Dexter Detention (Dexter’s Laboratory)

"Dexter Detention" is the third and final half of the 19th episode of Season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory, which first aired on November 19, 1997.

Plot
Dexter is given detention after accidentally shouting out the answer to a test question.

Why It Deserves Detention and Solitary Confinement

 * 1) Dexter's teacher, Miss Wimple, is somewhat of a pervert. The way she acts toward Dexter makes her sound like she has a romantic connection with him.
 * 2) * Given how she just flat out sends Dexter to detention for being "harassed" during a test, she should have been fired.
 * 3) * She could've also just skipped grading that question as well.
 * 4) This episode tries to make fun of detention, but it's poorly handled, as it is pretty much another Dexter torture episode, with Dexter sent to detention after accidentally shouting out an answer to a classmate, and later gets confined in a tight space after a bully made him mess up his chalk writing.
 * 5) While the classmate was also clearly wrong for asking a question to the test and should have been punished instead of Dexter, Dexter himself could have just controlled his impulse and handled the situation better by simply reporting the classmate to Miss Wimple instead.
 * 6) The bully in the detention room punches Dexter hard for no reason, then later shoves him while they were writing on the chalkboard.
 * 7) The Detention Warden can be seen as harsh with the students who don’t follow the rules and puts "criminal" students in solitary confinement, which is a very small tight space on the floor. Even Miss Trunchbull was never this harsh towards Matilda Wormwood.
 * 8) * The running gag of him saying "criminal" is also very annoying.
 * 9) Why would a school have a solitary confinement section, let alone one that's only as big as Dexter?
 * 10) The detention room feels more like a prison than an actual detention room.
 * 11) Escaping from detention can never end well, as it’s shown when Dexter ends up in prison.
 * 12) A bad ending with Dexter instantly sent to prison after his failed attempt to escape detention.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Dexter befriends the other detention students, and we can understand why they would want to escape from this so not normal detention.
 * 2) The Morse Code is pretty interesting and shows us that Dexter can learn more and become smarter.
 * 3) The episode started good, until the moment when Dexter accidentally shouted out the test answer.
