The Crime Of All Centuries has all the right elements to make a very enjoyable episode. The villain once again is a familiar comic book original and dinosaurs, it seems, never fail to capture children's imaginations. Perhaps one of the aspects I like most about this episode is the introduction of the sub-plot, in this instance the issue of Bobby paying his rent. This allows for an element of comedy whilst gaining an insight into character relationships.  It reminds us in a fun way that although the trio might be superheroes saving the world, they are just college students too!  The reason I give it a three star rating and not a four is that the few episodes I consider to be a four star rating, have a certain edge that I believe really makes them stand out amongst the rest.


  
This is an episode that didn't thrill me but there were highlights that make this episode fun.  Comedy & one-liners were strong in this episode too making up slightly for the unlikable story.  The main reason I don't like it is probably due to Firestar's attraction to Kraven in the first half of the show.  Surely someone who trained with the X-men would not be so impressed by him.  Still she is a teen-ager so that may explain her infatuation.  Just why does Kraven want to rule New York with his Dinosaur army anyway?  For me one of the highlights is Ms. Lion leading Iceman & Spidey to Stan's Pet Shop when she was supposed to be tracking a kidnapped Firestar. The cameo by Stan Lee as well as mention of Karen Page & Simon Williams was also a plus.  Bobby trying to come up with rent throughout the episode also made it more enjoyable.  I still don't know if Bobby forgot he paid or if Peter & Angelica paid it for him.


   
Ditto Caroline.  Definitely a solid episode with some classic moments.  Classic of all classics: the scene where Aunt May unwittingly turns the boy's room into the secret crime lab.  Everybody knew it was going to happen eventually, but it was still a hoot to see it!  In this episode, it should become glaringly apparent to any comic book fan that writer Don Glut is a comic fan himself.  His knowledge of Marvel Universe history, from his use of the Savage Land and little nuances like the names in the movie marquee, makes this show what it should be.  I agree with Mark in that the concept is a little flawed, but this still a strong episode and a good example that this series was above and beyond other cartoons of it's time.
