I figure there are lots of folks probably doing the whole “Best of” lists for 2011 (myself included eventually!) so I figured I’d take a somewhat different approach. Rather than considering only the “best” or “worst” I figured I’d take a look at significance. And because I’m wishy washy, I couldn’t narrow it down to just 10, I had to sneak an 11th in there just for discussion purposes.

As we stand on the eve of The Hub announcing Season 2 renewals, a critical Presidents Day marathon appears to have given G.I. Joe: Renegades a nice bump in the ratings, which will hopefully push it closer to renewal.
The Hub announced today double digit increases in ratings for their G.I. Joe: Renegades “Don’t Fade” marathon, which aired for 3 hours on Presidents’ Day. This is a good sign for the program, and hopefully will provide the additional incentive to get it renewed for a second season.

Well, as much as can be expected, anyway. I will admit, though, the episode shuffling has been very minor, and the online resources seem to be mostly correct when it comes to the episode lineup, so I’m considering this relatively official.
MSN TV has just posted a run of April listings for G.I. Joe: Renegades, and this is what we’ve got:
- Shipwrecked – April 15
- Castle Destro – April 22
- Union of the Snake – April 29
Some very intriguing episode titles, I must say. A pretty obvious guest star for the 15th, and I love the sounds of diving deeper into Destro’s back story. Some real potential. In fact, over the next run of 6 episodes, it sounds like things could really be picking up! Storm Shadow, Shadow-Vipers, Zartan’s return, the Crimson Twins, Snow Job, Shipwreck, and more Destro details? Sign me up! I know I’m ready for G.I. Joe: Renegades to come back. Who’s with me?

So, G.I. Joe: Renegades returns with new episodes next Friday, March 11th, but the episode shuffle has pushed “Whiteout” back to March 25th. To this point we hadn’t heard any episode details, but now TVGuide.com sheds some light on the subject:
“The prototype Shadow-Vipers and Storm Shadow follow the Joes to Canada, where they are hiding out with Snow Job.”
So Shadow-Vipers, Snow Job, and the return of Storm Shadow? Whiteout was initially an episode I wasn’t all that excited to check out, but suffice it to say, that’s changed now! Thanks to The Terror Drome for the information.

Everyone set your DVR’s!
By and large, many folks have been complaining about Zartan’s first appearance in the G.I. Joe: Renegades universe…but it looks like the Renegades writers are looking to make it right, with Episode 14 – “Knock Offs”. According to TVGuide.com, the infamous Cobra Master of Disguise may finally get a recognizable look:
“Lady Jaye and Flint use Zartan to track the Joes. Meanwhile, the Baroness tries to sneak a camouflage suit to Cobra”
Excellent. According to Zartan’s official bio, he steals the camouflage suit, and something tells me, he will end up looking a lot more like the Zartan we know and love. Can’t wait.

For fans of G.I. Joe: Renegades like myself, the date March 4th had been circled on the calendar as the next new episode. According to MSN TV.com it was slated to be “Whiteout” and rumors indicated that perhaps Snow Job would be making an appearance.
This does not seem to be the case, however, as enterprising Renegades fan kennywr22 has checked his DirectTV listings, and the next episode is now not slated to air until March 11th. The March 11th episode will be “Brothers of Light” featuring the debut of Tomax and Xamot!
This information does seem to jive with other things, too, considering we already saw a promo video for Brothers of Light, and already had an episode description for it as well. According to the IMDB Episode Guide, Whiteout is now Episode 15, and will be airing after “Knock Offs”.
Thanks very much to kenny for this information!
