This is a very quirky and unique episode propelled by some relatively clever writing and endearing voice performances. To be sure you have your standard MacGuffin that can do bad things if it falls into the wrong hands blah, blah, blah, but the execution here is what causes it to, ahem, rise above the average G. I. Joe episode.
One of the things that I've always loved about G. I. Joe is that the various characters all have distinct personalities, and when they're mixed just right (as they are here), it really adds an extra little zip to things. The de facto villain of the episode is a lot of fun and the standard good guys/bad guys teaming up to defeat a common foe stuff is also executed pretty well.
In short, "Raise the Flagg!" is an entertaining, second-tier episode well worth seeking out.
