For the first time in a long time, a cartoon had me on the edge of my seat.

Just finished watching the new episode of Spectacular Spider-Man (great show BTW, with a cool title sequence and a lot of nods to the classic comics, like the half mask that shows up when his spider sense goes off as Perter, or the squiggily lines that show up when he is in costume.) And at the very end I was sitting there waiting for them to do it. All the other stuff they have used from the past kind of indicated that they would, but I wasn't sure. Then at the end of the show, Peter met his date for the Fall Formal, Mary Jane Watson.

The last few weeks they have been talking about her and Peter figured she would be ugly or something, just like he did in the comics. So as he was walking to the door, I was sitting there excitedly saying "say it". And when he opened the door, she did!!!!!!!

Not only that, but they also gave her a dress similar to the one she wore when she first showed up int he comics!!! Defiantly a nerd moment for me :)

And in case you are wondering how the scene looked, or what she said, here is a scan of her first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #42 (before that she had been shown, but only from the back or her face was blocked by something. Think Wilson from Home Improvement)
