Okay, I remember when this show first came out. I fan-adored it. I actually came to dislike Jake and Trixie for their stereotypes. My favorite characters were Spud (AWESOMENESS) and Rose. I loved most things in it however (as long as bad-rapper Trixie was absent) and loved the plot, Spud (*sigh*), and the theme song (A. J. Trauth rocked). Then Season 2 came out. A horrible artist for the theme song, crappy graphics, and TRIXIE. If you watch the show,watch Season 1, and don't even bother with Season 2. Other things that bothered me was one episode (Dragon's Summit) that seemed to infringe on a book I've read prior. The idea for the show was great, Spud, A.J. as the theme song singer, and Rose were great. Most of the plot, Jake, Trixie, Fuu-Dog (???) were not.

Okay, I watched this show (and episode) long ago. But in recent events of my reading level, I have the book upon this episodes basing. Funny, you didn't know it was based on a book, neither did I. I got the rude awakening when I read book 4-6 of the Darren Shan Saga and found I knew the basics of storyline. Why you ask, because I saw this episode long ago. This episode changed names, species (vampires to dragons), and cut out a few deaths, and added more friends to books 4-6 of the Darren Shan Saga.

Both have a council, both have a kid who must participate in tasks to protect their master. Both are slightly famous by their standing (Jake is the first American Dragon, Darren is the youngest vampire (half or full) in a long time). Both have an evil emerging, both have the evil's ally in the council leaders. For Christ's sake, both have a fire related task! I personally hate this episode.
