have the power to raise a cryptid army, with which he intends to Take Over the World. Although the Scientists were able to retrieve and dismantle it, eleven years later, Argost has figured out who was guarding which piece, and begins the chase anew...The show can best be described as Jonny Quest crossed with The Herculoids with a touch of B-list horror thrown in, with Stephens citing artist Alex Toth and Hanna-Barbera's 1960s action-adventure programming as large influences.One of the most under-appreciated series to air on the network, The Secret Saturdays was shuffled from timeslot to timeslot and given virtually no advertising or reruns. The characters made an appearance years later in the Ben 10: Omniverse episode "T.G.I.S. (Thank Goodness It's Saturday)", albeit with different voice actors and character designs. | |

Flaming Sword | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_10dafb12 | comment |
Flaming Sword: Drew wields a solar-powered fire sword capable of shooting fireballs and generating a wide dome of fire. It works in moonlight, too, where the flames turn blue. The design is based on the blade wielded by the bodhisattva Manjushri, which symbolizes wisdom that cuts through ignorance. | |

Single Specimen Species: Many of the cryptids appear to be this, or else have incredibly low population numbers. This may point to a more mystical origin for cryptids as opposed to normal animals. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: In "Paris is Melting," the assembled Secret Scientists express disbelief that an Alternate Universe and Evil Doppelgangers are the cause of Fiskerton's rampages, despite all the other fantastic things they've encountered. Sometimes Doc's disbelief in magic comes across this way, although Sufficiently Analyzed Magic is in play in this setting, and Doc's issue is more with the idea that unexplained phenomena can't be explained period, not that it can't be explained with their current technology. | |

Badass Adorable: Zak — tiny and cute, 11 years old, but he's always had a penchant for danger, and grows into the role of hero as the show continues. Fiskerton — cuddly and comical, but do not get between him and the family. As sweet as he is, he's still a seven-foot tall gorilla-cat. | |

Ghost Town: In "Where Lies the Engulfer", Doyle takes Zak on training mission set in an abandoned resort town in northern Canada. Doyle attributes its ghost town status to the fact that dream projects like this get abandoned all the time — he's never questioned it. It turns out that the lake that the town draws water from gets aggressive if any is taken, and the two find mad scrawling all over the town, as well as a last will and testament, when it starts chasing them. | |

Sadly Mythtaken | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: Some cryptid portrayals diverge from their original accounts, in some cases by quite a bit. The Ahuul is depicted as a monkey with pterosaur wings on its back. Real-life descriptions of the creature typically describe it as a giant bat. The Garuda seen in the show is a huge eagle with no other outstanding traits. The mythological Garuda is usually depicted as a winged man, a humanoid bird (usually with distinct arms and legs), or some middle ground between the two, and usually carries weapons or armor. This is downplayed, however, insofar as the actual Garuda doesn't appear; the creature seen on-screen is an illusion. The Grootslang is depicted as a giant green elephant with four tusks, horns, and a long, spikes-tipped tail. The folkloric Grootslang as described by South African folklorists and travelogues was a fifty-foot python with diamonds for eyes. The closest thing to the show's version is from the 2001 book Giants, Monsters, and Dragons: An Encyclopedia of Folklore, Legend, and Myth, which describes the beast as "huge, like an elephant, with a serpent's tail". The Mapinguari is depicted in the manner common in cryptozoology — that is, as essentially a surviving giant ground sloth. The Mapinguari of Amazonian folklore is a cyclops with a mouth on its belly. The Piasa Bird is depicted as a horned, pterosaur or wyvern-like creature with an arrowhead-tipped tail, hands on its wings, and no mammalian traits beyond a small beard. The Piasa depicted on the Mississippi River murals is somewhat poorly known due to the original depiction being lost, but the contemporary descriptions on which the modern replica was based describe it as having deer antlers, a bearded human face, and an extremely long tail tipped in a fish fin. The wings in the modern version aren't recorded by earlier sources. The Rakshasa is a horned, tusked, and purple tiger. The Rakshasa of Indian myths are depicted as monstrous humanoid demons, and are only rarely specifically tiger-like. The Shedu is essentially a Dimetrodon with a monstrous face and a lizard tongue. The Shedu of Babylonian myth and art was a counterpart to and often synonym for the Lamassu, a bull or lion with wings and a human head. | |

Love the Product, Hate the Producer: Weird World is an extremely popular TV show run and hosted by V.V. Argost, the Saturday's most hated and dangerous enemy, who repeatedly tries to kill them all when they attempt to foil his plans for world domination. Despite this Zak still watches Argost's show regularly and has various Weird World merchandise in his room, much to his parent's chagrin. | |

Sometimes it's possible to make out a word or two, but for the most part it's unintelligible. Subverted in-universe; while most characters have as much trouble understanding him as the audience, Zak has no trouble understanding him at all, probably owing to his cryptid powers. | |

Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_330ef176 | comment |
Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious: Word of God has explained that cryptids in this universe are unique animals that share a common, mysterious bond, regardless of whether or not they've been scientifically confirmed to exist. They apparently also share some similar quirk in their DNA, although the family was forced to destroy that research before it could be completed. | |

Properly Paranoid: Doyle always carries bottled water, even to places that have a lake-fed water system like the Mountain View Resort in "Where Lies the Englufer," because he learned to never trust tap water in the sketchy places he spent his youth. Later in the same episode, Zak and Doyle learn that the nearby lake is filled with minuscule cryptids that can turn the lake into Murder Water and go after anyone who takes water from the taps...like Zak. | |

Flash Back: "Van Rook's Apprentice" is the first instance of a flashback to the incident in the Himalayas that rendered Drew an orphan. We later get the full story in "And Your Enemies Closer," where Doyle remembers that it wasn't just a storm that tore their family apart - the yeti was there, too. "Ghost In The Machine" has a flashback to Doc's childhood spent working in a gene sequencing lab in the Louisiana bayou. "The Kur Guardian" features Fiskerton flashing back to his first meeting with Zak, and his eventual adoption into the Saturday family. "The Return of Tsul'Kalu" shows how Doc got his blind eye — it's a remnant of a battle with the titular Tsul'Kalu after Doc took responsibility for Zak accidentally destroying a sacred site. | |

Meaningful Echo: In the very first episode, Van Rook berates Doyle's waste of concussion grenades by yelling at him that "two is plenty." At Van Rook's funeral, Doyle puts three flowers on the grave then takes one back, because "two is plenty." When Doyle is first dismissed from Team Saturday, it's on unfriendly terms, and he storms off with an angry "see you around, family." The next time he decides to leave, it's after they've patched things up, and he simply wants to be his own boss. His parting words are, once again, "see you around, family," but notably happier. | |

Meaningful Name | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Zak comes from a long line of biblical names, so his name is probably short for some variant of Zakarya, meaning "God has remembered." This becomes incredibly significant when it's revealed that he's Kur's reincarnation. Solomon means "peace," and Doc tends to be very calm. It's also the name attached to the Lesser Key of Solomon, a book on demonology, which parallels Doc's job. Drew and Doyle are both Gaelic in origin, reflecting their family connection. Wadi is an Arabic term for a riverbed that's only full after heavy rain, which ties into her people's connection with water. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Argost tells Zak that Kur's power will crush his like a "field mouse in the paw of a bengal tiger" in the second episode. Francis's gives a speech to Zak about how Good Is Dumb (and villains are, too) in "The Swarm At The Edge Of Space". Argost delivers one to Zak in "Into the Mouth of Darkness" that leaves him incredibly disillusioned. Zak's speech to Argost in the series finale, telling Argost that he's a terrible scientist and explaining to him exactly how he's doomed himself. A pity the soundproof chamber prevented Argost from actually hearing any of it. | |

Bad Powers, Good People: There are indications that Zak's powers are inherently evil, even as far back as Season 1, where they automatically invert the powers of a good-luck tiger; even Word of God has chimed in that losing his powers was the only way for Zak to have firmly stayed on the side of good. However, he does his best to be a hero regardless. | |

Wham Episode: "Cryptid Vs. Cryptid." The episode ends with Argost having plundered the tomb of Kur, only to find a bas relief of Fiskerton's species at the bottom. "And Your Enemies Closer". Argost finally makes his move, kidnapping Zak, summoning Zak Monday, and stealing Zak Monday's powers, which kills him in the process. This finally culminates in the reveal that Argost is a cryptid himself, (the Yeti no less) five seconds after it would have been useful for Zak to know. The episode ends with both sides gearing up for an all-out war. | |

Terror-dactyl: Zon is a downplayed example. She's a Tropeognathus with some glaring inaccuracies (she can walk bipedally, her wing membranes end at her hips rather than going down to her feet, she looks hairless apart from a mane-like crest), and is initially hostile toward the Saturdays when they destroy her nest, but Zak manages to tame her and she becomes a friendly family member. The Duah is a straight example, a vicious pterosaur-like monster with bat-like wings, a mostly scaly body (apart from a ruff around his neck), a toothy beak combined with a short crest, and a long reptilian tail. Zon still finds him attractive. | |

Apocalypse How: In "The Atlas Pin", the Nagas threaten to cause a Class 4 by pulling the titular pin out of its place between the tectonic plates, which would cause a global earthquake chain severe enough to rip apart the continents. In Season 2, the Nagas actively want Kur (who is Zak) to inflict a Class 3a, and Kur's powers themselves seem to want him to go through with Kill All Humans. In the series finale, when Argost has obtained the powers of Kur's antimatter doppelgänger, the Nagas persuade him to try doing this to humanity instead of merely subjugating them. | |

When Zak defeats him in the Season 1 finale, Argost is willing to throw away his own well-being in an effort to get petty revenge on the Saturdays, and it takes Munya defying orders and fleeing with him to keep him from going through with it. In Season 2, when he starts losing the cryptid war against Zak, Rani Nagi takes advantage of his resulting breakdown to convince him to change goals from ruling humanity to destroying them. | |

Foreshadowing: Zak's powers cause the good-luck blue tiger's powers to turn into bad luck, foreshadowing the inherently evil nature of his own powers. Zak is immune to whatever the owlman uses to knock out the rest of his family. He may have been granted immunity because of his own mental abilities as Kur. When Zak asks Fiskerton to point out on a spinning globe where his instincts are saying Kur is, Fisk points through the globe at Zak, shattering it. Zak is Kur, and Fisk's instincts were completely correct. Argost tells Zak that he has "a weakness for the classic monster cliches." Argost turns out to be a yeti, meaning he is a "classic monster." | |

Mood Whiplash: "Into The Mouth Of Darkness" a light-hearted filler episode that does a 180 when Argost gives Zak the episode's moral: that Zak is destined for evil because Kur is inherently so, and that the bunyips are afraid of him because they know what his powers are. | |

The Secret Saturdays / int_a4e3759e | comment |
You Don't Look Like You: The transition from this show to Ben 10 Omniverse came with a rather noticeable change in style, far too much to excuse it as being merely a timeskip. Special mention goes to Drew's fire sword. It looks and behaves like a piece of technology mimicking the effects of Doc's power glove, rather than a mystical Tibetan artifact that produces fire. Heck, special mention to Drew herself. She went from looking like an attractive but mature adult old enough to have a child to looking almost as young as her son. | |

Town with a Dark Secret: Sanctuary 2 seems like a successful utopian experiment, until it's revealed that they derive their electricity by painfully funneling it out of a lau. The city in "The Owlman Feeds At Midnight" is very pushy about getting the Saturdays to stop investigating the town's disappearances and leave...because it turns out they've all been brainwashed into the titular owlman's personal cult. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Secret Saturdays / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The show's animation style is a Shout-Out to 1960s and 1970s animation. Visually, it hearkens back to Jonny Quest, The Herculoids, and Thundarr the Barbarian, as well as a lot of the action shows that came out of Hanna-Barbera. V.V. Argost's full name is Vincent Vladislav, with the Vincent being taken from Vincent Price. His show, Weird World, is appears to reference Tales from the Crypt and Ripley's Believe It or Not!. Since creator Jay Stephens hails from the world of comics, Van Rook appears to reference Iron Man, and Munya's transformation sequence is reminiscent of the Hulk. The show makes several references to its contemporary, Ben 10. Animo, Enoch and Hex can be seen in the Saturday criminal database, and Beeman swears by "sweet Galvan Prime" in "Guess Who's Going to be Dinner?" | |

The Secret Saturdays / int_c9848555 | comment |
Taken During the Ending: In Season 2 "The Legend of Garuda", when the Saturdays, the Secret Scientists, and the Nagas temporarily team up to stop Gokul from killing Zak to kill Kur by using the Flute of Gilgamesh for his ritual, they succeed in stopping Gokul but he escapes and they believe he took the flute with him. After everyone part ways, it turns out the flute was left behind at the ritual site and Argo shows up at the end to take the flute for himself. He would later use the flute in "And Your Enemies Closer". | |

Messianic Archetype: Zak. Subverted when it turns out he wasn't born to stop Kur, but rather, he is Kur, but played straight again once Argost absorbs antimatter Kur and Zak is the only one who can stop him. He even has a Heroic Sacrifice, dies, and gets resurrected. | |

The Secret Saturdays / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Jerkass: Van Rook is slimy, cheap, and such a bad mentor that Doyle fantasized about beating him up while he was still apprenticed under him. Dr. Beeman operates in perpetual Sarcasm Mode, openly mocks his allies, and has the least qualms about the Scientist's plan to cryogenically freeze Zak indefinitely. Both Epsilon and Francis qualify. Francis is arrogant, manipulative, and takes every opportunity he can to insult Zak's intelligence or "personal grooming." Epsilon is more business-like, but that doesn't stop him from loudly and angrily berating Francis for having thoughts of his own. | |

Exotic Entree: Piecemeal's only desire is to eat cryptids. In "The Return of Tsul 'Kalu", Doyle has to protect a black market cryptid dealer who eats panda dumplings. Doyle himself takes a bite before he knows what they are, and when he finds out, he spits it out and berates the dealer. | |

Weakened by the Light: In "The Owlman Feeds at Midnight", the titular Monster of the Week really doesn't like fire or bright light. The Saturdays use this to try and subdue it, but Doyle ends up giving it too much light when he resorts to bringing a jetpack into the mix and ends up vaporizing it. | |

You Killed My Father: Ulraj attempts to avenge his father by destroying Argost, but realizes that it'd require crossing a line he isn't willing to cross and backs out. Drew and Doyle need to be talked down from pursuing Argost past the Moral Event Horizon by Zak once they learn that he killed their parents. Rani Nagi tries to invoke this in Zak by leaving his parents to die at the hands of the Secret Scientists. This is after she promises to help them out. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: In Season 2, the Secret Scientists decide that the best way to deal with the Kur problem is to cryogenically freeze Zak indefinitely, until they can find a solution. This is eclipsed only by Gokul of the Legion of Garuda deciding the best method is to tear Kur's soul out of Zak's body, a process which will also kill Zak. | |
