Plot

Courage becomes mutated as a fly after Di Lung's experiment, however, a satellite lands from his experiment and starts falling into the Bagge farmhouse.

Why It's A Small Fly With A Huge Solution

1. A decent concept based on Courage becoming a fly to solve the problem of lifting the satellite and messing out with Eustace.
2. There are hilarious scenes throughout this episode:
   • The Courage mutation scene, despite being gross-out.
   • The entire scene where Eustace gets disturbed by Courage the fly, including him injuring Muriel on purpose.
   • When Eustace placed Muriel's face correctly, she uses her rolling pin, only to get crushed by saying "Ow! What did I do?"
   • The scenes where the General and Lieutenant fight, including the Lieutenant's socks scene.
   • Eustace's line: "STUPID DOG FLY!" twice.
   • The ending scene is also hilarious, with Courage the fly imitating Di Lung's voice by saying "I don't think so, ya fool!" and laughing.
3. Courage being clever enough to fix the satellite by letting it stop landing on the farmhouse, although the center destroys it as it launches up, is interesting.
4. Outside of the fighting scenes, Courage the fly sees the General and Lieutenant realizing that the only way to stop the satellite is something small that can fly as it can access inside, but "ain't gonna happen", which is interesting.
5. Even though Di Lung appears in two scenes, he is an interesting character who invents a magnet that can pull a satellite and a mutation serum that can mutate.
6. Good Ending: As mentioned before, Muriel asks Courage to rescue Eustace, but he says "I don't think so, ya fool!" and laughs.

Bad Qualities

1. The scene where Courage mutates is gross-out and grotesque, except for the three heads and the body transformations since these are hilarious.
2. Eustace swatting himself and Muriel are a bit disturbing.
   • The scene where Eustace pulls Muriel's face, showing her skull face.
3. Eustace watching TV is a filler.
   • Additionally, the General and Lieutenant fighting scenes are just filler despite being hilarious.
4. The cow dung scene is disgusting to watch.
