When the group realizes that Zim is actually an alien they all bow down and beg him to share his wisdom from beyond. (except for Boll who asks Zim to bless the corns on his toes). Zim manages to get a distress call out to GIR who comes to the rescue as Government Man, the perfect foil to a group who ostensibly is open minded and prone to question reality and authority but who in fact all stand around when Government Man asserts that Zim is in fact an experimental aircraft.
We later see many of the Children as followers of the Blotch (the Blotch knows!) during an airing of Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery - but because we don't know when that episode was taped we can't tell if the Blotch was before or after the group encountered Zim.
In all, though, I like the tinfoil hats. It's a masterful touch. |
Even Zim has a saucer-hat |
