[edit] Plot

While spying on other Invaders that have already conquered their planets, Zim discovers that the Earth has been stolen by the Planet Jackers -- aliens who capture planets to avoid the destruction of their own home planet by the feeding them to their alien sun. Of course, there is a treaty against any Planet Jackers taking planets marked for Irken conquest, but since Zim is not an official Invader, Earth is not marked and is therefore free game. And thus, a semi-great confrontation occurs, where Zim must battle to save the Earth... so he can destroy it himself.

[edit] Trivia

  • When the Voot Cruiser crashes into the giant tv screen sky, one of Zim's eyes pops out of his head. In the very next shot, Zim pops it back in.
  • This is Richard Horvitz's favorite Invader Zim episode.
