- Quotes
[Launchpad is reading a book while flying the Thunderquack so recklessly, Darkwing is being bounced around]
Darkwing Duck: Launchpad! Would you mind paying a bit more attention to your flying? I'd like to meet with the warden while I'm still among the living.
Launchpad McQuack: Sorry, D.W. Say, did you know some police departments use psychic powers to solve crimes?
Darkwing Duck: Just what kind of tripe are you reading?
[takes the book]
Launchpad McQuack: It's the latest in the "Incredibly Large and Weird Books For Your Coffee Table" collection.
Darkwing Duck: Launchpad, there is no easy way to solve a crime. Just logic, deduction, and a thorough compiling of clues. Yeah, yeah. That's how I locked Bushroot away in the first place.
Launchpad McQuack: Gee, I thought it was because he tried hiding in the back of a police car.
Darkwing Duck: [groans] Just land the plane. The warden's waiting.

Have been on a roll reviewing individual episodes for certain shows, animated, non-animated and of as many genres as possible (many as part of certain quests), and decided to do it with 'Darkwing Duck' and some others. Something that, as expected and hoped, has proven to be a more than worthwhile project and experience. "Twin Beaks" is one of the best episodes, and exemplifies what is so great about the show.
Maybe a few too many characters and a few are more interesting than others, but most work and Bushroot continues to grow on me.
The animation is very colourful and atmospheric as always however. The music matches what is going on perfectly while it is impossible to forget one of the catchiest theme songs in animation.
Writing is witty, very funny without being too silly and thought-probing without being complicated. Things don't get too childish and it is all easy to follow. The story is compelling and lively in pace without being rushed, and executes a nice idea imaginatively without being too silly. Darkwing is an immensely likeable and fun title character and Launchpad never fails to bring a smile to my face. Gossalyn adds a lot of spunk and really spices things up even more, she is not a brat neither is she too overly-cute.
Jim Cummings fits Darkwing like a glove, it is always lovely to hear him in non-villain roles when he excels just as well in them. Christine Cavanaugh is a major part of why Gossalyn works so well as a character, and Terence McGovern is note-perfect for Launchpad.
Overall, great. 9/10 Bethany Cox
